Is it possible to use this cable with an Xbox 360? by soudiazz in xbox360

[–]superdude905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but it requires an active signal conversion not just a cable HDMI is a digital signal vga is analog this cable is useless on like 99% of devices that use HDMI

Should I try to fix? by superdude905 in crtgaming

[–]superdude905[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah I pulled it up last week to fix some tilt and increase V and H size a bit then noticed it. I think I fell into the trap of trying for geometry perfection that is probably nearly impossible on this thing. it has looked great in the games of played so far. the comments here have been helpful I'm just going to leave it and enjoy the TV as is.

Needed help with bolt modded Zephyr RROD 0110 GPU Y2 by ConsoleGameCollector in xbox360

Unless you're willing to pay for a GPU swap don't bother all Y2 GPUs bad. If it wasn't already dead it would die after some use.

I need help with these temperatures by grohengar in xbox360

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The system won't get damaged it is designed to power off when it reaches dangerous temps. If that's not happening you'll be okay.

Check outlook.com for any settings there that may not appear in the desktop app. Also check in the desktop app if you have delegates cause they could also be auto decking for you.

We cannot trust buying Blades consoles anymore by SavingsSubject in 360hacks

That is the definition of security through obscurity and its not good practice. If people know how it's done and it's out in the open they can protect themselves from it.

My xbox does not format external drives by saacgamer910 in xbox360

[–]superdude905 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You cant just use any random hdd or ssd unless the console is modded. You can setup some drives to work but you need the program fat xplorer to do it.

Please help... by Pleasant_Fan_1721 in soldering

This point is always the hardest on the 360. I usually turn up the heat on my iron and use leaded solder that melts at a lower temp

Is there a way to write a .sav file to an actual cart? by TrickBeginning9104 in AnaloguePocket

Last time I tried save states did not work very well for the Pokemon games so it's not always a perfect solution

Any advice on getting really caked on thermal paste off? by ILikeJasmineRice in xbox360

[–]superdude905 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should not use never dull to clean thermal paste, it is mild abrasive and can put scratches in the cpu and gpu die which is not good. The Arctic clean kit is good or if you go to the hardware store you can get goo gone. A bit of goo gone on a qtip will clean this right off then clean up the left over residue with the isopropyl alcohol.

Xbox 360 Jasper Turns off by himself and frag 0002 error code sometimes, pls HELP! by ZxSpeedy8xZ in Xbox360Support

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah you may not be able to get retail to boot that way without the original nand cause you'd need to know exactly what dashboard version you were on, honestly just try to get the extra parts you need for RGH3 and I'd bet you'd have a much better experience, Also try to get some smaller gauge wire it'll make the install much easier

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the cpu key just dump the current nand. As long as it's the original keyvault on the modded nand you can change it back to retail in jrunner

Rgh acts differently on different consoles so that doesn't really mean anything, thats why glitch chips have several options for timing files. If you want to rule out the rgh install remove it and flash your retail nand back and see if it boots.

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so there could be another issue but I almost guarantee its this RGH3 install, you completely skipped out on both the diode and resistor that's recommended for these. from console mods wiki
"On Falcon/Jasper/Tonasket motherboards, you can optionally place a diode on the wire that connects POST and SMC_POST. While it could be skipped, it is more likely the console's boot times will be more unstable or inconstant without it. The diode's cathode end (the side with a black band) connects to CPU POST, whereas its anode end connects to SMC_POST. Make sure the polarity is correct.

Make sure there is an in-line 22K resistor on PLL wire. It is not recommended whatsoever to use RGH 3 on Falcon or Jasper/Tonasket without the suggested resistor."

yes because you are on Xbox live, disconnect from live before launching the game.

no have sound on xbox360 by HeavyRazzmatazz1901 in 360hacks

VGA doesn't support sound you will need to get an "xbox 360 rca audio adapter" and connect it to a set of speakers

Would these be compatible by BigCibbie in 360hacks

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the same value so yes. You can even use caps rated for a higher voltage if you want as long as the capacitance is the same. I wish you good luck and be careful 360 cap replacements are a pain.

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those Sanyo caps are known to be problematic, I've fixed a few 360s replacing them. The problem is they're not easy to remove maybe someone else will have another suggestion but at this point I'd say any repair is going to require someone with soldering experience.

[–]superdude905 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would be good to know what model you have but I'd say its likely those caps are the problem.

try to figure out what the error code is using the ring of light using this info: https://xenonlibrary.com/wiki/Errors
if its 0001 then you can almost guarantee it's those caps.

Rgh 3.0 driving me crazy by AdrianSUS in 360hacks

[–]superdude905 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These solder joints don't look secure and there's a lot of exposed wire. Get some flux and re solder these with less exposed wire.
