Hi, So recently I bought an Xbox 360 Arcade Mfr date: 11-11-07. It has a broken disc drive, as it won't open, and it makes scratchy noises when trying to read a disc. I figure it's straight up busted, and want to order a new drive. Other than ordering a new drive, I want to mod it to play backups (as I already have a 360 with xbl and legit games) and also, this one is an arcade without a hard drive, so I would rather just use it for that. Does anybody know if this..http://www.xboxslave.com/parts.html would be a good place to buy a drive? and if so, would the drive be plug and play, or would I have to "Match the VIN numbers" as in it would reject it because it isn't the original drive? I don't know what drive it is as I can't open up the 360 right now, due to improper tools, but I am pretty sure on the know how of doing it, (I opened up my Halo 3 Edition to try to mod it in '09) And could somebody send me some good tutorials about doing this? Last time it was so confusing with booting into slax and flashing the drive (Which I couldn't even do). Thanks in advance, also, share your 360 modding stories here! EDIT: I see the install links on the Xbox360Slave website xD
Well, you would have to extract the key from the drive and flash the drive that you're replacing it with, with that key and the correct firmware for that drive...
i don't believe he does! what he does have is access to google! take google out of the equation and you'll have an ordinary person or a farmer!
Well excuseeeeeeee me, princess, google just wasn't cutting it, sometimes first-hand experience is better, no? I found all the necessary tools and I know how to replace the drives. I was hoping for somebody to say "Oh yeah, here, don't follow those guides, this is what I did! Also, all that technical BS, here's the simplified version ____"
If you're not going to post something that contributes to the topic at hand, then don't post at all. Especially since all you're doing here is being a douchebag.
Yeah ace may have access to google, but he implements what he learns and does a pretty damn good job at explaining things better than some people. hell I had my wii all fucked up, and yeah I could have looked the shit up myself (which I did) but with aces help it was a lot easier and I again with him helping me with my wii I was able to do a friends wii with no problems. He knows his shit and I have no doubts about it. goddamn I thought you was sorta cool ultra, but that "farmer" comment just pissed me the hell off.
What the fuck's your problem? Yeah, I learn everything from google. So what? You use it to I assume to learn things as well. And without google...or any other search engine...I couldn't even imagine the net. Besides. Farmers are hard working people. In fact. I have quite a few friends and family members that are or were farmers including my dad so lay off my fucking back DAMNIT!
Exactly, google sometimes doesn't help 100%, we need a compiler, and ace does the job. Although we should all calm down a bit, Ultra should gtfo, and we should all just relax xD
Yeah, i'm going to get iXtreme 1.7 for Benq i've ordered the drive already off of ebay, a matching model number of the one I've got, and i've removed the board/key. I know how to hook it to a SATA port, and I have JungleFlasher, I think i'm pretty much all set, no? Also, Ace could you explain waves to me, I understand it's like the bans for all the hacked consoles, which happens in Q4 of the year, and iXtreme 1.6 + supports wave 4, what's wave 4? Thanks
It's a security feature in the 360 games. It new version comes around every few months. Right now it's Wave 6. It's the video sequence on a different partition and variation on the game disc that the firmware will detect. If you try to put a different wave type on there, the 360 will detect this and will send it to the M$ headquarters (if you're playing on live/you hook your 360 into the internet) and ban you. To avoid this, just don't play online or use the other firmware by iXtreme.
No problem! You're one of my favorite superheroes, so it's only natural I'd want to help someone who has given so much to the world! ;D
shows how much I pay attention I didn't even notice he had "batman" in his username, but I did notice the avatar.
