I meant dvd drive, that was a translation error (somehow, not sure how i translated it to be hard drive instead of dvd drive)

Its the laser thats broken, to be specific. Id need to replace the laser and be extremely carefull with it so its not completely off center, which im not sure if i can do that, or i need to replace the entire dvd drive.

Id still need the thing flashed, and if im not mistaken, my drive is a hitachi, and ive heard those arent as good, so i thought replacing it might be a good idea

Drive spoofing isn't possible on LT 3 anymore.
It's better to replace the laser assembly and regrease the gears.

Installing games to the HDD saves the DVD drive from a lot of wear and tear.

Im gonna guess that you wont replace the laser for me then...

(If you would, that would be really helpfull, i have a knack for breaking things like this at the last possible moment when repairing stuff (my 3ds, 2 iphone 5, propably more stuff that i forgot about))

I'm more concerned about the total costs.
Anyway, if it's a phatty 360, then replacing the drive with an entirely new one (like this one) is also an option.
I only need to extract the DVD keys from the old drive and flash them to the new drive then.

Ok, how about this: i send you the disk drive and some money, and you send me back a disk drive, and i expect it to be working and flashed. What happens between it leaving and coming back, i dont entirely care about. Sound good? Cause i cant replace the laser myself, and i cant put the keys on another diskdrive by myself.

Only works on Phat and early Slim.
360 E needs to be RGH'd, at which point it makes more sense to keep the RGH, invest in a Dual NAND and ODDE or simply trade it in and get a Phatty.

What would shipping be like for sending to the USA? Would you be willing if I can afford the shipping?

Flashing and extracting the key. I found out about x360usb pro v2, so, although expensive, I might be able to

Do you also hack Xbox 360 E's (released in 2015)?

Nope.
They can't be flashed and having it send to me to get RGH'd to get flashed or Xkey'd.. you're better off keeping it RGH'd or get a second phatty.

man, u have heart of gold to offer such generous service!

nope, i support devs and buy original ones.

Ofcourse you do ;')

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
