    Hardware Xbox One HDD Tools Released

    What this does Given any HDD over 500GB in size, you can format it for use with you Microsoft Xbox One console How Instructions All of this must be done as root! I HIGHLY suggest you do this on a livecd or usb booted system if you don't 'know linux' and would rather not wipe the wrong...

    Hacking Noob help i've killed my Wii

    I've only got a 1gb pen drive so I'll have to see if I can get a game small enough. The HDD has its own power supply so it shouldn't be an issue. I'm not blaming anything and still think its something I have done but just don't know how or why. Are there any settings in USB loader that would...

    Hacking Noob help i've killed my Wii

    Yes that's what I was trying to do. The HDD was said to be on the ok list with USB loader but didn't work. Next day the disks won't work. Does anyone know if I can try another DVD drive on my Wii to see if it's the drive at fault? A friend has said we can try his but can any drive go on any wii?

    Hacking Noob help i've killed my Wii

    Sorry for the delay, ok i did all the above but sadly it hasn't resolved the issue and the Wii flat refuses to recognise any disk be it genuine or backup. I put the disk in the front flash's and the disk spins up with the little beep as per normal but then spins down. We had a couple power...

    Hacking A legality/ethics question and discussion about disc/download games

    UK law allows 1 backup of any optical media you own legitimately. I don't think it states how you obtain it or how you are not allowed to obtain it.
