I'm just curious from all of my fellow members how many people from a percentage stanpoint do you think give up because they get too frustrated? Secondly, tell me the stupidest question you have ever been asked regarding modding or backing up Xbox games. No names though...it's just fun when DJ Boogie shares his stories so I would love to hear from you. Thanks... Egg
I think that perhaps 50% - 60% give up because its 'too hard' and add another 10% that will just get their xbox modded when nextbox is released As far as stupid questions / comments are concerned there have been a few on xbox scene (although not asked directly to me) such as - Craxtion being a M$ sting opperation, reporting to M$ each game you back up with your ip address so they can track you down... And one guy asking what 'google' was - i believe the question was "whats this google?, is it a program like kazaa or bittorrent?
man if somone knows what kazaa and bit torrent is and has no clue what google is, they have issues. a stupid question asked here the other day was. "my xbox fip top will not fit on properly, why?" the guy had a ps2 flip to case and tried to put it on the xbox. also there was a question "how do i play my backup games with the mod chip off?" that was classic.
hey whats up eggbert?!, intresting thread you got going here.i say alot of people give up the first week, than, they realized they are not bill gates, and the fact that they dont know jack about the xbox kicks in, than, and only than is when they start searching and searching and start to freak out when they find out they need alot of knowledge to mod an xbox. we've seen the many repeated questions that pop up in here everyweek; but some guy a lil' while ago posted: "how do i install a fliptop on my xbox", that shit had me cracking up, i couldnt believe it someone actually posted that on the xbox forums, but there you have it, idiots are always trying to out do the next idiot, thats why i cant get enough of afterdawn.com _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Halo Special edition Xbox V7 Playstation 2 Plextor px-708A 8xdvd-/+rw.:: Tdk 420n 4dvd+r/rw[/small]
I think the "flip top install" thread takes top honors, too. I also have seen a few interesting posts where wording and grammer are not a consideration (as you can find at pretty much any forum, unless there's an english teachers forum somewhere ). Got this a few weeks back: "LIQIUD51 WHAT IS PM TRYING TO UNLOCK XXBOXX HD FOR PC". My reply: PM is private message and it's located next to every single one of my posts. funny
Hi eggy lol youre at it again hehehe hmm you know most my stories, dont wanna upset anyone that sees so I wont post some of the things people have asked me I think the best one I got though (I dont believe Ive seen him anywhere on the forum) Is one guy that wanted help, I helped him, he seemed like a very bright guy, a few days later , and this is NO LIE, after a lot of tutorials and instant messages later, he said "ohhhh, but I have a PS2! is it differnt?" I just stared at the screen for ages, lol I had been going through things with him for days, and he even said that he had a samsung drive etc!!! and was also thinking of putting a bigger hard drive in. So I said errrr, errr, ok, ummm well thats 4 days of my life wasted! lol hey liquid hehe I remember that one, funny! Theres a coupla guys that I chat to by private message, one guy was sorting someones console (actually I think it WAS a ps2) he had the console running for over an hour with the fan off, wondering why it no longer worked, hmmmmmmm. You gotta laugh though! I think people give up because theyre impatient, if they follow steps and not try to get ahead of themselves, its pretty rewarding, especially the first time you do a successful mod install , flash, apps etc btw egg I think youre onto something with your underwater xbox idea!! could sell one to spongebob! _X_X_X_X_X_[small]PC SPEC: XP 3000+ (overclocked) asus 2x fsb 400, 768mb ddr 2700, ati pro 128mb, pioneer a106 w/ hacked firmware XBOX SPEC: ver.1.2 with Xecuter 2.3-4983 bios,80gb hdd,Samsung sdg605,evox,xbmc,xbmp,dvdxr,xprogear, mame0x w/ 1,500 roms, kawax w/ 100 roms[/small]
Lots of people just give up even with people like us out there that offer lots of help in many different areas Some questions i have got are "Does the xbox have to be turned on in order to ftp it?" , "Do i have to take the retail hdd out in order to put a bigger hdd in" i did this guys ps2 (first one i did) and i guess i got the fan wire pinched in the cover. It was working when i left his house. He ran the ps2 for 2 days solid with no fan running
