Nope, not near 99% of the classic xbox games are playable on the 360.
Here's a link to the official Xbox 360 webpage listing compatible games. That is to say, games which have downloadable emulators for the old Xbox games ready for your use.

Insein, with all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about. Original Xbox games used an SDK which allowed the executable games to be compiled for the hardware of the original xbox. With the 360, Microsoft went to a different hardware architecture, implemented a different OS (including new kernel from Windows 2000), and a stripped-down hardware abstraction layer. This means that games originally compiled and marketed for the Xbox classic CANNOT run natively on the Xbox 360. Period. That is why Microsoft's Xbox team has to build a custom container (the emulator) for each title, test it, and then make it available for download via Xbox Live. Now, when you stick your original Xbox game disc to your 360, the 360 runs a check on Live to see if the emulator has been made available, and if the emulator needs an update. This on a title-by-title basis. Read that again. It is on a title-by-title basis.
More info for you to read on regarding backward compatibility and the Xbox 360.

is that not what i said? People arent going to be installing emulators on there 360s. So put it in, if it plays, it plays. If it doesnt, it doesnt. So far every old Xbox game ive put in, has worked. Never botherd lookin at the list.

Actually, it does install the emulater. It only takes like 5 seconds and isnt a big deal. It did it when I put in the Ninja Gaiden game.
