Don’t expect original Xbox games on Xbox One to feature Achievements or widescreen support on your fancy new HD TV, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer has specified.
Microsoft will be tweaking game code to ensure it can be played on the Xbox One, but that’s about it.
No, most OGXbox games didn't have WS. Can't really easily change the frame buffer aspect ratio on a shipped game from BC.

We run the OG code, so the game will support what the original game supported.

Achievements are also off the cards.
Only real option is to patch each game, won't happen. Could give achvmnt 4 "playing", don't really like that
