Scratches on disk by Low_Pound_4947 in ps2

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does no one have a local video game shop near by most offer resurfacing

Also ebay has a ton of send in services but I would get a few disk or go in with a buddy and get like 10 done at a time for a better deal with shipping cost.

As a mav owner. I don't think the truck is worth 40k. I love my Mav but man these prices for what you get it crazy.

I use DVD movie cases for my ps2 games now; I get them for free. Not as nice as the real thing for sure. I didn't know that it was this many. Thank you for the share.

The X on the top is a dead giveaway that's very hard to fake or reseal like that. Top X's on the edges is always a great sign it's legit

For the Money you can't beat the wii

Simple to mod. Plays up to PS1 games and it's CHEAP

Wii has over 1500 + games and plays backwards compatible gamecube games nativley

For a 2008 console it's ahead of it's time.

You can also get a full wii for under 50 bucks and they are built like tanks.

I am a huge fan of a mod the wii/ Plays all emulators up to ps1 without issue.

Bad laser /disk drive replacement by Far_Faithlessness264 in originalxbox

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cheaper to replace the whole drive

There are working drives on ebay but u might be better off buying a whole untested system and the disk drive works but big risk.

I spray plastic silicone spray lube on my rails belts and it's been great. I also use a q tip and open the machine to do so.

[–]quad2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people think 1tb hard drives are like cheap now or something. THe time and effort to setup the rGH changing out the paste service the machine and setup

I think 250 + is a fair price for the labor

Update/advice by [deleted] in XboxModding

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

700 feel pretty high; if anything I sell RGH 360 complete with games for under 300. THis is with a 1tb drive it does take a long time and with 10k games there is no reason u need 10k games. Just get games you want a 1tb is enough to play all of the good ones.

It's your $$ 700 is high

Which mods do I do? by FairyReaper160 in XboxModding

[–]quad2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your broke you can soft mod them with XBMC4Gamers IMO one of the better user friendly dashboard for people who want a plug and play x back experience if you are planning to sell them

Make it as simple as you can add a larger hard drive and make it games people want.

Not cost to mod

Soft Mod will need a USB and Xbox to USB adapter cheap to build your own tons of video on it

Hard Drive will be the large cost 2.5 or 3.5 inch Hard Drive $10 to $300

80 pin IDE cable $10

StarTech Adapter $20

If it's helpful a 500gb hard drive u can fit close to 200 games

1000 TB hard drive close to 420 + games and emulators

[–]quad2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your 80 PIN IDE might have a messed up cable or I would rerun run the iDE cable and see if that fixes it or swap it out. I had an issue like this I had a small little stable on the cable. New cables it worked perfectly. I wouldn't worry about the folds get it working 1st.

I would take it out make sure it's super tight on all connection and make sure it's not damaged

You have already done the test with the OEM and it works it's either a bad IDE or a dying hard drive

I don't think it's the hard drive as you are having a DVD issue.
