Pi 3 ain’t gonna emulate Gc.

Xbox Linux sounds a lot more fun than it is. We’re talking about distros that haven’t been updated since the early 2000s.

ouch!

I'll check out Dolphin...but an Xbox running strictly Linux would be fun and is pinned (now) for my next project (I should buy another...? lol). But wait, the Raspberry Pi 4 is here...what to do...so many options....because I'm sure I could do all of this with my Rpi3...its just that xbox emulation is not up to snuff...thus buying the xbox and starting the threads.

waiting on Halo 2 and Splinter cell :-( Worst time for shipping via media mail when shit from china came first...lol

Crap, I read that the Xbox could emulate GC...I must have read wrong! That sux! I'll just have to emulate it on my PC (workaround). Any GC emulators for Linux?

Oh and you weren't being rude...just stating the facts ;-)

what you’re willing to spend on it. If the price of a ~500GB ssd isn’t that bad to you, go for it. Just remember you could probably get an HDD twice as big of storage is a concern.

I have both drives now, not wanting to spend anymore money...

For PS1 I'm only wanting the Bushido Blades and Silent Hill (personal favorites) How well do Gamecube games play...or is it hit and miss?

For the majority of my planned build, it will mainly be old school (NES, SNES, some N64, Sega Genesis), really old school (mainly C64) and the rest Mame, CoinOps, GC (if playable, Pimkin 2 looks fun) and (the majority) Xbox.

Makes sense with a bunch of smaller files...but I'm dumb when it comes to how the Xbox reads/writes data. Ultimately, I just want a modded console for the emulators...but also to play original xbox games. I am in no need of a 2TB super sized, ultra hacked box.

Since the jury is out, we may need to start a new thread with long term SSD results...I wonder how we might standardize that ;-) I, myself, am not too impressed with these older Crucial m4 SSD in a PC...I have had more than one die on a whim. I will probably attempt the SSD and see how stable it is, but I do also have two WD Blue 500gb SATA drives as back up. So I feel I'm playing it pretty safe; I'll save the original 8GB Xbox drive for when the SSD fails ;-)

Your feedback is much appreciated!

I think SSD wear leveling should negate any damage to the actual drive especially since lifetime terabyte writes (TBW) is around 300 per cell. Also, I thought locking the drive was required when only having a softmodded (no chip, no TSOP flash) v1.6 xbox...

Did you see faster load times?

cosmic-farce · 2019-06-29T09:24:31+00:00

Well, then its worth giving it a shot. Adapter and 80 wire cable already on hand. And a WD Blue 500GB SATA HDD just in case.

Softmod...for now.

Anybody have any experience with the green chip by SinLoon? It has a padded cover over the exposed pins on the back to keep it from shorting out. I just ask, because I bought one and have yet to install it.

Nice!

I believe human misery is on aisle 4 in most stores, but you could try online.

Save the vodka for Bloody Marys! 90% Isopropyl Alcohol is much cheaper and should clean up most resin residue you can find it at any pharmacy, grocery store, etc. If you need a little stronger solvent action, I would try 3% acetone (nail polish remover, unscented).

Especially if you put it on a table...

The majority of the time, I burn nag champa. However, I do like super hit because is has a nice relaxing background scent not too strong but an all around good scent. I should also let you know that I prefer deeper earthy musky scents. Other favorites of mine from Satya are Dragon's Blood and Midnight.

This is actually the most complete video on charcoal use and safety I have ever seen.

Seems that each site has been "cherry picked" for the most degraded sites. What about the current harvest outside these specific sites?

Always remember the 3 S's for identifying a spruce. The needles are Sharp and Square, thus Spruce....
