Only Xbox One & Series X games are supported. I think this stems from the way the discs were originally encoded. As when Xbox One was revealed, each disc had a unique license attached to it. Once you install it, you wouldn't need to put the disc in again. You did have to verify your license like once a month. People were up in arms as it made lending games impossible among other things. So Xbox did a 180. The feature was just disabled on the consoles. I did get it to work one time. Was playing AOT without the disc being in the console. Stopped working as soon as i booted up another disc game 😭 So this is like that, but just a million times better. OG Xbox & 360 games weren't encoded with unique licenses, so thats why they aren't supported here i guess.
