I have Slayers 2.7, which files should I use ? And how to use them /where to upload them ? F:/Games ?

it shows evox rounded triangle icon on the top left and Slayers 2.7 in the center bottom during the green fluid animation anyway, I think the high temp was because of the global temperature + the place where the xbox was placed , not very ventilated. it's back to normal where it is now (downstairs, cooler room), but I think I'll play it less during summer... thanks, global warming, lol a question still remains though: why does the fan go normal when I'm in game or in evox dash... but in other dash (where I set the fan to 5.0x speed or 100% speed) it goes faster ? How can I keep it faster all the time and in all situations (other dashes, ingame, etc...) ? Is it risky to keep the fan workin at full speed all the time ?

not sure about that, I guess hard mod

well, yeah, the temp got 120,100,135 right now, "cold" boot. edit... seems like leaving the console on another room made temp decrease by 20° or something. Maybe I'll just play Xbox in colder seasons, it's an old console, afterall.... anyway: I tried setting the fans to 5.0 speed on unleash x and 100% on xmbc, but it only works while I'm on such dashboards (I don't mind feeling like I'm playing with an helicopter, lol) . When I'm on Slayers dashboard or in game, the fan goes as usual. I didn't even notice any big change in temp decrease while staying on such dashboards, anyway

Yo everybody, resurrecting the thread because I'm worried, when I boot my xbox it says: MB 100F HDD 86F CPU 119F After I play, didn't remember well but it was something pretty higher like 120, 100, 130. Should I worry about it ? I mean it's Summer of course so probably it will return back to normal in colder seasons ? Maybe I should play something else just to stay safe ? Or setting the fans to higher activity actually does a thing in this case ? Yeah, the Xbox is pretty old

I know, but they're no fun. It's too boring with trainers. Unless it's an arcadish game like Amped or any other I can jump in just for a random game or "run". Games shouldn't just offer graphics and sounds, they're not movies. At the same time they shouldn't propose an impossible or too tiring challenge, they're not a job. And some of them also "brick" the game, causing stalls. For example, Amped2 trainers for infinite stats makes you unable to proceed in career mode : after you beat a level in career mode, a screen appears asking you to assign the unlocked stats points, if your char has already full stats it won't let you go out of that screen (because the only way to get out of that screen is to assign those unlocked stat points and you just can't because your char is already full... so, once you beat a level in career mode, you can just restart the console). But you can play free ride though. In short words, trainers are often risky. They're like drugs.

I've noticed many games for the XBox like Otogi, Forza Motorsport, Amped and so on are really difficult (somebody also says Ninja Gaiden Black, but I haven't tried it). Despite their quality in graphics and sounds, they're actually frustrating to play for those like me who just want to have some fun (or can't spend their whole intellectual energy). So, what are some good games, not necessarily hyped in graphics, even "mediocre" or average ones which are actually fun to play ? I mean games with a balanced difficulty and normal gameplay, something you shouldn't spend your whole life in it, something that doesn't leave a feeling of frustration, something that really made you say "wow this was fun" after you finished it, something that you can actually finish (lol, because some of those games require entire months to be finished)... know any worthy of being mentioned ? Like somebody else said " gaming is about fun, if it's fun no more then I should be paid for playing them "... you got the paradox, right ? you know, some games you shouldn't devote your life to but just.. play, you know especially from this list, as I'm interested in xbox-only games (games which aren't for PC or PS2/GC) Category:Xbox-only games - Wikipedia

Yep I tried that, but some files, during the extraction had to be overwritten ? I really don't understand why didn't the uploader put the UDATA and TDATA folder in the root of the zip file and made such complex structure... meh anyway, the only one which actually works for me is the 75% or 4th rating one (boarder name should me "muff2"... but it's a girl, geez). All the other ones give the same " can't load boarder" error at the beginning. maybe, if someone else has actually and successfully tried any of them, reuploading the 100% saves in another way (so I could just upload the UDATA and TDATA folder, with the amped save game folder in each one of them) would be great

I'm looking for Amped 2 Savegames, preferably one with a male character and obviously 100% complete. The only one that seems to work from this page https://downloads.diodematrix.com/homebrew/warchives/xbox-saves/ is unfortunely a female character, and you can't change it in career mode. All the other saves for NTSC US seem not to work, or they're weirdly zipped so I don't know how to install them. Even those on Gamefaqs are broken, the boarder doesn't load in first screen. Can anybody help ? Thanks, I just need the 4d530041 from UDATA and TDATA of a male character which I can customize in career mode, preferably 100% complete Oh, also the trainers are really messed up. They can "brick" the whole save and they should be coded more properly (examples: the characters does weird things, or the game gets stucked at board stats menu as it's not possible to quit that menu ). Please revise them if anybody can

I see... I thought it was an easy task, as much as Playstation adapter or something like that... I guess I'll give up on this as well. thanks anyway

Is there a particular adapter to use the joypad on PC ?

Sounds promising, currently my xbox has : slayer's evox (as default dash), xbmc, avalauncher and another one I don't remember the name. Where should I go to set the language to English ? ::: edit ::: nvm, it worked. I can't believe my eyes, lol I just went to the MS dash (under Evox system settings) and changed it to English. Voilà THANKS.

