Well they updated the BC list again. Two o' dems are games I actually own, so there's that.
Aside from Guilty Gear X2, they added another fighting game (one I actually have) which is Marvel vs Capcom 2. Nice! I should try it right now! Ooh, the FMVs aren't skipping! This is great an... what? What is this supposed to be?
Yes, they have it "working" but the characters in combat (basically all the sprites) are all flickery and corrupted image looking. Every now and then, in fact, a character will kinda go invisible for a split second, which is all it takes in these sorts of games to throw you off. Possibly related to this (as in same cause), the text on everything has a bunch of dirty looking visual artifacts. This will not stand. They better update this one next time around.
The other game I have they added works far better, at least in so far as I've been able to test. They finally added Silent Hill 2 (they've had 4 working for a while now, though they have yet to fix the mildly skipping FMVs in that one). No major issues, but I think that the models seem to move a little more jumpy than I remember. I'll need to play the game again on the original XBox to be sure. They updated a few already compatible games to fix some bugs this time around, but none I own.
Of note to GR, they have Morrowind working now (don't have it myself). Not sure if it's just the original version or the game of the year version or both. You can test and tell me. Not because I can actually use the data, I just like collecting information.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
