Oh goodness, any console hackers remember the 'Kamikaze' trick to unlock Xbox 360 Lite-On drives to take it out of read-only mode?

@jiub @usernameswift I got my start modding my friends' PSPs at recess in elementary school for $10 a pop with a Pandora's battery and Magic Memory Stick :3
@maddy@is.redhairpale.skin @usernameswift@pleromer.net omg! that's grade school gold
gotta love school piracy rings lmao, shared so much pirated PC software when i was a kid -
@usernameswift@pleromer.net @maddy@is.redhairpale.skin the only console modding i've done is wii and 3ds modding because they're so easy to soft mod
-
@usernameswift @jiub AFAIK you can use any of the phat 360 DVD drives with 0800 firmware to rip game discs and use as general CD/DVD drive. If you don't need to rip game discs, I'd use a modern ASUS or LG drive instead as they tend to be good dumping drives (they work great with various tools used by the Redump project, and so on)

@usernameswift@pleromer.net @maddy@is.redhairpale.skin i've been meaning to do that too. i guess it's also pretty easy to softmod though i don't remember the details

@maddy Why would you do that
I will unfortunately have to decline that offer because I still use mine, but there must be some out there@usernameswift Because USB Mini fucking sucks, and the port had worn to the point it wouldn't keep a reliable connection if the cable got bumped during a disc dump. Pulled pads, so I either have to do trace repair or buy a new one.
Thank you anyway for humouring my query!

Thank you anyway for humouring my query!@maddy Pads are the fucking worst aren't they
I bricked my PSX trying to modchip it because one of the world's smallest pads decided to come off
I am glad that it is the era of USB-C now -
@usernameswift @jiub Yeah, still pretty easy to do these days from my understanding. Wonder if this site still works - wiiu.hacks.guide
Just be sure you take two backups of your eMMC. Those fuckers like to die. -

@usernameswift @jiub Had to be - my parents wouldn't let me get a job while in school, and they wouldn't just buy me cool shit when I asked xD

I am glad that it is the era of USB-C now@usernameswift Yuuuup. If I had a microscope and some good gear like I had at the repair shop, I'd love doing trace repair work like that. So satisfying seeing something deemed 'beyond repair' brought back to life with a little more patience and precision. -
