Mine didn't show the partitions at first...I just reformatted through the xbox and it worked the second time though. No need to hexedit the BEVS drive.

I think that's what they all forgot to do, you have to format the drive in the 360 first.

Just real quick, I've been preparing to do this mod for a while. In fact, I was the first to post the directions on the first page but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

There are a lot of pages to read so does anyone mind just listing the game saves that don't work after this mod and if there is a solution to it? I saw the list of games that do work, I just wanna know if any of mine won't work.

Yep, i did mention it a page back i think.

Rock Band 2 doesn't work either. Says something about an invalid storage name, so i guess transferring it will work. I have to wait till i can get my hands on a memory card before i can transfer them.

Also i've noticed PGR4 installed the hard drive has an audio bug, in some races with more than one car the car engines sound distorted and at the end of the race the music slows down. It isn't a big thing as the game is still perfectly playable.

Does the Official 120 GB drive come with the transfer cable or do you have to buy one?

Even though it went against my own personal beliefs as I still think it is a huge rip off, I asked for one for X Mas since I was not paying for it. :p

I know my wife will be getting it for me, so just wanted to know if I should call MS now for the cable if I have to or if it just comes with one.

Pretty sure when you buy the standalone hard drive then you get the cable with it, however when you buy an elite you can ring MS and order a free data cable.

i can confirm that the 120 GIGS comes with a transfer cable since I4ve bought one.

False. Of course we formatted the drive, otherwise it would be unusable by the 360 anyway, not to mention it wouldn't be picked up by the program.

Besides, it's just not possible to do this mod without the format since you need to enter the console serial ID into the hard drive via format. I don't think it's possible to hex-edit and magically not have to do the format.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
