Sony Tool and Original Xbox dev kit

That is brilliant and I'm ashamed to have never thought of it! Thank you for educating me.

 

If the Xbox logo comes up (BIOS) but then it goes black doesn't that usually mean something is wrong with the hard drive?

 

Nope.

 

As APE said, nope. A harddrive error would usually blink on the front of the console, and usually gives an error. No video could be a number of things, most not so serious (wrong video mode)

 

Yea could be the video mode. Like the 360 we have a button combination we use to chage the region.

 

The issue is accidentally hitting the wrong button and potentially losing data, especially for someone who doesnt know exactly whats going on or whats on it. hence why I recommend just putting it on a network and figuring that out first.

 

Yea that would be good to FTP the data first.

 

alrighty!

I got it up and running lol, basically i was using a madcatz RF cable to get picture for the thing (maybe that rf was crap)
today i went and got an actual AV cord for it and here's what happened

i bought a controller too and sob, didn't have that small part it needs to connect to the xbox system >.> ugh maybe tomorrow

 

Ah so its been modified, always fun. I'd be curious to know if it was done after the fact or not. Still a chance that there is something on the drive, but strange

 

That is better. XBMC can go through everything on the hard drive, maybe something is still there.

 

Is it possible to write a data recovery program for FatX? Ive got an idea on how, and especially for some 360 kits a friend of mine has. Damm i should find time to program. Goodluck Skapunk

ps(Yeah I know there is no real FAT, and files identification can only be done on raw data or sector base analysis or something.)

 

just got home and got that little cable to use a controller - heres more screen shots

 

Also just picked this up - saw psx on it and just grabbed them haha
are these worth anything?

 

Anything in E:/Devkit in terms of games?

 

this stuff:

 

Ah so no games, thats a shame

 

yeah those are all recovery samples xD those manuals arent really worth anything tbh they just explain how to code for the emoition engine in the ps2

 

when i saw the manuals, i was like woah!
and looking for more ps2 stuff.... but only that was the table

thanks for the info

 

The manuals are really quite random what they go for. There have been complete sets for sale over the years that didn't go for much, but some that went for more (exact numbers I can't recall). Worth putting up on Ebay.

 

if you feel like parting with the PS2 books for a cheap price, im semi interested
dont really run into 2nd edition everyday, my full set is 5th
