Holy Ownage Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 No one will avoid it, but you should prepare yourself mentally to a few things... 1) If your 360 is not modded...With older firmware (2D blades not involving 3D rendering) GPU was periodically cooling down each time you spent some time browsing the dashboard. Apparently, NXE uses 3D rendering a lots, so these cooling down phases will vanish. From a pure statistics point of view, prepare to 'feel' a rise in RROD's events.It seems people with 1st day launch consoles will go beyond the 3 years warranty the day NXE will pop up.So prepare yourself to get a RROD, sell broken 360 on ebay (a few talented people seek them and manage to revive them for little profit) and purchase a new one. I guess all 360 games lovers finally accepted the 360 fatalities, so it's not big deal. Just an increase of RROD event probability. 2)If your 360 is modded...It's the perfect time to water cool your 360, before installing NXE.I've done it and it's over-efficient (just doubles the cost of console)You can expect temperature to stay below 55 degrees Celcius (even playing Dead Rising in summer). Trust me, it's a dream. Well worth the effort. Combined with x5 drive firmware, it's wonderful silence! 3)If your 360 is modded and you removed R6T3 resistor...When NXE is installed, your 360 will be bricked (detects efuse not blown up).Before installing NXE, do this :- solder back resistor (or any 10K resistor)- reflash 1888 (each time you change kernel, dump it, reflash it, store it safely)- upgrade to vulnerable kernel 4532 (each time you upgrade, 1 efuse goes)- upgrade to a few kernels above that (using original games, not backups)- now you are ready to install NXE with LDV>0 (number of efuses blown up)- NXE will be happy to blow up one more efuse, and things will be ok. To flash back to older firmwares (never connect to live with older firmwares because X: changes, and anyway you should never connect to live with a modded console...) edit your current dump with robinsod's flashdumptool to see what is your current LDV value, then edit the older dump to write the same value so it will be accepted by your console. Caution about NXE however. It seems this firmware will extend to hard disk or memory card. It would be wiser to keep HDD or memory card together with your NXE firmware dump. If you reflash older firmware and do a change in HDD or memory card then, when you reflash NXE firmware back, NXE could detect that change and find it offending then... who knows what could happen... Still... Have fun with NXE...(once you are mentally prepared for bad luck events)...A moderator at xbox-scene.
SmokiestGrunl Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 You would think that if something was going to cause more RRoD they wouldn't release it. Then again they may want people to get a RRoD because some are silly enough to buy another.
Korupt Data Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 My advice would be.. dont sign into xbox live after the nxe its released.... the nxe sux. >.> it might look good but its not worth getting.
Slidell Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 What do you mean it's not worth it. I enjoy xbl thats the only way I can keep in touch with my friends in SC.
Korupt Data Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 What do you mean it's not worth it. I enjoy xbl thats the only way I can keep in touch with my friends in SC.Lol its only my opinion it takes a while to get used to... and i rather have my old dash back.
SmokiestGrunl Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Lol its only my opinion it takes a while to get used to... and i rather have my old dash back. You should be able to choose.
Slidell Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah but then they wont satisfy there ego with stoping modders,until we find away around it.
Mcmodder♥ Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 i dont think so Microsoft is not that gay and stupid LOL
Holy Ownage Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Posted November 20, 2008 I may not love it, but I sure do enjoy it.Its surprisingly easier to navigate then the old menu's, and the party feature is a win. Wonder how long till Sony catches on with the bandwagon again though.
Random1225 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 The avatars are sick and the party feature kicks ass. So it's pretty cool but it freezes for me sometimes.
Korupt Data Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Lol maybe thats why i dont like it very much... i havent been able to go on xbl with it yet.
