As difficult as a pool table to move, and the only advantage is you can put it next to a wall.

Just got back from a week in San Diego for work - had a great time and ate so many delicious tacos.  Would definitely go back.

Been awhile since I’ve done a $0 repair like this.  I replaced the back box GI connector on my driver board because I got tired of those lights flickering.  Noticed the goalie looked weird.  Touched him and realized the only thing holding it together was the cracked decal.  Rubber was about to explode.  So I added duck tape on the back, put an iPad protector on the front, and wrapped in clear tape.  That locks in the original.  Then I printed a new goalie on photo paper, laminated it, and glued to the old goalie. This will last forever in home use.   :lol

If anyone's interested, today @ noon (PST) I'll be going on stream again for my company's weekly broadcast. We'll be playing Micro Mages for the NES and drinkin' whiskey.  Today is going to be a good day.  >:D

It was the Nikka Coffey Grain, not bad. Has a bit of a bite though.

Thanks for stopping by!

Originally I wasn't supposed to be on stream this week, but the guy who was going to get interviewed got slammed with a last minute workload, so they asked me to fill in. I jokingly suggested bringing in an old console and playing some games on stream while drinking whiskey...and they agreed!
 :dunno

I love my job.

Please tell me there's something that sucks about opt2not's job.  Congrats, Malenko.  I'm personally spending a good 10 hours a day pondering my direction in life.

It felt silly to start a whole thread about this, but here's the current project.  I'm preeeeeeeeetty sure the xbox hard drive in my turtle box is about to give out.  Percussive maintenance and reseating the IDE connector is getting less successful.  Turns out nowadays you get a SATA -> IDE adapter and can hot swap a modern drive into these things.  Use a program called "Chimp" to clone your old drive onto the new one.  Catch with the adapter is it has to be a newer one that supports a Master/Slave jumper.  You forget how annoying it is to work with this old junk, but it's still pretty cool that it works. 

Well, it might work. 

Crapped out halfway through on me last night... but...

 :dunno

Listen here Opt. That is Japanese whisky. Not whiskey. America and Ireland = whiskey. Everywhere else = whisky.
Lesson complete.
 
Is it 70 dollars good or just good? I don't spend over 30 dollars a bottle unless it is really good.

Very Punny!

I'll be working at the FMC plant in Delaware. Dupont bought out FMC , in Delaware at least , so now they have to hire people like me to convert all the servers and networking from FMC's standard over to Dupont's standards. It pays better than my last gig, but its "Contract to Hire" so there's an outside chance that in 2 years I'll be unemployed.

btw Vigo, our Receptionist/Community Manager's mom is the original artist of the Vigo painting!  She told us this during our stream today. Her mom was/is a hollywood set designer and she worked on Ghostbusters 2, among some other big titles like Indiana Jones Temple of Doom.  Crazy!

Just good.  I wouldn't spend $70 on this one.  Nikka has better ones in their lineup that are worth that cost. Like their Pure Malt one.

Well it's not all butterflies and lollipops.

- Unstable Industry:  The longest I've been at a company has been 4 years.  Every studio I've been at has lasted 2 years average.  Games get canceled all the time. Studios either do mass layoffs, or close their doors completely.

- You work with a lot of annoying younger people, and egotistical man-children.

- Lots of overtime, most of which go unpaid because we're all salary.

But hey, no one bats an eye when you're drinking on the job.

That is really ridiculously cool. There can't be too many set pieces more iconic that that, I'm sure I'd be blown away by the Indiana Jones stuff too.

Well, it might work. 

And son of a ---smurfette---, it actually worked.  I took the old hard drive out of the Xbox case so that I could get the power and IDE cables as flat as possible, reduce any possibility of connector jitter and tugging when I did the hot swap.  Let it run overnight, and now I've got an old Xbox with a 7200RPM 2TB SATA drive in it.  Seems like UnleashX doesn't recognize that 1.7TB G: partition I have now, but it's working fine without any additional configuration in XBMC.  I did have it initially running as an exact clone of the old 160GB drive, but then I took a shower and stood under the water muttering to myself, "what would they think of me if they knew I left 1.7TB of space on the table...."

