Joe, do I need Xbox Live, or is there an MS download I can burn onto a CD and load onto my 360?

You do need to set-up an xbox-live account to download the emulator. You also can burn the program of xbox.com & then run the the program thru your 360.

BTW, If there is way for you to get connected Microsoft is offering an XBOX LIVE FREE WEEKEND this weekend. You could download the emulator that way.

He didn't say if it played in HD. The game should be upconverted to 720p from 480p.

2k3 has been BC since the list was first put up. This latest update fixed issues with Ninja Gadien and added Black and World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 to the list.

speaking of xbox live, i know this is off the topic but i want to get it for my 360 but my modem is in the back of my house, i know they have the wireless modem for the 360 but its a 100 bucks which i think is a rip off. Whats the best way to connect to the the modem?

Thanks Joe for the info.

Yeah, I feel the same way about 2K3 vs 2K5. I'm happy with 2K5 until a better game comes along.

I use an ethernet cable, too. It doesn't go very far, though. But you can buy a really long one and have it run from the modem and then put like a small tube along the wall and staple it to the wall with the cable running through to your 360. If you can't find one long enough, buy 2 and get an ethernet cable connector and connect them together which should clear you. If you don't mind the cord hanging out freely, just run the cord from it to the back and don't worry about the pipe hiding it. I only use the pipe so it doesn't trip me when I walk down the hall at 2 am to take a p.iss..

2K3 was on the list but was a mistake. It never worked & Microsoft said so themselves on the B/C Page on xbox.com.

You could get yourself Cat5 Cable. They come in 50 & 100ft. They are a little expensive if that's what you want to do. You can run that cable directly from your modem to the back of your 360.

I run a 50ft Cat5 cable from my modem into my 360. Works gr-8 :thumbsup:

I have 2K3 and it indeed does play in full 720p! Maybe because I haven't played this game in so long, but the 360 seems to display this game better than my old Xbox does. It looks pretty good. If I had a way to get updated rosters into this game, it would surely be my "baseball fix" until 2k6 arrives.

well long *** ethernet cable or look for a wireless connector. Do a froogle search for it. YOu can use the original xbox one. Linksis makes one. Look for a deal on the website Cheapassgamer.com. Thats all i can think of.
They also come in a 250ft version

I actually bought the wireless adapter. It works really well. No lag to speak of and it's pretty simple to set up. What's also nice is that you can hook it up to a computer and there needs to be no settings changed to use it. It'll feed like it's a direct connect to your cable/dsl modem.
