Hey guys, Not so car related but does anyone know where i can get my xbox 360 flashed to play backups and how much would it cost? Prefer if there was someone in SE Suburbs that can do it.. my mate did it to his but ive got this newer dvd drive its a BenQ which is reaaaaaaaally complicated to do so i'd prefer to pay to get it done properly..

Anyone know?

Thanks

My Technician at work can do it for you.

PM me for details. :blink:

In order to make backup copies you will need a DVD Burner that if capable of having its ROM flashed to a certain standard (forget what it is) to allow for backing up.

I recommend Cavern Imports. Ive used them before for my PS2. My mate recently had them alter his XBox 360 and they provided him information on which Burner to buy, etc. I believe they have a couple of locations. One we have used is in Boronia Mall.

DogKnight: Really? My mate flashed his himself, and he says when he wants to make backups of originals u need to go through a whole procedure, but im just going to be using image files and burning them onto Dual Layer discs most likely and that works fine he says.. Cavern Imports looks good they charge $85 but thats quite a long way away from where i live

(00)SKYLINE(00): Its Xbox360 not at a Wii ;) serial number looks nothing like that one u said..

Do they still have those stalls at Carribean Gardens that could do it?

This one looks good http://www.acegamestore.com/product.aspx?B...p;ProductID=503 Its $60 plus whatever it costs for me to shit it to them, and that includes them shipping it back insured so hmmm..

If you do it, be careful if you currently use Xbox Live. It doesnt like it. My mate and I experimented with switching hard disks, sign in ID's etc to test after he had his done.

Incidently, mine is for sale if anyone is interested. Shameless plug I know but includes 2 controllers, 1 remote, PGR3 game and very minimal playing time. Have the original box too. ;)

saff_cossie: Apparently they havent cought out the iExtreme v1.4 firmware on xbox live yet but hmmm.. i still got like 3 weeks left on my free trial so i'll give it a go.. if i get banned then meh...

krzysiu: thanks for that ill get him to do it coz damn $50 is cheap plus its only a 10 min drive :)

Ahh ok my bad i misread it.. Im just gonna go to this guy in Springy so its close by and only $50... I just cant wait to play GTA4 tomorrow night :)

Dual layer discs are like $3.50 each and most people are putting the games up for like $10 so no use buying them if its gonna cost so much, most i'd pay is $5 each for a game to be honest

Yeah man he is alright. He chipped my wii :)

Yeah you could probably flash it yourself. However I think whe Cavern do it they put some sort of warranty on it. Also if they f**k it up they need to fix it. If you f**k the flashing up, then you have an expensive doorstop.

Jamie, ill check the serial number tonight, thanks.

Exatly.. goes with any console tho, thats why i'd rather pay $50 then fck around with opeining it and playing around with all these parts im not familiar with..

If any1 needs their wii modded I can also organise. Should also have a couple of fully modded/pimped put brand new Wii's in the next couple of weeks, throw me a PM if your interested (another shameless plug :P )

Cosmo, make sure your careful in which images u select to burn/play on your 360. Look it up, u know vital info like making sure u dont play leaked games till their official region release, checking the image with mulleter, etc. Just small lil precautions should keep your live account alive longer.

Saff, how much u want for the 360? Looking for an R&D machine.

Man im going nuts here i got it done from that guy in springvale, i borrowed 2 backup's from my mate that he did from renting them at Blockbuster.. anyway they keep coming unreadable disc! Rang the guy back up like wtf it dont work but works on his.. he said its because the games have to be stealthed to be undetectable on xbox live or they dont work.. Mulleter showed me it aint stealthed so yeah guess ill have to find it to download..

Yeah well GTA4 will be finished in about 30 mins so that seems to be pre-stealthed (http://www.abgx.net/filename/?ch=6).. But i dont plan to plug in to xbox live until its officially released because yeahh not out for another week or so.. I dont care as much about live im just dieing to play GTA4 thats why i rushed down to get my xbox flashed this afternoon!

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
