I have an old Falcon 360 with a classic JTAG hack. Some time ago it stopped running certain games, freezing at specific points and always at the same place. Most of them have the same problem, hanging during a loading screen before the 'game' itself starts. Some make it past the main menus, while some stop during the initial loading. All of these games have worked in the past, both on disc and loaded onto the hard drive, but now they all consistantly freeze in the exact same place every time, no matter what format I play them on (original disc, burned disc, internal, external, extracted xex files, GOD, etc). In most cases, when I press the Guide button on the 360 controller, I can *hear* the sound of the Guide opening, but it doesn't show on the screen.
Meanwhile, the majority of my games work flawlessly, no issues at all. Since they all *used* to work at some point, I'm fairly certain that I effed something up somewhere along the way, possibly during a dashboard update to the JTAG at some point. My NAND is clean (no bad blocks), and I'm running on Dash 16202 without any overt 'errors'. I've tried running both my original JTAG'd NAND and a recent 'working' backup through the latest version of xeBuild, and each time I've been given an E71 error on boot. Might be related, but kind of it's own problem.
Working Games:
Bioshock Infinite
Lego Marvel Super Heroes
Lego Star Wars
Mortal Kombat
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Rayman Origins
Hanging Games:
Split/Second (hangs on loading after checking DLC, before main menu/opening movie)
Fist of North Star: Ken's Rage (hangs on loading after selecting New Game)
Batman: Arkham Origins (stops at the end of intro cinematic, after main menus)
El Shaddai (gets through disclaimer/engine credits, hangs on initial loading before main menu)
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (hangs during loading after 'new game')
As you can see, it's a pretty decent spread of new/old, publishers, etc. Can't seem to find anything that links them together. I've also tried re-ripping or grabbing new copies of a couple of the non-working games to see if it was a 'bad rip' problem, but so far multiple copies have given the same result. Hoping someone here would be able to help.
Traditionally, I run these games off an external drive (a mini 2TB drive, non-powered) through FSD, but launching through XeXMenu or other options doesn't seem to change anything. Any help or insight would be much appreciated, thanks in advance all.
