FranchisePlayer

Well I picked this up in My local gamestop for 15 euro and I sse it is on the backwards compatiablity list download the update for my 360 but it still doesn't work any Idea what to do?

I think there was problems for the PAL version of Jet Set.

Not 100% though.

Ah ****e timans was the xbox version just a reashed version of the dreamcast one or completly new game the dreamcast one was savage.

The US version works. The UK/PAL one doesn't.

Brand new game, much better than the DC game imo.

Timans

I know, PAL always suffers.

I never played either so I don't know. Was supposed to be a fantastic game though.

I actually prefered the DC version... or perhaps it's just nostalgia that makes me think I did. Either way... "much better"?

I'd love if they resurrected this IP. IMHO it was cell-shading done right. Nice soundtrack too!

Retr0gamer

Well they are fantastic games. I just felt that Future improved on the original in almost every way which is why I'd rate it a lot more than the original.

I really disliked the fact that spraying graffiti no longer requires deft analogue stick combos. IIRC the sequel seemed easier as a whole too.

to get back to the original question Is there nothing I can do but wait till they sort it out which seems unlikely and i also i saw panzer dragoon orta for sale is that rare retro?

From what I heard PAL Orta works on the 360. Orta is rare but isn't all that sought after. However I'm predicting it's price will rise considerably since it's a utterly fantastic game with a very low print run.

Beware, if you get into the story of orta you will probably end up buying a sega saturn just to play the prequel panzer dragoon saga, which isn't all that bad since it became my favourite game ever and gives a whole new meaning to Orta.

In case you need anymore convincing:

i'd say MS will sort out the compatibility of JSRF in the next update. Shouldn't be too much work since they got the NTSC version working, probably only a silly timing issue with the PAL version.

FranchisePlayer

right thanks cheers retro:D

You should be able to find PD Orta on ebay for around €15, and it seems easy enough to come by... You'll have a hard time finding a new copy though...
I was lucky enough to find a mint preowned copy in game for €10:)
It's well worth the money anyway
shame that JSRF doesn't work properly on the 360, that was top of my list of xbox games to get...

There were serious BC issues with Panzer Dragoon when I was playing it.
The update only works until the end of level 3 / 4 and then completely crashes.
Its an issue that effects the PAL version, so be careful when buying. Had to pull out the old brick to get it running (superb game by the way. 9/10 easy).
May have sorted it out though within the last month (dunno if tman played on 360?). Also my local gamestop (Bray) has loads of copies 2nd hand for 20 yo yos. Well worth it.

tman

ah balls!
I got to the end of level 4 (or possibly 3) and it crashed with a disk read error or something like that. my 360 seems to throw up quite a few disk read errors, so i just ignored it and switched the machine off... didn't realise that it was a problem with the emulation:(
I even checked the BC list before buying it, cheeky bastards:mad:

Heh welcome to the club

Nasty that it crashes just before the best level in the game

Looks like I want be getting rid of the old fatbox anytime soon.

Gamestop in Santry had Orta recently, give them a call,
I too was annoyed about the lack of JSRF support, the Xbox game is the better of the two. I guess it all comes down to personal taste, I fear, however, that there maybe a hint of snobbery in the fact that folk often prattle on how "the original was so much better" when often it wasn't.
JSRF added better gameplay, got shot of timers and was a lot better looking, but then it did come a couple of years after the intial DC release.

**** sake, I burnt the disc, installed the update and it still didn't work, now I know why.:mad:
Theyll probably never get JSRF PAL going....
