TheSpecialist's HDDHackr v0.90 - Adds Support for 120GB Drives!QUOTE TheSpecialist sent us the update of HDDHackr(info) many of you were probably waiting for. With the release of an official 120GB drive by Microsoft you can now use this tool to make your own 120GB Xbox360 HDD using a Western Digital Scorpio BEVS-LAT drive (that's a cheap (~80usd for 120GB) SATA 2.5" PC/laptop drive): QUOTE Attached is the latest version of the hddhackr. It works with the new 120 gb signature. However, this current version can not dump the hddss.bin file automatically from that drive, you'll have to manually dump sectors 16-22 with a tool like winhex and save them as 'hddss.bin'. After that, continue as normal with the hddhackr and everything will be fine.
Also, I'd like to stress that there are 2 versions of the WD BEVS drive out there: the 'RST' and the 'LAT' version. This tool currently ONLY supports the 'LAT' version ! You can find on the sticker of the HDD which version it is. I'll hope to be able to support the RST version of the drive in a future version of this tool.
so yeah, extreme modder, go crazy!

guess who's the psycho? Jack Thompson ordered to take psych test» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE An official on the Florida Bar (the law version, not the beer version) ordered that controversial Miami attorney Jack 'video games are evil' Thompson submit to psychological testing and accept a 91-day suspension of his law license. What does this all mean? All is explained inside.
According to a post on GamePolitics, Jack Thompson has emailed the site stating that he has been asked to undergo a psychological test and accept a temporary suspension. The claim has not yet been verified by the Florida Bar however. Tensions have been high between Thompson and the Florida Bar over the conduct of the controversial attorney. Recent cases relating to Grand Theft Auto and Bully have raised questions about the way the attorney goes about his business and with regards to his views on the gaming industry. A scheduled June 25th hearing involving Thompson and the Florida Bar was postponed. Meanwhile, mediation talks have taken place between Thompson and the Bar.
On Sunday Thompson cc'd gaming website GamePolitics an e-mail of what seems to be a filing with the Florida Supreme Court, which has jurisdiction over Bar disciplinary matters. In it Thompson writes of an ongoing attempt to mediate the dispute:
Mediation failed today because there was no mediation whatsoever... [Florida Bar official] Ms. Tuma not only did not move off her [suspension] demand one iota, not one smidgeon, but she instead upped her demand by requiring that Thompson undergo a battery of psychological tests as part of the fabulous deal The Bar offered him...
Ms. Tuma [sic] last demand going into the mediation was a 91-day suspension, and she opened and ended with that and a shrink's couch. This is bad faith...
This "mediation" was a charade... Finally, [Thompson] requests a status conference herein as soon as possible so that we can... shut this Star Chamber down. Thompson is not the one who needs a psych evaluation.
So basically the Bar and Thompson are locking horns over his conduct. The Bar has been criticised by Thompson for their handling of complaints against him, he currently has two federal lawsuits against them pending. The Bar has filed a motion to dismiss his claims. All sounds a bit messy to us. So whatever your views on Jack Thompson (if you're a fan of video games they are most likely not too favourable), it doesn't look like he's going to disappear any time soon. We'll let you know how this one pans out.

100 celcius???Fragile Part of Xbox 360? Thermal Design Expert InvestigatesQUOTE The Xbox 360's power was about 170 W when the DVD equipment was running. The temperature of emitted air was about 45C. A temperature gap with the room temperature (23°C) was 22°C. "When designing consumer products, it is common to seek a temperature gap of around 10°C between exhaust and room temperatures," the thermal design expert said. "The 22°C is quite a large gap, in the first place." The cooler fan's maximum wind speed was 1.1 m/s, only 1/2 to 1/3 compared with general desktop PCs. It may be partly because the fan rotation was reduced to lower noise. According to an expert's analysis, "The amount of switched air is slightly in short considering the chassis' size (309 x 258 x 83 mm3)."
To confirm the cooler system's performance, we measured the temperature of heat sinks. Attaching ends of a thermocouple to each heat sink for the microprocessor and graphics LSI, we closed the chassis and then switched on the Xbox 360. In only five minutes since we started playing the game, the temperature of the heat sink on the graphics LSI rose to 70°C. The thermal gradient was about 10°C/min. In 15 minutes, the microprocessor heat sink temperature stabilized at 58°C, but the heat sink on the graphics LSI rose to 80°C, 57°C above the room temperature. Assuming room temperature of 35°C in mid-summer, the gap is estimated to reach more than 90°C. In that case, the temperature of chips in the graphics LSI could exceed 100°C.
We measured the temperature in good cooling environments, removing dust and obstacles from the vent hole, for example. If the cooling performance lowers with the vent hole choked up or the duct moved over, the LSI's temperature could get even higher. This post has been edited by xxboxx: Aug 2 2007, 07:08 AM

dunno anyone mention this already or not. "Microsoft debuts Extenders for Windows Media Center, adds DivX and XviD"QUOTE Today Microsoft is announcing a reinvigorated Media Center Extender effort called... wait for it... Extenders for Windows Media Center. Ok, the name totally sucks, but the important part is Microsoft upgraded its wayward Extender system with a new version that takes full advantage of Vista (including live HDTV streaming), supports 802.11n, and adds something that really blew our mind: codecs we actually care about, namely XviD and DivX. Niveus, Linksys, and D-Link will all be launching new devices based on this software platform, so watch out for those -- as well as DVD players, TVs, and all manner of other home theater devices Microsoft is apparently trying to get this new system built right into. Unfortunately this new Extender rev isn't being announced for the Xbox 360 (yet), so we'll all have to wait a while longer before playing XviD and DivX movies on that thing -- without transcoding, anyway. if the extender come with the capability of playing divX & Xvid, i'm 99% sure the next dashboard update will also come with the update of playing divX & Xvid.
