I did the same a couple months ago. Mostly played PGR4 and was also thinking about the Fable games the other day.

I have resurrected my 360 and a playing Fable II on it. I also installed Xenia (360 emulator) on my Steam deck so I can play Fable II on the go.

Are you syncing the files between the Xbox <> Steam deck?

Nope, doing a good play through on the 360 and av evil on the deck.

I just hooked up my 360 again too. I’ve been meaning to give it a good cleaning and possibly replace a couple parts if necessary (I have three 360’s) but haven’t had the time. I haven’t really played on it much yet either, just a quick test run with a friend of mine playing 1v1 gun game in Black Ops II. I’m not much for shooter games usually but it was the first split screen game I found and it was actually a lot of fun. I sucked at it though, he destroyed me. Oh well, good thing I’m not competitive at all.

I need to clean, or possibly replace, the optical drive in mine. It is a frankensystem to start. I got a friend’s old 360 with a dead optical drive since we only played castle crashers at the time, then I got a 360 with a RROD from Freecycle and put the optical drive from that into mine.

A bad optical drive is what happened to my first 360. It failed in 2014 so I just upgraded to an Xbox One instead at the time, which I had planned on doing anyway. That Xbox One bricked eventually and I replaced it with an Xbox One S which then also eventually died in around 2021 or 2022 I think, at which point I switched to PC gaming. Once I switched though I wanted to play my old 360 games still so I picked up a 360 from eBay and my wife (gf at the time) wanted one too so I got her one as well for her place. Now we live together and I have three 360’s, one with a bad optical drive and two that work fine (one of them sometimes crashes but it’s infrequent) so I want to Frankenstein my first 360 into working well again (it’s the R2D2 360 which is objectively cooler than the two black 360’s I’ve got and also matches better with my PS5 I bought with a work bonus a couple years ago that’s mostly just a 4K blu-ray player at this point).
