I doubt you will be up to the task, and I'm going to say that the software won't run on a Mac.
yeah you would be right, i think i will stick to buying the like 8 Exclusive games that are even GOOD on the console

If you're talking about the PS3 now, it might be a good idea to start a fresh thread in the appropriate section.Quote:

If you've got a model that doesn't require much in the way of special tools etc to extract drive firmware then you could look at a usb loader solderless kit (like x360key for example).
Other kinds of mods may work fine, but if you get something like this then it's an investment that can used on another console if anything goes wrong with the first console you install it on.
But this is just my opinion...I don't mind shelling out some cash for something I can easily install myself and then reuse later on (if needs be).
Truth. Not epic games, but free.Quote:

If this is not acceptable, delete my post but... , if you have a white one I will flash it for $10 plus shipping on you.
Edit: I actually LOL'd when I read "without opening it"
I take it you'd never encountered the 9 series LiteOn drives in the fats then, the ones that require soldering to extract the DVD key. In fact, the 8 series v2 drive needs the same treatment. You must have only ever come across the ancient Samsungs, Hitachis and BenQs? :DQuote:

RGH = Games off USB, homebrew (emulators, etc.), arcade games, etc etc.
Flashed system = burning discs. :yawn:
I actually haven't encountered any drives in the Phat systems that I couldn't handle. I was unaware. Only drives I thought the phat had were hitachis, Lite-ons, Samsungs, and ben-Q's. I have a lite-on 9 series in mine. All you need for the lite-on is a probe. Executer probe V. 2 in fact. About $10 bucks. No need to solder anymore. You just touch the probe to the solder point and it extracts the key. Quick and easy.
I think you're getting mixed up with the 7 series of drives.
The 8v2/9 series require something called the "MRA" hack which involves cutting of traces and whatnot on the board to extract the DVD key.
I could be mistaken. The version 1 probe needed the mra hack. The second version probe was capable of getting the key without any need to solder. It was the PMT (Pogo Mo Thoin?) probe. The first probe even came with a special piece to do the MRA hack. I am pretty sure of this, but again maybe not.
Interesting. I haven't given any thought or done any research into 360 modification since 2010. It's starting to show, shit's changed in the last (almost) 3 years. :shrug:Quote:
