to play xbox games on xbox 360 what does this mean?
Note: A software emulator is required for each original Xbox game you play on your Xbox 360™ console
……………
I’m trying to buy games that will play on Xbox 360 for a kid’s xmas party for needed kids. I have no way to know if they has this "emulator.". What is it? It is needed for EACH game? The director specifically said they play 360 games but many sellers have a mix.

It means the 360 that you are going to use must have a hard drive and a way to update it either from Xbox Live or from xbox.com to download the needed emulation software. An emulator copies the software used on the original Xbox to play original Xbox games on your 360. A hard drive is needed to do this. You can go here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm and look at the list of games that are backwards compatible. This means they are original Xbox games that can play on the Xbox 360. You can also look here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardscompatibility.htm to see how to make original Xbox games play on the 360. Follow the steps to either connect to Xbox Live for the update or burn the update to a disk.
