    denballs is a little hmm...abrasive...at the best of times :) Without calling in the reinforcements, we can't talk about backing up or ripping games, whether you own the originals or not.

    Suffice to say that a reset glitch hack makes a DVD drive completely obsolete. While I don't like taking my DVD drive out and replacing it with a 3.5" hard drive for aesthetic reasons, I cannot remember the last time I read a CD in the thing.

    fair enough......but i was talking about flashing not RGH....do i need this 3.5 if ive flashed or are you saying its for those who,v RGH theres?

    Im gonna have to google all day i guess...dropping the search to stuff in the last month :{

    So I try googling.....all I get are BS adds for fake software and outdated tutorials from 2008-2010:mad:

    Wow this Is what I get for helping you, our basically sayin I'm bullsh****n. If you are going to ask for help or you get help then take the help and don't start posting stuff like that and just to tell you I joined this forum about a month ago and realised how nice these people were and as jimbob said below they do have a lot of knowledge and they do all help. I'm not snappin at you but just be nice

    He never said you were bullsh1tting, he simply asked for a second opinion, lets not turn this into a witch hunt.

    Denballs, you be knowing that's the end of the road as far as boards.ie is concerned. You can get flashing advice/tips & tutorials here, but that's strictly where it ends.

    well your not helpfull asking me this then giving me the cheeky/unhelpful answer that yeh im right and cant talk about it

    and if you knew me from other sections...you,d be amazed at how much im holding my language...when you intentionally attempt to aggravate me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    What's actually going on here? Why all the bickering?

    Denballs, are you satisfied regards the advice you've been given up & as far as burning? I can see your making an effort to be civil & I appreciate that. We can't follow on with burning advice, as you know.

    Lads, not that this thread has a topic to stick to, but can we all be nice again? It's very rare when bickering breaks out in here & I hate when it does because generally we're all here to help each other.

    Lets get denballs sorted as best we can without breaking the charter, that's all we can do :)

    Edit - Oh & good language is mandatory


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 837 ✭✭✭denballs


    I understand the rules and agree/will abide with them.

    I Dont want to argue, that was most likely just a simple misunderstanding.

    I am very happy with all the advice, you are all very helpful and knowlegable especially yourself enter..and TV..

    BTW..just swapped the xbox for a 40gb ps3...:)

    Looks like TX bankrolling the RGH Development team has paid off:

    They've got all the phat consoles, including Xenon, right up to the latest dash. The Xenon is about as solid as the Zephyr (not very solid glitchwise), but it's better than nothing, especially for my banned Xenon which I'm going to pwn!

    They've also managed to get the RGH working on the Trinity Slims, right up to the latest dash.

    And finally, they've made some major headway with Corona

    How have they managed to glitch the xenon/corona? Any technical details as to how they achieved this? Great news I've got a pile of xenons just waiting to be glitched :D


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 837 ✭✭✭denballs


    My ps3,s a 3.72...so i guess imma need to wait a while for someone alot smarter then me to make cfw for that.

    I could get the E3 flasher but not really bothered right now......just gonna enjoy the ps3 only games...online...for now.....if anyone heres of a 3.72 cfw though..please pm me.....ill keep checking every few days but.....in case i miss anything

    The Xenon only needed a little work, after the glitch it was too unstable when bringing back the core to full clock. I guess they fixed that issue.

    They're called in RGH 2.0 as it's going to require new boards. You can modify old coolrunner boards for 2.0 as well, whenever those details get revealed (phew, I still have 12 coolrunners here :D)

    I wouldn't hold your breath. The PS3 is far better on OFW these days as you can play the latest games & have PSN SEN. CFW is stuck for the most part at 3.55 with no online useage.

    Good news re the 360 developments, some serious talent there

    considering what you get for your money its better value than flashing a drive

    yeah but given that much hardware work.....is,nt it likely that the console wont last long......maybe the slims might but pre 2009......i doubt they could handle it....not that i know much...but i know how much xbox,s RR

    If its Jasper then you are fine. the rest will also fine with proper cooling mods


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33,733 ✭✭✭✭Myrddin


    Modded consoles actually run better/cooler than their stock counterparts due to the added control you have over the cooling system & fan speeds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    It's a big risk, I can't confirm that running a dashboard update will update the CB. At the minute there's a chance I might get the JTAG to work because the dash is lower than 8955, but if I update and it doesn't update the CB then I'm left with a console I can no longer JTAG for definite and can't glitch....

