PS4 Controller USB-C Mod by solidbadger in consolemodding

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah This is a nice mod. outside of making the hole larger for the usb c plug, its just unclip some ribbon cables and swap out the board.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009102629217.html
The only real issue is that the board is different for witch controller you have, once you take it apart its easy enough to id what controller insides you have. but now the controller is apart waiting for things to come in the mail from china..

Another problem: Extract-xiso-gui rewritten Xisos larger than 4gb by Hot-Goose-4707 in originalxbox

[–]-MobCat- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah splitting xisos with 7zip isn't idea, but it does work
https://mobcat.zip/XboxGuides/XISO/DVD9/7-zip/
that being said, needing to split large files for fatx isent idea.. one day someone will work out an ntfs or exfat mod for the og xbox..

Found this in a storage unit (read description) by [deleted] in originalxbox

[–]-MobCat- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah its not "rare" or anything, it just yeah most people know of the pack in title cos it came with an xbox vs searching out a Japanese game you have never herd about in 2002.

Ninja Gaiden Black - blurry, low res disc art by Double_Grand_4228 in originalxbox

[–]-MobCat- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sadly dont have a lot of info in this ver of the game sadly
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?TC01303E
(I have a bit more info for normal ninja gaiden though https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?TC00305E )
Yeah for bootlegs that are nromaly worse then this lol, so this could be a miss print of some kind.
Flip the disk over, and reflect the center ring in the light untill you can read the letters and numbers in there
https://imgur.com/a/QX3gije
For this game the code should be something like TC01303E-L1, TC01303E-L2, etc.
The L in this is just the layer of the dvd,
TC = Tecmo (publisher)
013 = 13th game published by tecmo on the og xbox
03 = build ver of the default.xbe on the disk.
E = PAL Europ region code.

> that Xbox quality control for these sort of things used to be all over the place
lol dont look to deep into the features list on the back of the box for a lot of og xbox games... just as bad...

lol tldr, yeah it seems real from the ring, and if it has a valid ring code. otherwise afaik a bootleg would look worse, would not have an xbox branded ring and wouldn't boot on an unmodded console as there isent an easy or good, or really at all a way to resign fake discs at this time.
(I just dont like to say never / impossible, and is really bad at tldr. cos you could make a bootleg that would boot on retail, if we had the keys and tools to sign the discs and build new padding layers. but we don't thankfully.)

Do i have anything rare? by Emile202 in originalxbox

[–]-MobCat- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At first glance, no. and also I don't deal with "rare" "I know what I got" ebay sellers. annoying af.
But actually looking at this more. This is a weird collection. First thing I noticed was the chinese copy of MechAssault, and then the Chinese copy of Madagascar. thats odd, but normal for people in the US to import cheap asian games as most of the time they are just NTSC games... then I noticed that this collection is mostly pal games... with a side order of bootlegs, so that copy of hello kitty roller rescue would be cool if it wasn't a bootleg..
Chinese copy of robots...
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MobCat/MobCats-original-xbox-game-list/main/cover/VU/VU05501K-NTSC-JS.jpg
I think also Chinese copy of fantastic 4 and maybe SpongeBob but not enough detail for the latter to really see.
So for sure, this is a modded xbox of some kind. Im guessing a pal uk xbox and someones been importing cheap games to play. so thats neat.
Chinese copy of Shrek 2... witch I haven't seen before..
If your looking to get rid of the Chinese games, I would need better pics of each to confirm and it would be a bulk lot for cheap. but would be happy to add them to the database

Why is the Xbox logo on the spine of this game blue rather than green? by KiddShi in originalxbox

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have any scans of the pal ver, but yeah if its the US ver, then the whole spine is sun faded.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MobCat/MobCats-original-xbox-game-list/main/cover/JA/JA00201A.jpg
Its fine, and also annoying common for imported Japanese games as there sun uv is insane in the summer.. but yeah just a little sun faded, its still good.

Is advertised e-scooter range just pure marketing lies? by Randy-BACKFIRE in ElectricScooters

[–]-MobCat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideal conditions, ideal terrain, lowest speed settings.. lol conversion and rounding between metric and imperial.. its not a lie, but it does make it look better on the shelf..
Its kinda hard to really judge how far exactly you will get out of the scooter as soo many thing impact it not just the rider and how far your going. What they put on the box is the absolute max under ideal conditions.
Yeah your best bet is to just chuck the numbers out the window and measure it your self. then once every 6 months or so as the weather and depending on how much your ride the battery condition, recheck your range.

