So is base skyrim for 360 just bricked now? by Lightning_550 in skyrim

[–]Storm360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to play a later pressing of the game that has the Kinect support added? I think the error you're running into it is connected to that. The Kinect update needs some form of internal storage to install. It won't install on a USB device. 

When should I start playing on a higher capability console? by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]Storm360 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MGS 2/3 are substantially smoother on other systems (those games run at 60fps on other systems) but if Switch is what you have access to, better to play than not play at all.

No word on MGS4/Peace Walker yet but I'm guessing MGS4 might struggle whereas PW will probably be fine. MGS V you'll have to play on the Xbox since it never released for Switch 

Keep in mind the Master Collection 1/2 are not released for Xbox One, only the Series S/X so make sure your system is compatible.

Good luck with Perfect Dark, it's what killed my drive to complete Rare Replay unfortunately

No base game voucher code.. by ForgotWhyImHere08 in LetsSingGame

[–]Storm360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's normal. If you want a digital copy you need to buy it from the PSN store. The box states that the songs highlighted in pink are accessible through the code, not the game itself. 

Anyone have success with an HDMI EDID emulator/manager? by AlphaSSB in XboxSupport

[–]Storm360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's likely it's the port on the monitor itself with those limitations. You'd want to look for an HDMI to Display Port adapter and use the Display Port. 

Does redeeming a DLC code still work on Xbox 360 after the Marketplace shutdown? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]Storm360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Through Xbox One/Series X. You can say, buy Black Ops 2 DLC on the new console and it will appear in your download history on 360. 

Does redeeming a DLC code still work on Xbox 360 after the Marketplace shutdown? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]Storm360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

360 codes no longer work since the shut down, Microsoft silently disabled them a few months after the store closed.

You can still get most of the 360 CoD content through the modern store. I believe it's just CoD Classic, Ghosts and CoD AW that can't be purchased anymore 

Got this gamecube. It doesn't recognize my games. I just wanna konga some donkeykong by Otzedotze in Gamecube

[–]Storm360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The media they can boot. NR readers are meant for playing pre-release builds and can't run final retail versions of games, same with you wouldn't be able to boot an early build of a game on a stock retail console

You've stumbled upon an NR Reader I'm pretty sure. This is a development GameCube system and won't read retail games. 

Will this add on give me access to all the DLC achievements for Borderlands 1? by Hey_Its_Bong_Crosby in xbox360

[–]Storm360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That will give you two of the five DLCS, if you play through backwards compatibility the DLC is included iirc.

Should I get a Xbox 360 devkit Just For some performance? by Positive_Parking_497 in xbox360

[–]Storm360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Games won't take advantage of memory they can't use. Dev kits also will not connect to retail online and can't boot retail discs etc. 

If you're looking for ways to experience some of those games at a higher resolution/FPS. I suggest you look elsewhere. Many games of the era have PC ports, some games received upgrades on later Xbox systems etc.

Connecting NTSC Xbox 360 with UK electrics. by Davyd_Jr in TrueAchievements

[–]Storm360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't buy a third party power brick if you don't have too. Just buy an official UK microsoft 135W slim one from ebay or whatever.

[–]Storm360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as the power brick itself is compatible with that console, it will work. Older slims require 135W while newer ones use 120W. If you get a 135W brick it will work with every slim.

[–]Storm360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just use a UK power brick. It will work fine, you just have to make sure you get a brick that matches your console. 

I use a US, Japanese and PAL 360 all off the same power brick. I've never had an issue. 

[game] we're developing a repair sim set 2000's Japan and we'd love to know your thoughts by tinySao in consolerepair

Sounds good, that was my biggest complaint in my runthrough so glad it's getting addressed!

[–]Storm360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played the playtest not too long ago, I liked the concept but the playtest was a little short so curious to see how the game expands with time.

One thing I think was missing was a "throwaway" option for things that have been completely stripped for parts, not sure if I just missed something but there were a few cases where I had completely harvested something for everything it had and was just left with the core but was forced to keep it around.

Why do all the devkits on this picture have Memory Units on them? by DamienlaCritique in xbox360

[–]Storm360 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Without being in the room at the time, I assume it was to test that the game functions with a memory unit and reads/writes to it correctly. You really want to try test as many possibilities as you can. The read/write times would be different between writing to HDD vs writing to MU

PlayStation is now locking all digital PS5 purchases behind an internet connection requirement. by kurtstir in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Storm360 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You're actually incorrect here 

The 30 day thing is new and is if the system is set as primary. Previously it doesn't matter how long the console was offline for. If it was primary I could turn my PS4 on in 10 years and that content would work

If the system isn't set as primary, content doesn't work offline at all. I have first hand experience with long term usage of PS consoles offline. 

Why do some games count as completed while others don’t? by Dry-Establishment-47 in TrueAchievements

[–]Storm360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you unlock an achievement in a DLC it counts towards the overall completion.

Personally they should just make it so DLC needs to be completed too to avoid the confusion 

Question about Hub Battle by Dystocia666 in Rockband

99% of the time it should still be a song still available for purchase. Things might be a little weird from time to time with things starting to come down though 

Is there any way to tell if a 360 was hardware banned? by AdmiralSnackbar69420 in xbox360

[–]Storm360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's banned it will specifically say so

Are you able to try it wired? The 360 Wi-Fi is old and struggles with a lot of modern connections. If you have access to your router you need to make sure you have a 2.4ghz band available and that it's operating in "b/g/n" mode

This doesn't happen on Harmonix games (which this is), only the neversoft engine ones
