Onknight Posted September 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, nikeymikey said: The Action Replay/Maxdrive works perfectly to get the softmod files and exploit game saves to your console. You are not using it for a different purpose than what it was designed for at all. It was designed for transferring games saves to and from a pc and xbox, either regular saves, downloaded hacked "cheat" saves from the AR website or even the exploited softmod saves. It doesne matter which, they are all just game saves as far as the AR/xbox are concerned. I tried the Action Max in VR and it did work tried install windows XP and non my Computers will Boot from the CD I have old XP but no Power cord lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sorry I'm just not willing to spend any more money Especially with the exchange rate that $6 is 10 CND plus shipping I've just gotten to the point where I just don't want to spend another dollar So I'm going to put the thing up on Amazon and get rid of it I'm nearly 250.00 in and that's enough Edited September 3, 2019 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will also need an 80wire ide cable to make it all work properly. Sounds like a lot but could be cheaper than the 500gb IDE.... if you can even find one!!!!

slycooper124 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Plus, you will get more life out of a new hard drive with an SATA to ide adaptor tha. An old 500gb ide hdd. Also you will need a long 80wire ide ribbon cable, I reccomend this one, I used this type for years. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F111758773275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycooper124 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 You will need to also go on YouTube and find a video that shows you exactly how to fold the cable so you can properly close the lid on the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already did Found A Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB 3.5" WD5000AAKB IDE Hard Drive 1195 on Ebay for 22.00 The reason I don't want to go with IDE to serial adapter Is this one more thing that can break I want to keep this as close to stock as possible Will still adding space This driver's lockable it will do the job Yeah I'm limited to 500 GB I have 60tb server like an FTP games on and off as needed no reason to go bigger Edited September 4, 2019 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Nice one! I gave up tracking them down as all I could find were used ones and I don’t trust them I have a 2Tb sata with the entire Xbox library crammed into it Edited September 4, 2019 by nikeymikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slycooper124 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Let's hope the drive last for awhile since the manufacture date on it says april 2009. That's a 10year old drive, in the technology world it might as well be 50 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Lol I remember when 500gb was considered a huge overkill!! @Onknight is that a used drive or is it new?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
