i got tired of waiting for DX to send me a replacement USB SPI Flasher for a defect one i got a while back with a RGH chip and made a LPT cable from some spare harvested diodes and resistors.
it works fine so far on a old PC i had with a fresh XP install, (still dumping an hour in) my main question is can i just dump the first 64 megs of the nand as i have read in some places or should i just wait the 9 hours it'll take to dump the nand each time?

If it's taking that long to dump your NAND, you should probably invest in getting that replacement of yours.. Also, you should dump everything, as there may be some bad blocks in the first 64 megs of the NAND, and the 360 would have remapped them to one of the spare blocks..

i honestly don't know how long it will take, and i'm patient enough to wait out however long it'll take to dump it twice if it is nessasary, i'll get a new usb nand dumper in the future but ATM money is to tight so i'm working with what i have at disposal.

Dude, it would take under half an hour to dump your NAND if you were using USB..

It will take over 24 hours just to dump the nand once

Yes you can dump the first 64 megs of the NAND.

HOWEVER this is incredibly slow on LPT, and since you have to dump it at least twice to compare NAND's, I'd suggest you wait untill you have your USB SPI flasher.

Agreed, except for the first bit... You're going to want to dump the full image, not just the first 64 megs. I guess it'd be fine if you didn't have any badblocks though.

With a USB SPI, yes then you'll want to dump the full 512.
Otherwise the first 64 is good enough.

Seen a lot of BB jaspers being dumped at 64 and they all turned out to be great jTAG's / RGH's

    alright
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    charger came, now to install linux onto one of my old computers

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    hmm, anything I should prepare for?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Kirbydogs, what distro are you going with, and what's your comfort level with Linux systems as it stands right now
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    @Sicklyboy Ubuntu Cinnamon, because I heard it
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    ack darn enter key
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I heard it's pretty good, installed it on my VM last night and was pretty good
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    never used Linux before, thought it'd be nice
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    many people say Cinnamon was better than Linux Mint
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Nice. I'm not that familiar with Ubuntu derivatives these days, I tend to use plain Debian as well as Arch. Tip I would suggest during install, if it gives you the option, some installers offer to put your /home directory on a separate partition, it's simpler (IMO)
    if you just keep it in the rest of your data partition. No harm either way though

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Beyond that (and especially since I'm not familiar with Ubuntu derivatives) just google, google, google if you're unsure about something :) the Arch Linux wiki, while not directly applicable, is IMO still one of the best resources for learning about how specific utilities work or for some general troubleshooting steps that could be abstracted to other distros

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I just switched from Windows 10 to Arch Linux on my desktop PC about a month ago, I've been using Linux systems casually for about 15 years but never actually committed to the switch for my daily driver desktop OS. It's had a bit of a learning curve, especially since Arch is kind of "hard mode" lol, but it's worked very well so far and I'm really liking it over Windows. Never going back to Windows lol

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If you really want to get into the sticks with my setup, my desktop pc is actually technically running Proxmox, a Debian-based VM hypervisor suite, and my Arch desktop OS is actually running as a VM on it with hardware passthrough for my GPU and a bunch of other shit. So an extra layer of complexity there hahaha

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Learning curve for sure, but definitely worth it!
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I like Windows, because it's old and has a lot of stuff. Plus I'm familiar with it, and I don't think I'll be switching to Linux any time soon.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's why I stuck with it for so long. I just don't like Windows 11 and had no plans to ever upgrade to it, and my time on Windows 10 is running out until it goes EOL lol

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I've got applications to make Windows look 10x the more better.
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I thought it would be interesting to use Linux on an actual computer lol

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    now, let's see if it's charged enough to boot up
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    and what it looks like
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    tbh I haven't even used this thing in YEARS- most likely 2022/2023
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    nope, nothin' yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh here's an actual tip, if you're not aware, if you use Steam make sure you go into settings, compatibility, and "enable steam play for all other titles". Then you can run Windows native games under Proton
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    wow 0_0
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I've got to look into that once I install it!