I don't think so, I looked over and over at that damn intro screen and I think the sequence it blocks is with microsoft_in , microsoft_middle and microsoft_out In fact, the screen of death displays exaclty after microsoft_in. Instead of displaying the microsoft logo with fade in and fade out, it just shows the fade in then all goes black for a moment, screen of death. No big problem anyway, I'll just try Amped 2, hoping I'm not losing anything about the series (probably so, as I've played all Cool Boarders game for PS1 and the last two are probably enough to know all the series... probably just Cool Boarders 4, Cool Boarders 2001 hasn't so much more afterall /offtopic). The only way I can return to this "curse" of a game would be knowing if there's a way to bypass or skip the damn media check.

I don't know, when I check the extracted folder on XDVDMulletter it says Region: every region (anything checked but "Region Free"), Random Padding, XBOX1 Iso type. I've also tried unpatching the XBE in "Misc functions / XBE Details " mode and it says "XBE Could not be fixed : ( " So probably I just need the original xbe of the game? Does anybody have them ?

sorry for double posting @HDShadow have you experienced the same problem with this game or got any solution ? On another forum, some guy told me that it can be probably a matter of long file names and suggested to virtually mount the disc, but that's only possible on soft-modded xbox ? Isn't there a iso loader or a way to solve long file names problem ? Does a CD/DVD solve the issue ? I mean, what if I burn the xiso onto a CD then rip it ? Will it work ?

via FTP, as usual, extracted the iso with DVD Mulletter then copied via FTP (Filezilla). Done this already 4 times at least

I've just noticed this thread by looking for "hdd fix xbox" on google But the link is dead, can somebody help out ?

I just went back on this topic to say that I agree with that, lol. After finishing it, I feel very disappointed about this game. No nature, no forests, electro dinosaurs and where's Regina ? Where's the original gameplay of the series and why did it turn into a weird sci-fi platformer? Total fail. They could have made something like Just Cause, with a free roaming setting in a vast jungle... but no. Really, I gave that game 6/10 on gamefaq as quick review just because of the graphics... because all the rest is just a waste (and wow, I just saw the price for the unboxed version of this game is around 700$, lol). At least Gun Survivor 3 (the lame fps version for PS2) has a jungle in it!

I have made a digital copy of this game on the HDD and I get a disc error right at the beginning, after Microsoft logo, that tells me to press A then the game shows the message again on and on. I've tried to launch it both from Evox and XBMC (hard disk game launch, not DVD disc launch). Maybe there's some setting to change or some file to patch ( I heard about Amped2 xbe fix, not sure it's the same case here) but I couldn't find anything on google Pls help

I love stealth games, Metal Gear Solid... Tenchu (played all titles of the series till Ubisoft screwed it) and probably others I don't remember atm. It's not that. It's a matter of balance: Tenchu and MGS series have a mix of stealth and action, controls are fluid and all the rest is enjoyable (conceptually, graphically, musically, etc..). Splinter Cell is just stiffy to me, honestly. It's characterless. The story isn't interesting and the character isn't fascinating enough FOR ME. It's not even so realistic (I tried shooting a guard right in his head... he survived! lol) and honestly I don't like that "genre of stealth". Controls are way too complicated, too many combinations of buttons, playing it feels more like doing a precision surgery... not my kind of gaming at all. Tenchu and MGS also require precision, but not to the death like Splinter Cell: there's one button for attacks, one button for stealth moves, one button for everything and at the end of the mission I'm like "Yeah, I did it.". Splinter Cell has multiple buttons for stealth, multiple buttons for shooting, multiple buttons for everything and at the end of the mission I'm like " Damn. Let's hope there's no more missions.". Nope, there are more missions and even worse than the one before XD There are many kinds of stealth games, let's not be generic about that. Same goes for fighting games, platformers, etc... controls and gameplay differ from game to game, this is obvious. I just don't like Splinter Cell series, period. Just because I don't like a certain game that belongs to a specific genre, it doesn't mean I don't like the whole genre. In other (funny) words, I like the stealth genre, I just don't like that genre of stealth genre game.

Case solved, I've just completed it 100% and uploaded the savegame files on Gamefaq (awaiting for approval atm)... ... what a pain of a game, lol

Is there any difference between Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black ? I've been always curious about that series. About DOA, gotta be honest, after playing the first and the second one, I don't expect too much beside the good graphics (and extra "bouncing" ... stuff )

that makes me curious, but I've actually own the PS2 and Gamecube versions of SC2, I really don't want to buy more XD

well I know that game well, gran master on all levels, all layout (normal difficulty, though). yeah it takes a lot of patience, but the game is so stylish it's all deserved. I've also mastered the first layout on the Xbox version, but I must say I don't know if anything is really better. I've noticed some badly compressed textures here and there, but I say the shaders and graphic models look quite different (they look flatter on the PS2 version). I'm just disappointed that the game has only two new missions, nothing else. I've also noticed they did quite a strange mix of unlockable moves, while the adaptation of the story to new missions looks kinda weird (but I really didn't care too much about it). Maybe I'm not seeing any real improvement than the PS2 version because my AV cable is for low resolution, I'll maybe check that. About masks, meh. People don't see the positive side of being Covid-negative: to wear a ninja mask. Feels like living in a Naruto village.
