NTSC-U games will work, PAL ones don't.
Many games are region free by default tho.

What you could do is download it, stealth patch it and load it.
See if it boots.
If it doesn't then it's locked to PAL and doesn't work on an NTSC console.

The game I wanted to download shows both regions yet when I go to their post it only has one set of downloads. I'm just not sure if it just means it will work with both regions or it is locked to one.

It just says PAL/NTSC like this: "Region: PAL/NTSC"

It's up to the higher ups to decide to promote me or not ;p

I just love to help c:

The game ended up working but I have enough question but not sure if you would have an answer. I have an xk3y and trying to play Original Xbox games but all don't load and just give me the error message. Any idea how to get around that or program to check what is wrong?

I've actually never dabbled with them.
But, I seen somewhere that you'd need to convert them with Xdvdmulleter before you'll be able to load them from the Xkey.
Basically, they need to be 1:1 copies of the games.

They definitely do work (the ones supported by the Xbox emulator that is)

Ok hit a little bit of a wall.... Xdvdmulleter has 5 options for an iso and not sure what to pick. DVD9 ISO, DVD5, Standard ISO, Standard Xbox 1 ISO, and Cloned DVD9 ISO. I'm going with the standard Xbox 1 ISO first but if you know if another one is better let me know :D

    I just recently picked up a n64 from a garage sell, and looking to mod it and add a HDMI port to it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3548173115...044&customid=4f3038da73b61afddf7e5e90f4153856
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'd like to find a power strip and HDMI selector built in 1 unit, so I can select which game system I want, and will switch to that hdmi, and power on that plug/power supply only, so don't have all game systems powered all the time, but can't find anything like. May just have to make something myself.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Maybe start a kick starter page and sell them, yea right. Big N would prob C&D me, not anything Big N related, but just because that's what they do nowdays. Then come out with they own in a year or so.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nice. Which operating system are you installing?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, windows 10 and some linux distro like linux mint
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    dualbooth
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Yeah, I'd recommend having another OS just in-case you want to play games.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

    @SylverReZ,
    I recall @impeeza mentioned some trick about not having bloatware when installing windows where you set up your country to "world" or smh like that

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yes, you can debloat the operating system, but in some cases for me it just reinstalls them.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ,
    I also recall my brother downloded a "non bloated" version of windows 11 on his pc

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
