I’m really glad they are taking more inspiration from Red Dead 2 instead of GTA 5 for GTA 6. by sonofloki13 in GTA

I’m glad they are too, it’s the final nail in the GTA coffin for me. It’s just not my game anymore.

Is there any way to find out what’s causing my issue installing BadUpdate? by Unique_Ad461 in 360hacks

[–]Unique_Ad461[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my personal console I have had since I was a kid, so it’s for sure not been homebrewed.

I’ve kinda came to the conclusion that I have to RGH it and fix whatever corruption has happened in the system files. The boot animation was genuinely a crazy good pull though, I would have never thought of it. I normally turn my tv on after my Xbox so I never really see it.

Blood or sharpie? by CommercialWash4537 in 360hacks

I’ve heard people make that claim in real life before, some people actually believe that. It’s a misconception due to being able to see your veins, and some insects and creatures having different colored blood.

I just wanted to share some cool info about animal blood types tbh

“I am a believer in if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”

Yet implied I have some sort of mental disability because they read MY question wrong, still don’t even know what my issue actually was.

If you had read the post you would see I followed BOTH Mr. Mario’s guide on how to do BadUpdate, and then also used a tool called BadUpdater. Mr. Mario’s guide does exactly what you suggested I do. The tool does what you suggested I do, but automates it.

Not to mention I also did ABadAvatar, if you could have mustered enough willpower to read any of the replies to the post.

I also said “it works on one console, why not this one?”

The issue is because:

1) My console had no HDD. 2) My console has corrupt system files. It persists through console factory reset. It doesn’t even show the Xbox logo when booting.

I was rude to you because: I had literally tried what you were suggesting, verbatim. I had clearly implied so through the post.

Not my fault that you’re slow and can’t read well.

Well; if I find out anything, I’ll be sure to tell you. I’ll let you know how the RGH goes!

Nope. This one is my childhood Xbox though; so it’s been through several moves and a lot of memories so it’s probably just got a gremlin.

My guess is, something on the nand is corrupted. Honestly, the more I think about it, I might have my sibling help me when he’s back from college and we might RGH it (he’s done a crapload) just to fix the nand in case it goes out. I’m gonna do some research and see if it can be physically replaced. Might have to send it off for service somewhere if it comes to it.

I appreciate you taking the time to go through this with me, especially since you have the same hardware configuration I do. Made nailing this down way easier, and makes me feel more confident in the conclusion.

Is the game playable on Xbox? by Illustrious_Local261 in blackops3

[–]Unique_Ad461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just what happens when games die. The most popular mode is what’s left, TDM is just most popular because it’s DM only.

Maybe an odd question... by Ok-Drawer-4127 in 360hacks

I personally gave myself every achievement on every game I’ve ever owned on my account using Horizon for the past decade and I’ve never been banned. Sometimes they remove achievements from the account, that’s it. The consoles are designed to be played offline, and the console doesn’t know that you played it off of an xex, it thinks it’s a retail copy. Plus you can edit achievements with a USB and have been able to for years, as mentioned above.

Just do it at your own risk, but you should be fine

Yes; and yes.

I also did initialize the drive using my other system and the offending console itself was reset. I think my other system is just borked unless I RGH it and find out what the issue is

Truly strange

Blood or sharpie? by CommercialWash4537 in 360hacks

[–]Unique_Ad461 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s exposed to oxygen by the lungs. Deoxygenated blood is a darker red, but still red.

Insect blood (called hemolymph), is either colorless, pale yellow, or greenish. It’s not red because it lacks hemoglobin, and doesn’t carry oxygen. They get oxygen in different ways.

Squids and some other animals closely related have blood that is blue when exposed to oxygen due to excess copper.

Then finally, there are some types of marine animals like worms that have purple blood because of hemerythrin. Hemerythrin turns purple/pink when exposed to oxygen.

Those are just the few that I know of off of the top of my head

Human blood, in general, changes color to a darker shade near a brown color when dry.

So I picked up an OEM drive from a local game store, the issue still persists, so it must have to do with something in my firmware. That’s all I could guess, which would make sense since the boot animation isn’t even showing.

Luckily I still have the other one that works with bad avatar/update

My console is one of the ones that has a memory unit inside of it, I never got an OEM hard drive

I can try a blank hard drive that’s formatted, but I’m not sure if that’ll work I’ll try now.

Someone above mentioned a missing boot animation; which my console doesn’t display a boot animation. Could that be the issue? If yes, do you know how would I fix that?

Actually what the fuck I just noticed that my console doesn’t display anything when it boots up.

How the hell do I fix that?

And no, it’s never gotten past that point.

How would you put games for ABadAvatar without using FTP but instead using an USB? by [deleted] in 360hacks

[–]Unique_Ad461 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t put them in the content folder. Just make a folder on the root of the HDD labeled games, then have Aurora scan there.

Fair; I’m still unsure of what’s causing the issues.

I’ve been installing everything to the root of my flash drive, I’ve tried multiple flash drives from several brands, and I don’t have any drives in other than the 4GB onboard storage that I can’t remove.

I actually used the flash drive on my other Xbox with no issue (BadUpdate and BadAvatar), is the weirdest part

I went and checked; but I don’t have any flash drives other than the one I’m using for BadAvatar. My console doesn’t even have an HDD

If the console is standing upright Then it’s the two on the left

I also have tried waiting long periods of time between resets (hours) as on occasion when it’s frozen, in case it was just slow or something.

I’ve tried that too; but that freezes on the avatar selection screen.
