That is why I also want PS3. XBOX 360 is a classic and a great example of what console should be. But certain PS3 exclusives make it worth to get sony’s console. GOW series, Kingdom Hearts series, MotorStorm, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, The Last of Us (I know it got out to PC and newer consoles, but back then it was locked in) and some I cant recall right now but know they are there - bunch of great games I would love to play too.

Feels that in order to have peace, I need to get the infinity stones consoles. I badly want PS2 but afaik PS3 has backwards compitability with PS2 and PS1 so that covers my needs. Wii - it just is an epic console with completely different taste to it.

Thanks! This was not so difficult. There are so many options on programmers and I am lucky as hell for getting Trinity - the most easiest one to hack with RGH3. The hacking/homebrew community is so huge with this console!

Thanks!

Will certainly do! Thanks!

How rich is stupid rich?

So it fell due to closure of Hormuz or due to growth of solar and wind generation? Title is fucked up

Besides all the mentioned ones, here are few from my side:

Need for Speed - played since 2 SE until Undercover. It is impossible to release the same game each year and the peak was MW’05.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater - some may say American Wasteland was good. I didn’t liked it but it was not as bad as anything after.

CODs - that is a pet peeve of mine. Great game, but it overstayed it’s welcome. OG MW1 and MW2 still hold a special place in my heart.

Battlefield - same as above. BC and BF3 can’t be beat.

World of Warcraft - that is an entirely different game to what it used to be imo.

My model is Trinity. Apparently, the easiest to RGH3 it. My soldering skills are above average. I possess needed tools and components.

I thought to just do ABadAvatar too but I still wanted to disassemble Xbox to change thermal paste and clean dust. So might as well solder 2 wires and a resistor while at it. This console will never be used with ms account anyway so why the hell not to hard hack it? 😅

As far as I know, there is Clone Hero homebrew.

I used to have full rockband set and an jtagged phat console. It was epic!

I also own rocksmith cable with pc version of the game. Hope I can use it with Xbox too.

I think it still requires firmware flasher that costs a hefty sum.

That is what I am up to. Not sure what is the best way to do it yet.

I possess soldering skills so that is no issue.

I been reading and things are confusing for me. Some say that I only need 2 wires to run across the motherboard and run ABadAvatar. But if I read ConsoleMods wiki, it seems that I need a programmer. I have ordered rpi pico for this and will dive into it once I figure out the process.

I have heard servers for xbox TF2 are still there. Man, vanilla release-era classic TF2 gameplay 🤤

A certified, bona fide banger! I am lucky having it in Steam.

I am specifically looking into modding. Is there anything cool I can do with it besides ABadAvatar? I am planning to expand storage to 1TB SSD. Drive also can be flashed but it seems to be super expensive to get flashing tool for that.

Also, if I go ABadAvatar route, is there a way to lock xbox into autobooting directly into Aurora without waiting for ABadAvatar to perform unschackle?

Where I am at right now, 1L of Super E10/95 octane is 2.10euro while Diesel can go as high as 2.29. Outside of the city I have seen 2.29 for Super E10/95 octane.

Not 2.50 yet, and probably will go down since, allegedly, Iran/USA bombing is done for now. But I cant pass over the fact that it got from 1.60 to 2.20 in a span of one month. Fucking happy my car has 1.2L engine.

Personal anecdote, so take it with a grain of salt.

Friend A, very handy and skilled individual, took Thermodynamics in UNI for 2 years, then dropped out. Found job at electronics production facility. Managed to get to a Head Technician position.

Friend B, went to programming 3 years to UNI. Barely managed to finish. Retried math exam multiple times. Though friend A, managed to get a job at the same place as a lower tier machinery operator. Got promoted to technician position after 2 years. Now works as web QC for the same guy who is boss of electronic production facility.

Moral of the story: education, finished or not, existing or not, wont get you far unless you are outgoing and have connections. Also, you either have ability to learn new skills or have said skills and know how to use them. Doesn’t matter how you got them.

If my conversion is correct, that would be aprox 1.45euro/L for Reguolar. Super close to prior-to-iran-war prices but would love to see them pay 2.50.

For US netizens, again if I am converting the right way, 2.50eur/L of Regular would be around $11 per gallon.

For the most part you do not need expensive JBC tools or some super expensive testing tools.

If you plan to dive in, start simple with some USB soldering iron, multimeter and some cheap 20V labratory PSU. I found FNIRSI offers a USB-PD soldering iron with JBC tips for under $100 that is comparable to Weller 80W professional soldering station I got at work.

The other part is just trial and error. Try with simple electronics or guides. Get the general idea on how things work. Most of problems are already solved. It is easy to find repair guide for some old gaming tech or how to chip your consoles.

Have fun!

If you did soldering for the first time - your joins are pristine. They are completely fine unless you want to fulfill IPC-A-610 standard.
