I have a Jasper older white model 360 arcade that was rgh'd in the summer and it worked perfectly until today. When I power it on the green light comes on in the middle of the circle but it never shows on the TV and it wont sync with the controller, the circle on the console just shows 4 blank spots with the green in the middle. It was on HDMI I tried a different HDMI chord and a component cable but same results on all. Theres no indication of red ring at all. Please help?

De attach all harddrives from the console and boot it with the Eject button.
If it turns on then there's nothing serious going on.

Also, a bit more info on what your 360 is would be lovely.
Slim/Phat, mobo revision, RGH version, chip version etc.

As I mentioned it's a phat Jasper arcade. All I know is rgh 2 I don't know about the chip.

I tried detaching all hdds and hitting eject it ejects and same thing power shows green in middle of circle can't sync to controller and no signal on tv.

Hmm, it sounds like it can't achieve a a proper glitch then.
Other then disassembling the 360 and checking the debug light (should be a blinking light on the chip which indicates it's trying to glitch) there's nothing much you can do beside trying to flash a freshly hacked NAND or reinstalling the chip again (possibly needing a new chip)

I was afraid of that. I'm going to contact the person who rgh'd the console and see what he can do and the cost. thanks

I probably should have mentioned there was some external damage to the console when I got it back I filed a claim with the post office and got a check for $50 due to it. I thought it only effected the outer case but maybe it effected something else but like I said it worked until today.

Hmm the shell damage wouldn't do anything that negatively affects the interior (DVD drive might be a bit dented)
Unless the person who hacked it has secured his wires thoroughly that is.

Wires could be shifted, chip could be dead (not very likely but possible)
Tho I suspect the first tho, hence reinstalling the chip is a likely candidate for fixing it.

On shifted wires then wasn't there at some points a routing diagram so you avoided noisy components (naturally in straight lines from one point to the other) that might trouble the glitch sequence? As it is just looking at the wires and retaping (maybe hot snot for the really advanced) that might be worth a look. Likewise if it is apart then some photos could help show a cold joint or something.

Guy who RGH'd it is just charging me $10 to reflash it plus return shipping. I thought that was pretty fair, already sent it off.

Well no but I've dealt with him for awhile and trust him and he told me not to pay until it's fixed. He's flashed 2 360s to play burned discs before and I used to get torrent notices so he'd sell me 360 backups and always came through for like 3 years. I bought tons of backups from him.

Well you don't seem to be in America where they're sue happy and I got like 5 notices for torrenting, specifically my ISP are dicks they setup a department just where it was people's jobs to watch torrenting and they're the only one around me. Now I know other sites that aren't torrents but didn't then. Doesn't matter it's in the past the point is I trust the guy.

Private torrent networks, VPNs, Usenet.
All alternative options.

Then again, yeh, I don't live in the states, but it can't be that bad really.
Anyway, it isn't me business either.
All I know is that if he gets caught, he's facing some serious jail time ;')

I hope he'll fix it for you.
Good luck with it!

I'm sure you're aware the Xbox 360 is pretty much dead I doubt he's selling many backups lately, certainly not any to me in the last year or so.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • 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

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

    yes looks like an faulty sd

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