    Hardware PS3 plays games but not Blu-Rays. Replace drive or laser?

    A friend of mine has a PS3 that supposedly will play games and DVDs fine, but won't play Blu-Rays anymore. Considering that was its main use, he's offered to sell it to me for cheap and I think I'll take him up on the offer. So my question is this: if I do buy his PS3 and attempt to fix it...

    Hardware What's the airflow like in an Xbox 360 Slim?

    I'm going to permanently install an Xbox in my car to be played on my head unit :). I obviously need to secure it so it doesn't rattle and scratch up the discs, so I'm going to build a wooden frame, then pad the inside with foam material so it sits nice and snug. Airflow is my biggest concern...

    Gaming Backup Nintendo 3DS data for transfer to 3DS XL?

    Call me crazy, but I'm getting a Nintendo 3DS XL when it comes out. I always thought the screen on the 3DS was too small for the types of games that they're making for it. It's playable, it'd just be nice if it were bigger at times, like the Vita's. The XL looks like it'll take care of that...

    Hacking Where can I find the default theme images for USB Loader GX?

    I'm using a theme called Darkslazor V5, which gives the loader the nice dark look that I want, but it's missing some images at the top since it's a pretty old theme. I figured if I got a hold of the originals I could just change the colors and put them in myself. I've looked all over their...

    Hacking Is it possible to upgrade M3i without the USB cable?

    I bought an M3i Zero basically the day it came out, and since then I've lost the upgrade cable it came with. I've read somewhere before that you can use the DS to power the card as it upgrades, but so far this hasn't worked for me. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Hacking Is there a way to backup Heavy Rain without losing my save?

    I asked this on Ask GBAtemp, but I didn't get a definitive answer so I'll just ask here. I have my whole library backed up except Heavy Rain because of all the problems I've heard about it. I've read in many places that I have to "delete all pre-jailbreak data" from Heavy Rain before I back it...

    Gaming To install Heavy Rain to an internal drive, do I need to delete my save data?

    I've been trying to read on how to get Heavy Rain installed and working on my internal drive, and I've heard a lot of conflicting things. A lot of people say all pre-jailbreak data from the game needs to be removed. Does that include the game save as well? If it does, is there a way to get...

    Gaming Troubles updating LiteOn to LT+

    I have a LiteOn DVD drive, FW revision 74850C, and I've successfully flashed it with LT. I want to update it now to LT+, but I'm not really understanding the instructions. Is it saying that I can't dump the firmware in the normal way, and that I have to do it via the MRA method (like the newer...

    Gaming Do I have to spoof lite-on to another drive for it to work?

    I bought an Xbox with a broken Hitachi drive intending to replace it with an extra Lite-on drive I had laying around. I figured out when i was flashing it that I couldn't spoof it to Hitachi using the LT firmware, but I figured that it should still work if I flashed it with the right key. When...

    Is it easy to replace a N64 joystick?

    I have 2 N64 controllers and both the joysticks are totally worn out. They don't stand up straight anymore, they just flop around and lay whichever way I put the controller down. How easy is it to replace these, and does anyone have a link to a tutorial? I have some experience soldering, but...

    Gaming Has anyone cracked open a 360 Slim yet?

    I'm just curious if anyone's gotten their hands on one of the DVD drives in this thing. I may upgrade, but I definitely don't want to give up the benefits of having a flashed Xbox. Does anyone know anything?

    PS1/2 Just bought a PS2 Slim on impulse!!

    I thought I'd look and see what the prices of PS2 Slims were on eBay, and I saw one priced really low with 1 minute left. Before I knew what I was doing, I was entering a bid, and I won the Slim . Now I'm a total n00b when it comes to PS2 modding, but I have experience with hardmodding and...

    Hacking Is a Metroid Prime Trilogy channel possible?

    I've made channels for all my favorite games to put on my home screen, all except Metroid Prime Trilogy. I could easily make a channel for it that would launch one game by configuring it to launch an alternate dol, but I play more than 1 game on that disk. Is there any way I could make a...

    Hacking Wii not seeing SD card properly

    I haven't touched my Wii for about 2 months now, but since Galaxy 2 is out I thought I'd get all my stuff updated to play it on my USB Loader. When I turn on my Wii and go to the Homebrew Channel, though, it doesn't recognize anything off my SD card, I just see bubbles. I tried to go into...

    Hacking Has anyone figured out how to dump HG and SS saves?

    I have an M3i Zero and when HG and SS came out it wasn't working well with it. I was impatient, so I went out and bought Soul Silver release day. Now that M3 finally released a firmware update that'll allow it to work, I want to dump the save and finish it on my M3, but the option is grayed...

    Gaming Mass Effect disk 2 verification problem

    I have iXtreme LT, so I have to have Splitvid. The first disk of Mass Effect 2 verified great, but I'm having a lot of issues with the second disk. As you'll see in the verification results, the stealth is uncertain. I'll ask the questions before I post the results. First, is this a bad...

    Gaming Should I play Mass Effect 1 before 2?

    The title says it all. Obviously everyone's been asking this question, and I figured there's no better place to ask than here, where most of you have been playing the game already!! So, should I play Mass Effect 1 and deal with all the graphical glitches, or just plunge into Mass Effect 2...

    Hacking How do I get Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald working on iPlayer?

    I have an iPlayer with the GBA emulator, and I have all the Pokemon games on it along with a few Fire Red hacks. All the hacks and Fire Red and Leaf Green work perfectly on the iPlayer, but when I launch Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald all I get is a white screen. Is there a fix for this?

    PS1/2 Killzone 2 or Resistance 2?

    I'm getting a PS3 this Christmas, and I'm obviously getting some games as well. I'm having a hard time deciding between Resistance 2 and Killzone 2, though, so I figured I'd get some other people's opinions. The campaign modes of both games is really what my decision is based on. I know I'll...

    Hacking DS can't find iPlayer

    I've been trying to get my iPlayer to work for almost an hour, and no DS in my house will recognize it. I've tried it with a 1.4 DSi and also just a regular DS Lite. None of them can find it, they all just say that there's no card inserted. Has anyone else had this, and is there a fix for it?
