I know nothing about unlocking... i didn't have a torx 20, so i smashed off the case, tore out the metal cover, and pretty much vandalised it. Now i have the drives out, although the DVD drive is of no use at all. If i plugged the drives back in it would work, but physically, it is destroyed.

I want to open my xbox and use the hard drive in another computer. I found a tutorial over at xboxscene, but it only says how to take the hard drive out. Can it be used in an ordinary pc, or will it only work on xbox? While I was there I noticed someone called 'yeshuachrist' posting in the BP style (but with better spelling). Is it BP?

Yes i saw your post before you rewrote it. Closing as requested.

Yes, there has been quite a few remarks on the supposed lack of ability of others lately. I think posting about it 50 times is too much. What you say might even be true - but once is enough. First warning BP.

It seems the only way to get the blog to work is to completely delete the existing blog and make a whole new one. Kinda sux if you ask me...

The poll results were not that clear cut. Only 35% said to ban. 26% said no ban. 38% offered no opinion. Still, the results have been noted. Earlier today (your time), I made a new set of rules here: http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8816 In it is a procedure for how we go about implementing account restrictions. Nobody is exempt, not even BP. Everyone starts at whatever their current warn level is. I won't ban him now, despite your pleas. However if he violates rules, he could end up getting himself banned. It's all about self-responsibility. So, we are at a new beginning, let's see what happens.

Due to recent activities, here are more specific rules for the XBOX section. I'll be fine tuning them for a little while. 1. Do not insult or abuse any other member, or the staff. This includes via PM or other means. 2. Do not badmouth the forum. Remember, you haven't paid for it, so you have no right to criticise it. 3. Do not link to competing forums, unless they are a 1emulation affiliate. 4. Stay on topic. Off topic posts will be removed. 5. Do not request roms, isos, etc. 6. You can post links to Videos, skins, wallpaper, etc. 7. You can post to homebrew/proto/never-released roms, as long as nobody could possibly lose money or raise an objection. You must remove the link after 2 weeks. 8. You can post links to emulators that run on the xbox. XBOX360 only: You must have used a fully-legal SDK. 9. We are not policemen. Thus, if you steal or use code without the author's permission, or break their licence provisions, you do so by your own actions entirely. 1emulation will not be involved in any legal actions, and will remain strictly neutral. You will be judged by your own actions for which YOU are fully responsible. If the rightful author takes you to court and wins, the issue ends with YOU - not us. 10. If an author contends that another person has stolen code, these 2 individuals may create a new thread and argue the matter publicly. Nobody else is to get involved. 11. No spamming. This includes unsolicited info about your latest project, causing a thread to go off topic. 12. What you do via PM is not public and is therefore none of our concern. However, if complaints are received of abuse, then you will be in violation of rule 1 above. Penalties: Your warning graph has 10 graduations, ranging from 0% (well behaved) to 100% (banned). Each infraction will get you an additional warning. Old warnings will be removed after about a year, at the staff's disgression. You can speed up this process by apologising and modifying your behaviour to an acceptable level. After a certain amount of warnings, moderators can prevent you from posting for a while, or forever. You can also be placed on Moderation, which means that nobody can see your posts until approved by a moderator. In extreme cases, you can be suspended, which effectively is a ban. If you create a second account to get around a restriction, all your accounts will be immediately suspended. Continued activities will earn an IP ban, followed by a complaint to your service provider. We hope that none of the above will be necessary, however it is all up to YOU. You are entirely and soley responsible for your actions here - don't bother trying to blame someone else.

Sharpfork, you have stumbled onto the tail end of a period of nastiness which should never have happened. I wish I could help you, but my experience of xbox is limited to the one my neighbour threw out and I rescued and it works, but I have no use for, and will be thrown out again in next weeks rubbish. There are a number of ppl who hate the place, hate each other, jealous of each other, but yet cannot actually go. I've had to ban 2 of them, and some of the others have seen the light and either behaved or left. However there is one or two who just won't let bygones be bygones, and keep stirring up the dust. As for your question, since nobody has actually helped you, I'd guess there is no answer for it. There is a stickied thread with a list of all emulators, perhaps one of them might do want you want.

You are right... this poll is silly stuff. Final vote: 42 votes 15 for 11 against The rest?

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Who is the owner? It seemed to be what he was doing. But you are most likely right. True. Honestly I'd rather not have to moderate that section; after all, the rest of 1emulation runs fine without intervention. It only requires that the members who post there could do so in a civil manner and follow the rules like everyone else. I'd probably just have a section for Sega, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Arcade, Other; and just merge all the subforums into these new ones. There isn't enough traffic to justify dozens of sections any more. Still, it isn't my decision, and I'm not expecting any change.

Posting to homebrews, protos etc is ok, as they were never sold in shops, or used in arcade machines. Nobody is losing money or ever would have. The poster should remove the link after 2 weeks though, as a precaution. Asking for roms is against the rules though. I have removed a few inapproprate links here and there. If you find more let me know (I don't read every post). A warning is when I give an official warning on your "Warn" graph. So far, this was just a gentle reminder, no official warning yet.

Error404, your first post was a direct quote from another site. I've added the original material source.

Haha what a joke. Waal spent all his time here abusing other members and rubbishing 1emu, then when I silenced him, he started abusing me via PM, so I stopped that. Then, from the reports I received, he setup his own forum and continued the rant. So, whatever he says, just trash it, put him on Block if necessary. Let me know if he PM's anyone else. His reason for wanting the XBOX forum shut down is so he can steal our xbox-owning members. While we have the forum we are a thorn in his side. Continue on please.

I'll excuse you because you are a noob, but it is against rules to ask for roms. Just letting you know.

Let's see where this goes... my trigger finger is itchy.

Thanks again fu

Please note the above website is dead, and the project is closed. The author is no longer involved with emulation. Thank you again for your time.

Only Miskie and GameCop can do it.

No longer a member of the staff, must have gotten GC to do it. Fascinating. Sparda, looks like you're in charge of the XBOX section now. Good luck.

OK.. one step at a time. 1. I am not robot (bad idea, that) 2. I downloaded the file then removed the link, anyone can PM to sparda. 3. Nobody has 'shut the project down', it still appears to be going, in a fashion. 4. Anyone can talk about your emulator, as long as its somewhat correct and trying to be helpful. I'm not going to stop fair & free speech. 5. If he wants to offer support, that's fine with me. Remember, no other author tries to censor talk on their emulators. Really, you must decide what you will do with coinops, in your own time, in your own way. I will not be stopping people talking about emulation, which is what this site is here for. Now let's move on.

I have already talked with Sparda and he has apologised and he is keeping his end of the bargain. So I ask that there is no more arguing about things, there is no point and it is a waste of all our time.

Stay on topic please, the arguing has gone to another thread.

I still pop in almost every day. Personally I still do emulation in MESS. But yeah, it's basically all over and done with, there's nothing (except the people) that make this place any better than any other place. btw the xbox drama is largely over, since I kicked out the 2 trolls that were abusing ppl and rubbishing 1emu.

Closed as requested.

Thx for the info
