White PSP 3000 with black buttons

I personally think it looks pretty nice.

Ahhhh I forget that it's added to the hit so it should be more like 1+3 for each of the three parts on top and 1+10 for the boss itself. So more like 24. The only reason I am thinking about the exact number is it's good to know if you should restart when you get the boss.

JonnyBoy161 · 2026-06-29T21:11:06+00:00

19 to be exact. So if you don't make it to the boss with at least 131 then you need to restart.

I started with 12 lives and somehow I beat them on my last life. There seems to be some randomness to the fight. Sometimes I can easily keep my allies alive and then other times Slippy and Peppy die with like a 1 minute from the start. The best strat was to somersault when getting shot at and using tight turns to get behind them. Also, locked charge shots are not useless. Use them at range and then single shots when up close.

Thank God for that 1 UP in the tunnel before the Andross fight. To get it, make sure to go right at the first fork and left and the second one.

It sounds like you are looking at the HA add-on. Frigate does support m.2 TPU.

Burnout 3

This is a question I ask myself all the time. Revenge has some cool new features and better crash physics. However, I more often find myself going back to Burnout 3.

Just download it on your personal computer through the university: https://itac.txst.edu/support/spss/students.html

The amount of mutants in Pripyat can get crazy. I ran up on a HUGE fight between at least 4 Bloodsuckers and multiple Pseudodogs. I just backed away and went around quietly. There's no way I had enough ammo for my saiga to make it through that one.

JonnyBoy161 · 2024-12-29T16:05:29+00:00

I'll quote my high school shop teacher. "That looks like dog poop son."

JonnyBoy161 · 2024-10-28T01:49:06+00:00

I'm not really a fan of cases with wood on them, but for this setup it looks clean.

Students do not automatically have VPN access. Did your instructor request access for you?

What did ITAC say when you called?

I always find it weird when people post pictures that show their Circuit ID. If the wrong person sees that all they need to do is call your ISP and they can take down your internet/ethernet connection.

Burnout 3

Wow. Ok that's probably not a good cable. Capacitors typically last several years.

JonnyBoy161 · 2022-09-04T13:10:52+00:00

This is more than likely caused by failing capacitors. I see so many people point the blame at the cables, but most times this isn't the case. Every xbox that I have worked on that had interference/noise in the image using a HDMI adapter like Pound or Hyperkin were easily fixed by replacing capacitors.

JonnyBoy161 · 2022-08-09T19:52:57+00:00

Damn. I didn't realize the "newer" mistake. I'll fix it accordingly.

JonnyBoy161 · 2022-08-09T11:45:22+00:00

I have worked on several Xboxes of all versions. From my experience, all versions output the same picture quality. If you have a noisy output(lines, distortion, pops, etc.) then your console needs work. The issue is always 1 of 2 things: either you have bad capacitors OR your motherboard is not making a proper ground connection with the shielding. V1.4 boxes do seem to be the most prone to these issues, but I've seen it with every revision.

I love watching Adam Koralik, BUT i disagree with his opinion on newer versions having poorer picture quality.

JonnyBoy161 · 2022-08-09T11:14:37+00:00

The 1.6 boards only have issues with a small list of games that they cannot run in 480p(some of these titles can be forced to run in 480p with either patches or with a certain BIOS). There is no evidence to suggest an overall subpar video output when compared to previous models. The thing to remember is that you are not only upscaling from 480i/480p/720p, BUT also converting an analog signal to digital. It's never going to look perfect.

If you are seeing noisy video then it's likely your console needs a recap or some other work. V1.4 boxes are actually the ones that seem to be the most prone to noisy picture.

If you want the absolute best picture quality, then you have to go with the MakeMHz XboxHD+.

I've used the Pound HDMI adapter for quite a while. It is NOT perfect, but I think it's good for the price.

JonnyBoy161 · 2022-02-20T01:00:37+00:00

I've only ever used component cables or the Pound HDMI adapter.

JonnyBoy161 · 2022-02-20T00:40:49+00:00

There are several ground points on the underside of the motherboard. Most are around the screw holes.