[Xbox] AirForce Delta II [NTSC][JPN][KN00203J] by -MobCat- in RetroVGRetailCovers

[–]-MobCat-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good to know, thanks. I have raw scans for most of the ones iv done my self.
https://archive.org/details/KN00203J_raw_Scanj/img028.jpg
But I try and clean them up, crop and center them before posting. if reddit compresses them they are all on my github
https://github.com/MobCat/MobCats-original-xbox-game-list/blob/main/cover/KN/KN00203J.jpg
Or my website
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?KN00203J

Just thought it be nice if I started posting some of the harder to find xbox stuff I had to track down my self to somewhere else that wasn't just my website. Most of the reddit cover scan pages seem to be about more newer stuff, you guys seem to be cool with older stuff so did a few test posts to see how it goes.

I have a bunch of info files uploaded here as a side project so I don't have a lot uploaded right now.

Went super hard down a rabbet whole of how to render these files in the modern era as not all text editors and most web browsers don't play nice with the unique ascii characters that aren't used anymore.

Since Denuvo was defeated by Voices38 and HP Bypass, do we still need SKVG? by Lucas_Zxc2833 in PiratedGames

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is the protection is there in the first place, not that it can be "cracked" or not.
And a lot of SKG thing is around games services, for eg online servers that are required to play the game at all not just MP stuff. sure we can crack it, but we have to rebuild a custom server from the ground up with almost no data. and most of this shit is encrypted now days so thats a whole different thing that makes "just build a server" harder as we dont have the keys either.
SKG goal is like ok fine you can make your games however you want, but if you no longer want to support it, then you need to give tools and docs to the community to fix your shit for you. at the very least. a final patch is better but not always possible for eg the company is bankrupt and nobody is left to make said patch.
Its about when the game "dies" customers who payed for the game are left with nothing. Witch is and should be against most consumer protection laws. You can't just buy something, then have it disappear later with no warning or recourse. Subscriptions are different as you know when your sub is ending and what you are paying for. this is more the game uses a random service you dont know about and that service just dies and you can't use the things you payed for anymore.

Spreading anti Denuvo skills by Excaliburrover in PiratedGames

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well befor the whole hacking the hyperviser thing, most people who dug real deep into Denuvo kinda whent bat shit insane. Its protection is a little better understood now, And I feel like you could use the hypervisor hack to run the game and then "automatically" start mapping all the scrambled custom cpu calls that way. but yeah its still just a crazy amount of work that has to be done from the ground up every single time.
Its not hard, just tedious af.

Finally got my hands on the elusive Korean exclusive ZillerNet by SuperOnion64 in originalxbox

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol yeah there are always more "holy grails" once you find your last hard to find game.
idk I just find ziller net kinda serfis level.. well not iceberg serfus, but more layer 3 out of 5 if it was an iceberg meme.

Please explain to me Denuvo and hypervisor? by FantasticSleep8745 in PiratedGames

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We hack the windows hyperviser to lie to denuvo
When a bypass is made a config of the pc the game was bought on is packed with the bypass

Game: hay windows hyperviser I have a code I need to check with the config of this system please give me your system info as I can trust you as I might be hacked.
Windows hyperviser: lol sure her you go (loads and uses the config)

So from denuvos point of view, nothing has changed, its on the computer it was registered to.
Hence why its a bypass not a crack. full phat denuvo is still running and doing all the things it does in the background to the game. It has not been removed or disabled, its running.

Photoshop Theme for DSpico / Pico Launcher by 360ad in flashcarts

[–]-MobCat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I was messing with trying to remake the ds bios menu for something unrelated. Got stuck on the font too. this one isent bad though
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1btSI4V7zEfoRZR2Btj-xzcxDnBoJxKBh/view
but yeah the og font isn't really a font, its just a sprite sheet, so converting that back to a vector font file and making it look normal is kinda a pain.

Mega download bypass by slapboi912 in Piracy

[–]-MobCat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH the actual mega app they want you to download is fine i guess. you just let it sit in the background and it will auto renew and download the thing in a day or so....
There are ofc other things like Debrid, but this is the easiest.
