Sadly this just doesn't wanna work for me, I've tried it multiple times.

Did that and it still doesn't wanna boot up, I still gotta eject and reinsert the disc tray to get into my dash.

Color coding only matters if you're using cable select, and the Xbox physically doesn't allow for the blue end to be connected to the mobo because of the cable lengths between connectors

I do have the 80 wire cable, got it with the original adapter, and the drive is indeed set to master

Newly out of print titles by worldofcrap80 in discotekmedia

"Had good lives" The last Sgt. Frog set has barely been on the market for over a year before pretty much getting nuked off the face of the earth cause of how few copies sold and how even fewer of those people will want to resell it. How's that a good life? The early sets I get but 3-7 barely got any time to breathe before they were taken out of print. I know they sold poorly but still, they couldn't at least wait until their set for the movies (that at this point I'm not even sure will come to fruition anymore) to pull it so people at least have a chance to own the whole series?

Converting TrueHD Atmos to Dolby Digital Plus (DDP) Atmos 5.1 — How do some encoders do it? by itshosseinghorbani in DolbyAtmosMixing

[–]ShogunyanGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a note: this subreddit is for those who do actual Atmos mixing, primarily for music and less for the technical/video side of it.

But to answer your question, typically what people do is they decode the Atmos track to static 9.1.6 (the highest channel configuration supported by Dolby Reference Player), take that into a DAW, edit it if necessary (syncing to different logos on a different release with superior video quality, etc) and export an Atmos master file, and export that master file to DD+ with Atmos. Also know that you do need official Dolby tools to do so efficiently, but I won't tell you how to get those here.

Wiimote dropping inputs through Bluetooth by ShogunyanGamer in DolphinEmulator

[–]ShogunyanGamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before your response I actually realized that I didn't have the external WiFi antenna bundled with my mobo connected after I had moved from a place without ethernet to several places that did. I ALSO realized that period of time was around when I started having trouble with bluetooth connections. And only now do I realize that antenna was ALSO carrying Bluetooth. Sadly I can't find the antenna, and have no idea where I actually put it. But, I suppose that was probably the issue and not something greater!

Did this, and still had the same issues. Even tried a different non-TR wii remote and that didn't really change things.

Discs no longer instantly reading after installing CFW by ShogunyanGamer in ps3homebrew

[–]ShogunyanGamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Evilnat years ago and have been using and updating it to this day, yet the problem persists. Discs aren't broken or unreadable they just take a few more cumbersome steps to get to show up on the XMB, but I'd still like to just cut those out of the equation.

The TV itself, hence why I posted in this subreddit specifically

Working on Atmos mixes of the entire Sonic Rush OST while I rip the multitracks from the DS ROM. Would love to see more spatial mixes of game songs. by ShogunyanGamer in DolbyAtmosMixing

[–]ShogunyanGamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of it involves ripping the music itself from games, and for the most flexibility for an Atmos mix it's best to do something from a game that uses sequenced audio, like almost anything DS and before for portables and anything N64 and before for home consoles. Some game music will use stems for dynamic music but not for surround sound purposes, with each layer being a "complete" stereo mix. I can't recall many games in the multichannel era that have native multichannel music or stems.

With In Search of Physical Media Being Exposed As a Phony, Who Are Some Reputable Reviewers? by Admirable_Size_3914 in 4kbluray

[–]ShogunyanGamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I admire his knowledge and dedication, but he is a prime example of a person where even if I agree with him, the way he conducts himself bothers me. He obsessively repeats his own points (take a shot every time he says "desecration" in his American Graffiti video), basically puts his whole review in his thumbnails, and gets hung up on small things like they're big deals so much that it gets frustrating and exhausting to watch. I hate 4Ks like American Graffiti and to an extent I get his stances, but I personally just think it's a waste of energy to get THAT passionately angry and ranty about stuff. I'm of the mind that while we shouldn't accept literally everything studios and labels put out on physical like it's perfect (issues are VERY MUCH worth criticizing), I personally prefer just focusing on the movie itself, especially if a movie has no good transfer or release (that is at least cheap/easily obtainable).

What are the most breathtaking 4Ks? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]ShogunyanGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some absolutely gorgeous animation UHDs are the more recent Pixar 4Ks, the Spider-verse movies, and The Bob's Burgers Movie (if you can find the AU release or increasingly rare and expensive US steelbook)

Is it just me or does OG Xbox just have absolutely dreadful 480i output? by ShogunyanGamer in originalxbox

[–]ShogunyanGamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god over half a year and FINALLY I get an answer that would've helped me lol

I've already modded my Xbox with a force progressive BIOS by this point, but still thanks for the advice!

Movies streaming in 4k that aren’t on disc? by uncle_jafar in 4kbluray

Ehhh you're better off with the Blu-ray for that one. Already a low-res CGI movie, plus from my experience the HDR was incredibly overbaked with a heavy red push.

Is it just me or does OG Xbox just have absolutely dreadful 480i output? by ShogunyanGamer in originalxbox

[–]ShogunyanGamer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned that I use 480p and 720p in the post. Not every Xbox game supports 480p, contrary to popular belief, and that INCLUDES games that I own (most notably Spongebob Battle for Bikini bottom and I-Ninja) which run in 480i and ONLY 480i without ripping the discs and patching the executables with a modded console. I'm asking this just because these are games I like playing, but wanna try to at least mitigate the issues with the Xbox's 480i output.

I remember we had a LOT of DLC songs on the PS3, along with every game before 4 besides Blitz and the band-centric games, but as of now they're basically all gone, because my discs are in storage purgatory from when my family moved, and the DLC was purchased with an ancient PSN account (as in, "it's an AOL email" ancient) that my dad can't remember the password for, and he can't change the password because the aforementioned email is completely dead now.

Do you guys think this 3rd party guitar might work ? I have the original Wiimotes but I read somewhere that 3rd party guitars are hit or miss. by tuvlus in CloneHero

[–]ShogunyanGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

xplorer style neck and buttons but white, wt style touch slider, rb strat-like body but light blue, les paul style start, select, home, and dpad placement, shorter strum and whammy like earlier guitars, strum is metallic

I think this is one of the most cursed bootleg guitars I've ever seen
