I have a RGH Slim 360 and I’ve just been given a slim (same model, same drive) with a flashed DVD drive.

I want to put the flashed DVD drive into my RGH console to have the ultimate hacked console, the question I have is how to I change the DVD key on the new drive?

With phat consoles, had to connect disc drive to PC mobo i/o, probe (RGH can extract dvd keys), extract keys, and flash using jungle flasher... not sure if same or newer developed software.

on a rgh console the dvd drive can read everything. you don't need to do anything on the dvd drive.
It won't read the backup discs I have, it runs retail so I know the drive is fine and I know the backups are fine because they run on the flashed console...

I just tried 3 games that are not on the hard drive from dual layer disk (verbatin) and played (google translate).

Won't magically make it read burned 360/OG Xbox discs if it's not flashed.
You don’t need a flashed DVD drive with an RGH console.
He wants to use it for burned discs. Fair enough in my book.

Rgh 3 console - original DVD player firmware.
How did you get your Homescreen like that? Is it homebrew?

Did we understand that the rgh3 console plays dual layer copies without changing the software on the dvd rom? Is there any objection that it can't be done since I proved it with a video?

Yeah, fair enough, it seems a bit tedious to have to burn discs as opposed to just copying them to the hard drive, each to their own I guess

A friend just gave me about 100 games on discs, so I’d like to play them without copying via my PC

I didn’t know it did, cool that it does!

    Do they work with more colors for that or what?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No way switch supports HDR and people go nuts over those games and for quality wise they don't look that bad

    And most people don't know, but to notice differences between 1080 vs 4k, you must be close to the screen. https://www.howtogeek.com/818835/whats-the-best-tv-viewing-distance/
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I do everything on my PC monitor, I'm as close to the screen as it's possible to get.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    This is why we need 4k on smartphones I want to see the dick pulse
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's wild 4k was invented in 2006 kids are gonna grow up never experiencing 1080
  • Veho @ Veho:
    So basically, software and console side, HDR means the brightness level now goes from "0" to "2" where "1" is the brightest that older monitors could go.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    And SDR just goes from 0 to 1.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Upscaling is just as good as HDR imo
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Alot of cheap TVs HDR is just upscaling
  • Veho @ Veho:
    HDR is about color and brightness, not resolution.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yes and TVs have software that can make it look just as good
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Upscaling to 4k just copies and adds pixels next to existing pixel to make the image bigger. Sometimes upscalling makes the image look worse even. blurry.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It depends on the amount of nits per TV
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you get a 250nit TV with HDR the 400nit TV is going to look better without HDR
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Upscaling sometimes resamples images. It's just just a "closest neighbour and then some" duplicating, you have directional gradients, multidirectional gradients, all sortsa bullshit.
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nits is brightness
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah and a dull bright display is going to look like shit Compared to a brighter that's the pointin LED brightness
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But that has nothing to do w upscaling
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It does because if you have those features and a dull display what's the point
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Hence some cheap display claim to have HDR but it's just upscaling
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Hdr is the color spectrum tho, not resolution
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    And if you got a dimm ass display what's the point of having any fancy name option
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nitts have nothing to do with resolutions
