How did they pretend to have used blu Ray?See one of my problems was they tried to pretend like they used blu ray but were stuck with dvd media... At least nintendo knew how to stuff so much into 8.7 or 4.4 gigs of space with Wii...

Exactly this.... Absolutely on the moneyall 360 games are dual layer, so they can be quite big. if you have an rgh or a jtag, the system will swap discs for you without having to get up. just name disc 1, disc 2 etc in a folder named after the game like this: View attachment 214806
just leave disc 1, hide all other discs, then let the system swap for you. you can even try and trick it, and it will still load the right disc. much better than wasting all this time with stupid mandatory installs. should've just made it all digital if that's the case.
I bought an Xbox 360 with XK3Y already installed from my neighbor; you will need to retrieve your drive's key with your x360usbpro. If that is the easiest method. I have also seen serial port dumping devices, but that was more in the early days of 360. I believe most laptop and probably even desktop don't have serial ports any more. My advice would be to read, read, read about Xk3y. Everything from the way the cables are set up to setting up your USB drives, to actually installing and using JungleFlasher software. I am by no means an expert with this, but mine works and it is quite useful for Xbox 360 games. Also, I believe one could play original Xbox isos from xKey, and also watch DVD isos, too. If those float your boat.Just looked into the xk3y. I have a phat xenon with a hitachi47 drive. I think this is my best option (aside from trashing this console for a slim). It seems I’ll also need the x360usbpro. Pretty sure that’ll be all I need. Is this right? I have only a laptop, so a via pci sata card isn’t an option for me. I was thinking about flashing the drive only, but I’ll need the x360usbpro for that too. Xk3y is the best for me?
My boat is floating. I have some old working laptops with serial ports. I’ll look into that option as well.

lol catching up by installing SSDs a decade after they were madelol catching up by taking options away from you
makes sense
PS3 was superior to the 360 because of the Blu-Ray... not sure what was Microsoft thinking back in the day not to do Blu-Ray aswell
Actually, the PS3 BD was slower than the 360 DVD drive, AND it fucked them in not being able to fully install games across all of the skus, so they never had a full install option across the board.PS3 was superior to the 360 because of the Blu-Ray... not sure what was Microsoft thinking back in the day not to do Blu-Ray aswell
Putting their games in a green box screams blu-ray.How did they pretend to have used blu Ray?

Just like OP's head.Iirc, New Super Mario Bros Wii only has ~250 MB of data, the rest of the 4 odd gigs on the disc are just fake zeroes.
...I'm just giggling at the 'disgusting' part of it: OP obviously never had Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga (although there are even better examples) - 14 floppy disks of gaming goodness*
EDIT - I could be wrong with the number! Monkey Island 1 was 4...... definitely over 10 anyway, but you get my point (although I've probably ruined it now!)
Blue Dragon was four discs, too. I think that was the reason I never bought it.As does Lost Odyssey
Oh yes! I love playing excitebike on my 4K UHD IPS display with 5.1 surround sound.Games should be a few kilobytes like the old days, all these fancy textures and sounds are unnecessary!!
