Did they put in support for 1680x1050 or did that get cut from the final version?

It's in there, but 1900x1200 is not, sadly.

lol I didn't want to go that way. I wanted to wait for the 'official' release.

Well that's entirely up to you, only a few hours to go =)

Great, I'm seriously considering getting a 360 now that my resolution is supported. If anyone is using 1680x1050 let me know how it looks and how much space the bars take up.

What is your source on this claim? I understand that the update itself is free, but I'm still wary of getting banned.

As mentioned previously, it's identical to someone with the NXE (legitimately) plugging their HDD into your system. That's bound to have happened accidentally in plenty of places, so MS wont ban anyone. They specifically stated this and said not to do it because nobody would be able to access live UNTIL the 19th.

Kushan i ****ing love you dude.

I just got NXE ftw!.

They took off the bandwith cap becuase it took maybe 15 seconds on a 10 meg connection to download the update.

AMAZING.

Now I can offically say I got it early and am VERY happy. Time to install my long list of GAMES!

GOW2 first FTW!.

Btw, this is how the tech made us "unbrick" my friends bricked 360. allthough it was rollbackupdate 5....

The update is going to happen later tonight. The time conversion between PST(?) dont know if thats it or whatever timezone they are at is way behind us. im on CST and its 1216 with no udpate. But im happy kushan posted this ebcuase I now have 2 games installed. Halo3 and GOW2.

Yes theres no benefit from HALO3, but, me being a dumbass, moved my 360 with the game in it before i sent it to microsoft, and my old dvd drive, put a outer ring on it. Its so neat you cant tell its a rnig until you look.

ATM NXE did not except the disc, so i put some 'disc healing fluid" that you get with a $2 cheap fix your cd kit, and i rubbed it hard, and it barely passed but took 20 mins to install halo3. GOW2 was done in 5 minutes flat.

Thanks to my new xbox 360(sent me a new one back with better dvd drive, can handle games better thou) and kushan for the update.

@Kushan:

Btw, the dumbass friend crashed his lappy, this weekend im gonna restore it get that notepad file and send you the link.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