And, now, mostly for my own future reference when I search on here to remember how I did it:

If you’re running a fairly recent bios, the dvd drive check is probably disabled and you can boot up with both hard drives attached and no need to hot swap.

When you get into Chimp, first “scan physical ide devices” and make sure both drives appear.

Then do “master drive options” and pick partition information.  If the partitions don’t show up, run the XBPartitioner tool and choose the option that matches your setup.  Probably “F takes remaining space” if your old drive isn’t too large.  If you don’t do this, your F partition won’t copy over in chimp.

Use the option in Chimp 261812 - Clone Master to Slave -> Selective (Select Partitions) -> C, E, F, & G takes remaining space on a large new drive.

Only performance difference I noted was a few more seconds of initial boot time when the system comes on, but I think that's the adapter hand shaking between the Xbox and HD.  Once booted didn’t notice any difference.

This was the adapter I used, HDE RXD-62987-7

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JVUXMRI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Put some tape on the back of it unless you like seeing sparks fly.

 :cheers:

EDIT - the new drive needs the SATA adapter jumper set to "Slave" when you're copying the old drive.  Change it to "Master" when you install it into the Xbox.

PS: In a second Xbox, when I upgraded a 30GB drive to 320GB, I couldn't figure out how to make the F partition on the new drive large - it always made an exact clone of the F partition and left ~290GB unusable.  So I used the options above and ended up with an exact clone of C, E, and F and then a new large partition G.  In my case, it wasn't a big deal because that F partition was ~20GB and has almost everything I want on it already, but the rub is there's only like 100MB free on it.  XBMC works fine with a G partition, but you'll need to update the paths on your Apps/Video links to point towards it.  I've noticed that XBMC doesn't like two copies of the same game on two different partitions.  It'll work if you use the file explorer to run the default.xbe, but if you try to navigate to it through the Apps shortcut it's not working.  It shows the game one time and doesn't have the icon.  You can probably get around this limitation if you use different folder names or something.

Nice. If you haven’t done so already, for longevity’s sake you should remove the clock battery. It’s prone to failure and battery leakage.

They leak but there aren't exactly large piles of dead Xbox motherboards because of them.  Given that the fix is just twisting them off there's no harm in doing it, though.  I'll double check but pretty sure I already did that years ago.


Was kind of interesting to see the current state of CoinOps.  Looks like the 'community' opinion really changed on that guy and now everyone's moving to XBMC Emustation.  That's unfortunately Pi-like but looks promising.

Listen to Canada-Dad. One clock capacitor had already taken its ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on my motherboard, the other one started dripping when I yanked  it off.

Currently replacing my 30gb hard drive from 2000.  It's the one my parents bought me to cheer me up after I nearly died from Mono.

That one damn near did.  I ended up in the ER having my throat drained of some obscene amount of pus (28cc's, IIRC).  The campus clinic had given me so many shots of steroids to get the swelling down that I was at risk of cardiac arrest.  ---smurf--- running that place would just give me a shot and tell me to gargle salt water.

Don't pass around "oh my god, you won't believe how strong this is!" drinks at a bar, kids.

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Yeah, no.  Didn't eat or drink for a week.  Didn't have a car.  At one point, a friend loaded me into the back of his pickup like a dead body... and drove me back to the clinic.   :lol

Anyway, was just funny to open that ancient Xbox and find that hard drive in there.

Super chuffed about this Alan 1 yoke.  I received it last week and made a stand for it.  It plays great on the Star Wars Trilogy arcade.  I still need to lubricate the internals but the controller and board are worth the money.

That one damn near did.  I ended up in the ER having my throat drained of some obscene amount of pus (28cc's, IIRC).  The campus clinic had given me so many shots of steroids to get the swelling down that I was at risk of cardiac arrest.  ---smurf--- running that place would just give me a shot and tell me to gargle salt water.

Don't pass around "oh my god, you won't believe how strong this is!" drinks at a bar, kids.
*Note to self, "Do NOT kiss PBJ"* ....However good job on that HD man, that is impressive, I can't wait to try that.

For the first time in months, no general illumination BS on my WCS 94.  This pinbits tool is great. Male connectors on driver board could stand replacing but eh.

Pushes wires into IDC connectors. I ended up replacing the male pins on the driver board. GI is much brighter now....
