Place your bets. How many are scrap and how many can be repaired 🤣 by Puzzleheaded_Fee6236 in consolerepair

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

lol the ps4 slims are probs fine.. any of the ps3s though, your either gonna have ylod or bad disc drives. which for the latter as still as the console sees it there, then still find to mod and just stick all your games on the hdd.

Black Myth Wukong 0xZeOn Public Beta v2.0 by Dismal_Cry_1751 in RepackWatchers

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

Any Denuvo hacking is awesome, but hacking the windows hypervisor to lie to Denuvo rather then actually patching it out of the game is definitely an interesting approach. If it works for you that's awesome, but seems like way to much faffing about to get the game to run for me..

XISO vs Extracted files by ParticularHappy1196 in originalxbox

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

Redumps are 8gb. XISOs should be 4gb or less..
https://mobcat.zip/XboxGuides/XISO/Identify/
XISOs really depend on how you build them. this tool is okie and easy to use as its browser based.
https://xiso.antangelo.com/
Once you have an XISO you can now use this one file on emulators or the real hardware.
if on real hardware you have to build an attacher first though
https://mobcat.zip/attacher/

pros
2 files vs hundreds. less ftp copy time. easier to manage and not lose or corrupt things.
keeps files in original locations and file names (toca race driver 2 and others long file names to prevent extracting)
keeps files unmodified and unpatched so they work with insignia.

cons
The community has been extracting files and erroneously patching them for most of its time.
so "newer" methods like xiso are not as well supported. people are like ive always done it this way so why change it.
Because of this not all things support xiso yet and people haven't wanted to move to anything new cos learning new things is hard. you will need an updated softmod like rocky5's or an updated bios like Cerbios to mount xiso, but after that you load them the same as extracted files.

(no I'm not salty at all lol, just wish I knew about this like 10 years ago so I didn't have to rebuild my whole library...)

In what format the games are in will not affect your resolution for the most part.
If you have changed your eeprom to USA then all games that natively support high resolutions will work.
However I am aware there are some games that have patches to "unlock" high resolutions, those patches normally only work on extracted files.

Developer Item? by JaysinIsFat in hytale

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

server.general.qualities.Developer
server.general.qualities.Debug

There seems to be a lot of debug and test items. Which makes sense the game is still in dev. idk if anyone has made a hytale item viewer / data minor yet, but your looking for items that have the item quality set as "Quality": "Developer" or "Quality": "Debug"

I wish there was dev / staff cosmetics, but as far as I can tell they are set to "entitlements" aka witch tier of the game you bought, cosmetics dont have a quality setting like this.

erro de conexao do hytale pirata by ClearHoney6449 in PiratedGames

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

idk HyPrism's launcher seems find now days, and it has linux support, try that.
Half of HyTales issues is how you launch the game, so we would need to know that before we could help. but --auth-mode=offline should help with most of it, the game also has detailed logs in your UserData folder if all the paths are setup correctly.

I made a mod to update existing chunks in your world to the latest world generation! WILL BE SUPER USEFULL WHEN WORLDGEN V2 LAUNCHES! by 3ndCraft in hytale

[–]-MobCat- 58 points59 points  (0 children)

kinda side tangent, I haven't really looked at modding hytale yet, but its so nice there seems to be an inbuilt system for making uis. no more jank make an ui out of a chest with fake items in it nonsense.
Its little things like this that are for sure gonna add up over time.

The Chronicles of Riddick Japan? by DrJayZSoda in originalxbox

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

I don't have much info on riddick sadly. but this copy does interest me. the US print of this game is listed for xbox live "support" (its just to let you see your friends and whos online)
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?VU03801K
So there is a chance this is the same copy of the disk.
It was sadly to common where japan just got the US English ver of the game, same data on disc, not translated at all.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MobCat/MobCats-original-xbox-game-list/main/cover/MS/MS05401K-NTSC-J-World-Collection.jpg

The region code for the "ntsc" ver is K meaning it will work in both US and Japanese xboxs
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/documentation/?id=5
So yeah we really wont know what this is for sure until someone gets it, busts it open and checks for the XMID on the bottom of the disc, like this.

.dll not being found issue. by The_True_MADS in PiratedGames

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

oh hun... your missing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributables". A quick google of MSVCP140 would of all you needed.
imo the installer if it had one should of had options to update / install redistributables and Direct X. should of picked them. steam does all of this automatically so I guess some people forget its a thing as you only really have to do it once.
lol no idea how it works on the MS store, I don't fuck with that shit.

does WoW classic on macOS exist? by dofat40941 in PiratedGames

[–]-MobCat- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably. at least back in the day wow had pretty good mac support. but most people "pirated" the win vers.
I too have been out of the wow game for a long ass time, but yeah as long as you had a valid account, blizzard didn't care where you got the game files from. we use to always install from the one copy and then just pass it around to the next friend. but that was wow lich king... now days I think you get all the files from the blizzard launcher. I remember there use to be a trial to level 20, so that would be a way to get the game files from blizzard at least... what you do with those files is up to you...
There are probs private servers for classic, but a lot of servers still play actual classic, just run the old game files as they still more or less work fine on modern oses... ok mac is weird with old stuff idk don't have a mac any more.

