    I am in the same situation as others. I got my Xbox flashed about a year and a half ago in cork. I dont have contact with the friend who knew the guy anymore. Anyone know of anybody in cork or surrounding counties who updates the firmware?

    Im just wondering could my modded xbox video card be updated? Im having issues with the frame rate of some video files and would also like to play HD video files.

    I have a PS3 but its media player works with only a couple of video files, avi only.

    Serious noob questions coming up as i just got a xbox (ps3 convert) :)

    No, it works fine. Ive been on live with a modded box for 3 years. Theres always the chance youll get banned of course.
    why cant i just store all the game isos on a hard drive and boot them from there ?
    You can, but you still need the disk to play. This crack uses a custom firmware to fake the DVD challenge/response to allow the disk to boot.

    Do it yourself, its easy.
    do i definitely need a dual layer disc burner to burn xbox games?
    Yes.

    Or else you could get single layer disks and glue them together

    To make backups you need Kreon drive, to burn them almost all burners will do, but if you're buying one get Pioneer 111d or 115d or 116d for no hassle burning ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40 quinnermint


    Just to confirm so any dual layer drive will work??

    Anyone know someone in Sligo who flashes the 360's?? Don't want to have to send it up to dublin:(

    Considering that an O2 dongle is probably not even considered internet in real speed terms I would have a guess and so no mate

    Hello all!
    According to me u should go with emulation, because it will not required soldering or like this etc.. with emulaion u can get full enjoyment while u can't get from another way.
    Emulation is not difficult compare to another way which is refered to u for soldering etc. i think emulation is cheaper and simple way.. just try it ...

    Any place or person that flashes/mods the 360 in dublin? but still will play online?

    Cheers

    You can connect the xbox and pc/laptop together using a crossover network cable. Note: this is different to a regular network cable.
    To set up a home network you will need a router or hub. You don't need broadband to do either of these things as Kev seems to think.
    But you will need to get hold of xbmc That will take a very long time to download using a 3G connection.
    Anyway start reading about things like PC networking, DHCP, TCP/IP, FTP and don't try anything until you understand things a bit better.

    Can anyone flash drives in sligo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 HartySFC


    Would anyone have any idea why my connection seems to be so poor? My ma bought a Netgear Wirelss-N modem and its the business for internet around the house. My xbox was in my bedroom, in the attic, and I obviously didn't expect to have a good connection and I was right. But when I brought it downstairs to the room next to the connection improved but still keeps laggin' and is very frustrating!!

    Just wondering if anyone had the same predicament and fixed it, if they could help. Thanks.

    I'm too afraid to mod my xbox...

    They brake easily on their own...
    It doesn't need my help! :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 NJC Omega


    Just to let everybody know since November Microsoft have been able to detect modded Xbox's and any profile found using a modded Xbox will be banned from Xbox Live and have their gamerscore reset. So I really wouldn't advise it anymore.

    You should try get your xbox Jtagged. Lets you run Emulators like Linux. You can play games of the Hard Drive aswel. The problem is if your on XBL you'll get banned after a few hours.

    I wouldn't try it yourself but Ive seen a good ammount of people doing it up and down the country.

    Just look up jtag xbox on google for more about them