    If I could confirm what CB I'll end up with if I updated to 13604 then happy days, I'd do that.

    Over the weekend I went back to this troublesome JTAG.

    I tried transistors, both blackaddr and boxxdr wiring methods. I tried alt points for everything that has an alt point. I tried the Nand-X JTAG QSB which uses the ROL (ARGON_DATA) for TDI. I tried the same thing only without the QSB using my own diodes. I tried the reverse JTAG wiring using a resisted jumper wire. I tried building my own Xellous files rather than using pre-built ones to make sure it wasn't an SMC issue. Xellous/freeBOOT would never work, but returning it to stock always worked. Even though J2D2 multi-metered the correct voltages, and even though Xell booted once before during which Witnessmenow got the CPU Key, I came to the conclusion that the GPU JTAG must be dead and so JTAG'ing was never going to work again.

    So I restored to stock, took off the efuse protection and killed the JTAG completely by updating the dash. Updating to a known-to-update-CB dashboard like 2.0.14719.0 would mean I couldn't glitch it until RGH 2.0 comes out, so I chose to see if any other dash along the way updated the CB too. I started with 2.0.12611.0 since it was the earliest dash I have a MS update for (so the console went from 7371 to 12611) and I can confirm that the CB was updated to a glitchable 6750.

    I've now got the Jasper glitching here first time every time. Sure, the JTAG is a more reliable unsigned coder runner that doesn't have a variable boot time ..but when all else fails, I'm delighted we've got the glitch as another option :p

    Just picked up a new 250GB Slim Xbox 360 for €200, 10.83a power rating on the back and 12625 dashboard happy days :D

    Quick question,
    What would you all value a slim RGH console at ?
    It has the kamikaze hack carried out and the dvd drive on the latest firmware,
    Comes with all cables and a controller and a 60gb hdd ?

    Just curious so Im hitting the right price and not overvaluing.
    Its not like the old jtag days anymore where anything goes in regard to price :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭Reamer Fanny


    How much did you pay for it brand new? I would probably value it at €280 I would usually like to include higher capacity hard drives when I'm selling makes more room for profit :D

    bought it for €85 with the dvd drive included :)
    it was a failed RGH console that I fixed up

    Nice, I have a virgin Slim here and I'm undecided on making it a dual nand or RGH

    Ya I was considering installing a matrix trident in the slim I have,
    but the sale price would be higher and I don't know if I could sell it at the higher price.
    Did you sell or keep your other slim that you did the dual nand mod to ?

    Your right it would be a hard sell but well worth it.

    I have kept the dual nand Slim for my own personal use, but picked up an exploitable Slim in Harvey Norman a couple of weeks ago.

    How much would you pay for a brand new dual nand Slim with 250GB internal hard drive and 640GB 3.5" external hard drive?


  • Registered Users Posts: 214 ✭✭scottp68877

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭Reamer Fanny


    Not much to a Liverpool fan ;) probably €150 the value of JTAGs has gone way down in price since the RGH on the Slim, people tend to buy the newer hardware.

    Guess I won't be selling that so. I tought jtags were after going up cause of them gettin rarer oh well :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,584 ✭✭✭TouchingVirus


    Any price would be hampered by the fact it's a Falcon, but perhaps €220

    So I'm currently struck down with one of these 'ol flu things that had me sleep all day so now I'm awake at stupid o'clock...

    After finding my original copies of FFVI-FFX at the weekend I got a bit of interest renewed in my PS2. I moved a Modbo 4.0 (Infinity Matrix clone) over from an NTSC v3 to a PAL v7 there about three weeks ago but it didn't work so good; the console wouldn't read any disc anymore.

    I lifted all the wires and it would read original discs so I decided I'd go for one more attempt at a hard-mod before resorting to the easy way out (a softmod). Sure enough, re-wired it up and it works a charm now, NTSC and PAL games work a treat :)

    Anyway, my eyes are burning out of my head now so I'm gonna tip off to bed, just thought I'd throw down the random thought above. Also, wish I could get about a month off to plough through a few of the FF games :P

    Not at all, running your library off of a HDD will preserve the already rubbish lasers present in the PS2. You wouldn't be able to run them via hdd without the modchip, or a softmod exploit :)

    The modchip essentially allows you to run copied discs as we all know, but if you have a few games you play very regularly, it'd be worth dumping them onto the hdd to save the laser.
