Me again, sorry! I’ve noticed that my copy of OutRun2 has an issue where the music track, regardless of which one I choose, will randomly start to stutter or skip … like a scratched CD would when played in a HiFi (remember those!?). One other quirk is that when I select the left road after the first stage and cross the checkpoint, all the cars and basic backgrounds are there (the sky) … but there’s no road. It’s floating cars and trees. This lasts for … 2 seconds at most then everything clicks back into place, but further on the audio track will randomly stutter. When I run the game in my 360 Elite, it’s fine. All my other games play fine bar one, and have no audio issues, but I’m definitely going to soft mod this thing in the coming days, I’ve got Splinter Cell coming. I’ve also found out that this Xbox does not like my copy of Half Life 2. It reads it, shows me the black Xbox logo/splash screen then stays there. The disc works fine in my 360 Elite. It was suggested to me on Twitter it could be a tracking issue due to dryness of the gears/rails with age, and that cleaning both and applying some Lithium Grease may help. The drive hasn’t seen a lot of use, so I don’t think it’s “dying” but it does need a little TLC. Anyone have any other advice or expertise to help me with? Cheers!
