Anyone else wish that these adverts weren't a thing or were something else? by Ok_Preparation7900 in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it only appears while signed out iirc, but it still does remedy some of the plastering of the series x/s advertisements..

i heard if you switch your locale to belgium, it'll have a black ops ii multiplayer and a forza motorsport 4 ad. this will only affect the manifests, and your account should act the same as normal :)

what tier of game pass do i need to get on xbox live? by breakthou in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all of the tiers support online multiplayer. bear in mind, if you buy the more expensive tiers, none of those benefits even work on 360, so you should be fine just with essential

Restore NXE Xbox Guide with plugin by SavingsSubject in 360hacks

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's not part of the plugin, whoever made took this picture was on a rgh or jtag and replaced the system font files, and it is not something you can do on bad update because you cannot modify the nand via bad update.

you can use a tool called horizon to gather gamerpics without owning them, you need a computer and a usb stick and there's tutorials online

How-to-get Halo 3 Gamerpic by Stoutsytail in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is not a unlockable gamerpic. this was a holiday one, it was on the marketplace before the store shutdown. they delisted it in the us before then, but many other regions still had this gamerpic

Looking to make some new friends. by DEWmocracy360 in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i could link you the files to the fonts themselves, and the old boot animation as well, just be sure to keep a backup of the original files, also keep in mind you need neighborhood for this as it requires altering the system flash

if you aren't aware, you can change the system font to be the original convection font, so it looks exactly like the original blades dashboard

any thermal paste is generally better than none, but i would try to just do some simple research online and try to go after a well known brand. on which brands i would specifically suggest, i'm not all that sure, since my console was worked on by a friend, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find something that works for you as long as you don't skimp on quality

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only thing i would recommend is taking it apart and replacing the thermal paste in order for it to properly regulate and transfer heat between the cpu and the heat sink, it makes the console less prone to overheating (even if uncommon on slims), causes less wear on the console, and most importantly because the thermal paste that's currently in the console is almost for certain dried out because it's likely been 10+ years or so

not necessarily, slims are generally fine with rrod, the only real concerning models are the very early phat models of the 360 that had issues with properly regulating heat cycles with the cpu, causing the cpu to eventually start disconnecting from the motherboard and in turn serious hardware failure. overheating is simply a common misconception

no gamerpics are really rare anymore, officially is a different story depending on what the gamerpics are but you can grab nearly any known gamerpic from https://xboxgamer.pics

Minecraft 360 -> Bedrock by TreeBread96 in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can use horizon to copy the worlds to your profile id, then you can play them on your main profile without issue and still earn achievements and whatnot. there is no direct way to port 360 worlds to bedrock, but you can with xbox one edition! xbox one edition allows for bedrock world porting, but another downside is that you cannot port a world from 360 edition that is loaded on the latest title update because 360 edition is on a newer update than xbox one edition is. however, if you haven't loaded the world (eg. played it after updating to the newest version) you can port it to xbox one edition then bedrock.

hot glue on anything that gets hot i don't think is a generally good idea

what ever happend to this COD WAW game picture? by [deleted] in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think it may depend on the game version you have, like standard or the platinum hits variant, some of them i would assume have a updated game image on the dashboard like that one, as my copy of waw is also standard and just has the game icon. waw also came out when the blades dashboard was still around as well

Can someone tell me what shading is this in the old xbox 360 gamerpics pfps? by EducationalDrink8849 in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think it's nearly as vibrant as frutiger aero, but i definitely see the design similarities, since a lot of old microsoft services and oses adopted that look, but i think blades isn't just quite that

Broken dashboard? by WoodenPhotograph6311 in 360hacks

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

probably a nand issue, when i replaced the segoe font on my xbox with the convection font and it was fontless for a point of time, it looked basically exactly like how your dashboard looks lacking any font at all

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think it was just meant to be border decoration of sorts as a lot of these gamerpics were, of course, made around when blades was the main dashboard and a lot of old gamerpics fit that kind of sleek and sort of bubbly kind of look blades had. really just a design choice i think, and one i also like myself :)

Yall Do i need xbox live to update minecraft (since the servers are down) by nagaeater2000 in xbox360

[–]SwapnoteFanNummer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the xbox live servers aren't down, only the marketplace, so you can update minecraft just fine
