    Power supplies - looking for resources, documentation, schematics. mod ideas etc

    Every computer power supply I've ever looked at besides laptops use class 1 grounded power supplies, whether atx or the older at standards. I wouldn't use a 360's brick for a computer. Using a computer supply for a 360 on the other hand seems like a good idea for clean reliable power. The 213W...

    Power supplies - looking for resources, documentation, schematics. mod ideas etc

    I think I do remember reading about a "side car" when first reading about the 213W supplies. Can't say anything else about it other than that I'd assume it consumes up to 10W @ 5VDC. I 'd be surprised to see a linear voltage regulator on a device with that much power so recent. It is an option...

    Power supplies - looking for resources, documentation, schematics. mod ideas etc

    Yes, rare, but a grounded 213W power supply was a small run thing, for some kind of dev kit or something like that I read. It has the same 16.5A rating on the 12V rail as the 203W supply has, but 3x the rating for the 5V rail at 3A instead of 1A. Made to power quite a bit more 5v something or...

    Power supplies - looking for resources, documentation, schematics. mod ideas etc

    I'm going through a power supply (150W) and would like to be able to compare the models, I've found a schematic for a 175W model, but have been unable to find one for my 150W or for the 203W model. It would be nice to see what they work with as I consider possible upgrade to filter capacitors in...

    My project, a gamestop modded Jasper 360

    I finally got back to this. Thanks for everybody's help so far. I flashed the drive awhile back, I did it with a switch and a grounded wire to MPX01. it all seems to work XGD2 and XGD3 problems on a couple games. I have yet to try cleaning the laser, giving it a better overall cleaning and...

    My project, a gamestop modded Jasper 360

    I guess Ill pull the board out and have a closer look. This is my first rodeo here, so I don't know what a stock one looks like. (I'll search for images or videos.) When I look through the eight holes in the sheet metal. I'm not sure what I see, but they're not threads, and they're not bolts. It...

    My project, a gamestop modded Jasper 360

    Hello, I'm working on a Jasper 360 that was serviced by Gamestop, apparently in 2015. I just opened up this unit to flash it's disc drive. My first question is to people's consensus on this fan mod, particularly as far as Jaspers go. Obviously it's done to keep the temperature down. I know...

    Hacking [Guide] How To Hack Your 360

    A lot of valuable information here for anyone interested. Many thanks. Two questions come to mind though. Why isn't this page linked to from the tutorials page? Writing on XGD3 discs, you mention a need for an iHas drive. Any reason to not use BurnerMax if it works?

    I'm not sure what dictates it, and it's probably hackable, but stock IMGBurn will not allow it. "I 23:13:21 Destination Media Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x" If I try to set it lower, it will say speed mis-compare, or something like that and automatically bump it up to 4x and start burning...

    Burning 360 and original Xbox games

    I've burnt a few. KOF XII was my first objective. I'm 99% sure they're ok. I'll try patching one with the Backup Creator program. I think I may have trouble because based on my loose understanding of it, only agbx v1.07 automatically fetches some type of stealth padding info ( SS, DMI, PFI )...

    Burning 360 and original Xbox games

    Ok, so maybe I'll try it anyways, but if it uses IMGBurn anyways, unless it does something better than abgx I don't guess it would make a difference. For live access. Of course if I screw up and get caught and banned, that will be the backup plan. I do usually use the slowest speeds. This...

    I'm not currently. I've been using abgx and imgburn. I could try it for the burning end, patching too if it's equipped and up to date, but I don't think it will make any difference since it's only alerting about the layer break, which is in the right spot. And verifies as such in v1.06. The...

    Except the errors in yellow at the beginning about the layerbreak: Error reading Layer Boundary Information (NO ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION) Layerbreak: Unknown But it's hard for me to understand how it could pass if it was a problem. Is it possible that some other info would be required to...

    Burning 360 and original Xbox games

    That's pretty much what I thought. Luckily it seems a lot of discs released only in certain regions (KOF XII) are still region free. I know it'll show up red in abgx if it's region locked to a region other than your console, but if someone were to overlook it, and tried to play it with a flashed...

    That scares me a bit as far as getting banned. How would MS not ban you for that, unless your're vpn proxied or whatever. Still isn't the console supposed to be one region or the other?

    It says: Error reading Layer Boundary Information (NO ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION) Layerbreak: Unknown I'm pretty sure the layerbreak is right, because agbx prepared the image, I burned it using it's generated .dvd file, and there's entries in IMGBurns log reading: I 15:07:12 Writing Layer 0...

    I don't know about ntsc or pal, but I was glad to see that KOF XII, which seems to have only had a disc release in Japan and Europe, scanned as region free with AGBX. I'll see if this one gives the yellow notices about the layerbreak, then I'll get more details before I close it.

    I'm not even sure which type of disc this is. I did have abgx go through the image with the tutorial recommended setting successfully, and ran it again, with all green. I burnt it. IMGBurn verified it. I ran the disc itself through abgx, and it game me those two yellow notices about the layer...
