Xbox360 backwards compatibility?

[Speedy]

Had my xbox360 for ages now and have recently began craving for some of the games only available on the original xbox console. But after buying a few games only 2worked the others needed some addon thingy mebobsie. How can i get them to work seeing as though i dont have xbox live to download the software to run them? Any advice welcome.

Im pretty sure you need to download updates mate but there MAY be others way. Ask at game or gamestation mate.

Judging by what i read on there i can order a disc from microsoft to update my console to play original xbox games. Glad to see they cater for people who dont use xbox live.
