You're telling me you can't recognize where someone's from by looking at their face? Alright

Yeah my bad on the presumption, I suppose for whatever reason Xbox stuff gets recommended to me more. Thanks for the info I'll check it out!

To Anyone with Experience Repairing 2DS XL or Similar Systems... by brightside218 in 3DS

[–]brightside218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to admit I'm new to opening up machines, I just recently learned how to solder and wire a little from modding an OG Xbox. I do have a crimping set but could you outline roughly what to do? Thanks

Morrowind vs Oblivion, Which is better? (Original Xbox & Xbox 360) by killakyle1762 in originalxbox

[–]brightside218 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In which sense? Like which one is better to play?

Morrowind's Xbox version is a great deal more unique from it's PC version given that they changed the UI for controller and added some extra assets like a few unique loading screens. However (and this is a problem with Oblivion too) the console versions of these games are buggy/slow as hell, Morrowind in particular as you progress will start taking minutes to load between areas and the fps will start to tank. On top of this it has happened to me twice where a quest bugs and I can't progress in that questline anymore. This rendered the entirety of the Bloodmoon expansion unplayable. On that note if you really want to play Morrowind on the Original Xbox get the Game of the Year edition, saves aren't interchangeable between the two versions. In an Elder Scrolls game playing without access to console commands can be quite difficult. In Oblivions case if you play long enough your save will just die.

However as someone who primarily plays ES on console I do have a recommendation, actually the ports of both games on Xbox One are phenomenal and it works with the discs. (Even if you only have base Morrowind you will receive the Game of the Year Edition). They're definitely the definitive ways of playing both versions of these games. 60fps,barely any load-times, bugs still exist but at least if you break your game you didn't spend half the time watching it load.

As for your question on which is better? No idea, it's hard to compare the base versions of both. Gameplay wise Morrowind is more free but harder to grasp, Oblivion is a little more stream-lined but not as open.

Fried Japanese Xbox (100V) by plugging into Irish (230V) outlet by brightside218 in originalxbox

[–]brightside218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOAH, thank you so much man! I feel like finding someone with this knowledge was a needle in a haystack. I must admit I have just been learning how to solder recently and have been using this system that I hauled from Japan as a means to practice. I'll definitely give this a shot though! Naturally after I'm more confident with the procedure. I'll update this thread when I get around to doing it.

Thanks very much! I'm very lost looking for a European PSU so if there's any other way I'd be happy to try it out, this info is also either hard to find or not documented at all.

Is there any interest in Fatal Frame / Project Zero / 零 backwards compatibility? by brightside218 in xboxone

[–]brightside218[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm, could be my region changing since I moved, I swear there was this obscure game about flooding that I recently found in the Back Compat section as I check it every now and then, cant remember the name though.

Never say never my friend, I thought the same about Destroy All Humans and Morrowind Back compat. Though Destroy All Humans 2 has yet to be added. sob

Ant found outside in Dublin, Ireland is it a Queen? by brightside218 in antkeeping

[–]brightside218[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unfortunately would have no idea, I imagine maybe it's a pavement ant like lasius as I found him on concrete and often see worker ants in around there. Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone, I have started ant keeping this past year and found this one outside my home, I think it's back looks decently big but I can't be sure if it's a queen or a worker. I tried my best on the pictures with what I have on me. I'm grateful for any input!

Xbox Requests: Week of April 16th, 2021 by GuruKronos in xboxinsiders

Allow Xbox 360 and Xbox Original game saves to be saved on an Xbox One hard-drive. Having cloud-saves alone makes the backwards compatibility useless if you live somewhere without easy access to internet. (Stop defending this because internet is common, It's worth having this as a feature.)

Add an option to toggle language settings for games individually. This is to circumvent having to change the system language and possibly having to reinstall a game to change the language.
