NFSU2 fucking RULES. MC has crap physics.

The reduction circuit doesn't actually reduce the clock speed, so you wont see an application report that. It somehow kills every other cycle to achieve half performance. I wish i understood how. However, if supposedly reducing performance to 733mhz (stock) eqivalent speed doesn't enable compatability with timing-sensitive games, then I'm not sure what the flying fuck its practical purpose actually is. I wish somebody would be willing to explain why OG xbox games are set up in a way that causes them to vary in speed depending on clockspeed and PC games are not. PC games just vary in performance/framerates. WTF? Why?

Just wondering if flipping it to halfspeed basically fixes the overspeed problems. I thought that's why the performance reduction circuit was used in the interposer design.

Indeed. Startech makes a statistically more reliable and solid product. You get what you pay for.

Thank you for the list of problem games. That will help me some on my cpu journeys. Do you have a halfspeed switch for your cpu?

LMAO, buddy. Just trying to understand why the feature is desirable/useful. That's all. I'm sure it must be for a reason or they wouldn't have implemented it. I don't want to be an ignorant tool so i'm trying to determine the reason instead of running with the assumption that it's pointless. You explained it well enough, marty.

"Flawless" as in, it avoids the potential issues a game might have operating out of some directory on the HDD, which it wasn't designed/intended/coded to do, and instead runs from a virtual optical drive for compatibility reasons?

I know. Read my previous posts in this thread regarding x3 use.

How popular or in-demand is iso use, as opposed to game directories, though? I know iso support makes it easier to download a game and copy it over and, thus, cutting out mulleter/qwix, but is that the only real benefit?

Anybody else ever have an issue with the GBA game saves? Pokemon in particular? The gamesaving has been very sporadic and unreliable and I've resorted to using savestates only... which makes me nervous. I've set the save type to "Flash" and to 128k, but this still does not fix the issue? Should I not even bother understanding this and move on with my life? I'm starting to think so. It just seems like a dumbass bug for such a well developed emulator, you know?

Although, if you're using this bios for the only thing that sets it apart from all the others (especially an X3 bios), which is 8TB HDD support, you're gonna have issues swapping between this bios and the X3 bios, so you'd have to commit to Cerbios if you want to use a HDD that fuckin' big. Unless there are other advantages to this bios that I'm not aware of.

Man, i'm pretty sure the x3 will boot anything. It's an xecuter 3. Lol. Then again, i don't know shit.

Is insignia even online yet?

Your Username is awesome.

Sweet jesus jelly. 16TB...

Kickass. Any noticable memory slowdowns from lowering the fsb to 100?

I think so, but it's like, usb 1.1, so it would be kinda slow. I still would like expanded usb support, since it would be a lot more convenient for certain situations.

Nice! This cpu is 1ghz and 133mhz fsb? Which model, specifically?

The cdda and wav files are the same bitrate. There's no logical reason why one format would struggle to load seamlessly while the other does not. The xbox is more than capable enough to play cd quality audio. Honestly, with my pound hdmi adapter tapping the 2.1 analog audio out, the audio quality rivals that of my vintage Sony Discmans... Which is saying something. It sounds AWESOME.

newest xbmc4xbox.

I like CDs. I will not stand for any audio with a lower bitrate than 1400Mbps. I have recently tried to rip my CDs in .WAV format, just because I want lossless encoding and playback of the files. However, when I try to play whole albums, instead of seamlessly transitioning into the next track, it will lag HARD and display the spinning "working" thing at the bottom of the screen. It will take 10-30 seconds to start the next song. However, if I just manually copy the .CDDA files off of the disc, the playback is seamless all throughout the album. It's perfect I haven't had my box connected to the internet, but I will soon. My question is, is there a way I can rip audio to the HDD in a format that will not have issues with seamless playback and in a way that will download all the CD info from a database when my box is finally connected? I mean, I guess I could wait for the internet and then manually find out through trial and error. But fuck that. If you guys have any experience in this, I would appreciate your input.

I like the multiple igr modes. Badass.

Hmmm. Debug consoles have 128mb of ram and you can't upgrade the 1.6's memory. Not sure how vital it is to debugging, but i'm sure there's a reason they made room for the overhead.

I actually thought of temporarily swapping lids with an identical hard drive for that purpose. Great minds think alike! I'll try it soon and let you all know how it went.

So the slightest bit of debris will cause a failure, basically? Okay. How about magnetism? Will it be more susceptible to corruption with metal missing from the shell? Or is that not the casing's purpose?