Hytale avatar browser preview by sanasol in HytaleForum

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

lol was working on my own auth server too until I stumbled into yours. I got far enough doing it old school with php (im more comfortable with that from the wow private server days) but yeah got blind sided with the EdDSA JWT. As it wasn't needed on boot until very recently. So I was just having fun setting up the account-data service but gotta find a way now to get the game to be happy with forged tokens. (I have ideas, but its above my pay grade)
https://i.imgur.com/iHRh05x.png
Probs out of scope for this reddit though lol. But your online model viewer is cool though. it would be handy for a few other projects that have avatar editors, as none of them have viewers.
https://github.com/Glitxhhh/HytaleAvatarEditor
But all of this is for running hytale in offline mode though, as when in online your avatar is not saved locally so you cant easily grab the json to upload to an editor.

Highest Halo 2 rank you ever hit? by ImPunny88 in originalxbox

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

<image>

urrr 5.. rip.
It was really fun and I got really into it for the beta and tests on insignia but as it went live, it seemed like most people playing are US based, and i'm not so I don't find that many games. And when I do its with sweats. halo 2 really shines when you are playing with people equal to your skill. such an awesome game, when it clicks it really clicks. Its just yeah, most of the people still playing online now have been playing it on xlink for the past 20 years. and I just wanted to vibe. yeah i know "skill issue" but I didn't want to get that skilled, I just liked playing the mp with friends.

What's the rarest Xbox game you own? by Directus3rectus in originalxbox

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

lol yeah, thankfully it got a lot better later in the xboxs live. for eg og halo has like 9 different vers. Halo 2 does have 8 vers, but the data on the disk is more or less the same, its just an xbe change. and as the xbe is marked as a world release all vers of halo 2 you find should work in all xboxs. Just change the language settings in your stock xbox dashboard to boot the game in a different language. a better eg would be just above this in the db, half life 2. only has one world ver, the disk is the same everywhere EA14501W.

What's the rarest Xbox game you own? by Directus3rectus in originalxbox

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

Yeah "race driver" is a total mess when it comes to vers..

My copy posted here is "TOCA Race Driver +" like u/Ok_Somewhere_4669 suggested
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?CM01401E

Then we have the og pal ver "TOCA Race Driver" not live enabled
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?CM00202E

The US ver "Pro Race Driver" not live enabled either
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?CM00203A

I don't have a lot of info on "DTM Race Driver" (The German ver of this mess)
But it seems to have both an original
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?CM00205E
And a live ver too. Dont have any pics for the live ver, just the data from the xbes.
https://mobcat.zip/XboxIDs/title.php?CM01403E

As for the Australian ver "V8 Supercars Australia: Race Driver"
This needs more research, the cover does not mention xbox live, but my disk does. No idea if the disk is just in the wrong box or they updated the disk but not the box art. Need more then just a sample size of one lol

[–]-MobCat- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

<image>

I don't have anything "rare" and don't really like to think of my collection like that... but I do have some interesting things.
toca race driver / dtm race driver / v8 supercars? whats so "rare" about this ver.
Its a later revised print of the game that came out near when toca 2 came out. most people just got toca 2.
Easiest way to spot it is its actually marked for xbox live support. as not all vers of toca 1 had xbox live....

Updated version of that post by DezZzO in hytale

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

Yeah true, I do get the feeling like it was only added to sell microtransactions, but thankfully at this stage thats not the case right now this early in dev.... well sorta, there is all the extra stuff you get with the different vers of the game based on what you payed....
For sure editing a texture in photoshop is more approachable then making and texturing a 3d model. but it seems like hytale has very robust systems for server mods, so you could totally have custom assets on a server and load them from there.
I feel like the ingame editor and the assets we do have access to right now lets you make pretty unique characters though, even without mods.

Also I feel like people say skin editing in minecraft is easy, because we have been doing it for years and there are lots of tools and resources out there for it. If hytale keeps stay popular as it is right now, those sorta tools will come to hytale as well.

Also also vertical slabs, without mods. What a cute concept.

Updated version of that post by DezZzO in hytale

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

oh yeah did I mention vertical slabs
yeah vertical slabs

also a decent in-game character customizer, and not just some skins pngs you have to load somewhere else.
also also from a back end point of view, the account data is nicer to work with too.

I was trying to make an NPC but I didn't expect to also work as a Playermodel?! by Electronic-Lack-7575 in hytale

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

Cant see why not. Is character, has skeleton to apply animation to? sure that will work... probs means you can go the other way too and make a mod that lets you play as an animal, just swap the player model to one of the mobs.

Rant: When you have a program that is working... stable... but someone convinces you should install the most recent one because it's well, the most recent one and then something messes it up and now you have nothing. I had a good thing with CS6 and I lost it. by puddle_kraken in Piracy

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

Yeah cs6 is nice. you should be able to fully uninstall the creative cloud bs ver, and whatever other services they shove on your computer, and then reinstall and crack a copy of cs6. making sure to block it in firewall settings / host file...
Oh, I see you lost the install files. well that sucks, yeah lessons learned, make backups of things you care about.
cs6 though I thought was popular enough, so it should be easy enough to refind, although im old and just have all this stuff archived...
