Prefer if there was someone in SE Suburbs that can do it.. my mate did it to his but ive got this newer dvd drive its a BenQ which is reaaaaaaaally complicated to do so i'd prefer to pay to get it done properly..

My Technician at work can do it for you.

PM me for details. :blink:

In order to make backup copies you will need a DVD Burner that if capable of having its ROM flashed to a certain standard (forget what it is) to allow for backing up.

I recommend Cavern Imports. Ive used them before for my PS2. My mate recently had them alter his XBox 360 and they provided him information on which Burner to buy, etc. I believe they have a couple of locations. One we have used is in Boronia Mall.

DogKnight: Really? My mate flashed his himself, and he says when he wants to make backups of originals u need to go through a whole procedure, but im just going to be using image files and burning them onto Dual Layer discs most likely and that works fine he says.. Cavern Imports looks good they charge $85 but thats quite a long way away from where i live

(00)SKYLINE(00): Its Xbox360 not at a Wii ;) serial number looks nothing like that one u said..

Do they still have those stalls at Carribean Gardens that could do it?

This one looks good http://www.acegamestore.com/product.aspx?B...p;ProductID=503 Its $60 plus whatever it costs for me to shit it to them, and that includes them shipping it back insured so hmmm..

If you do it, be careful if you currently use Xbox Live. It doesnt like it. My mate and I experimented with switching hard disks, sign in ID's etc to test after he had his done.

Incidently, mine is for sale if anyone is interested. Shameless plug I know but includes 2 controllers, 1 remote, PGR3 game and very minimal playing time. Have the original box too. ;)

saff_cossie: Apparently they havent cought out the iExtreme v1.4 firmware on xbox live yet but hmmm.. i still got like 3 weeks left on my free trial so i'll give it a go.. if i get banned then meh...

krzysiu: thanks for that ill get him to do it coz damn $50 is cheap plus its only a 10 min drive :)

Ahh ok my bad i misread it.. Im just gonna go to this guy in Springy so its close by and only $50... I just cant wait to play GTA4 tomorrow night :)

Dual layer discs are like $3.50 each and most people are putting the games up for like $10 so no use buying them if its gonna cost so much, most i'd pay is $5 each for a game to be honest

Yeah man he is alright. He chipped my wii :)

Yeah you could probably flash it yourself. However I think whe Cavern do it they put some sort of warranty on it. Also if they f**k it up they need to fix it. If you f**k the flashing up, then you have an expensive doorstop.

Jamie, ill check the serial number tonight, thanks.

Exatly.. goes with any console tho, thats why i'd rather pay $50 then fck around with opeining it and playing around with all these parts im not familiar with..

If any1 needs their wii modded I can also organise. Should also have a couple of fully modded/pimped put brand new Wii's in the next couple of weeks, throw me a PM if your interested (another shameless plug :P )

Cosmo, make sure your careful in which images u select to burn/play on your 360. Look it up, u know vital info like making sure u dont play leaked games till their official region release, checking the image with mulleter, etc. Just small lil precautions should keep your live account alive longer.

Saff, how much u want for the 360? Looking for an R&D machine.

Man im going nuts here i got it done from that guy in springvale, i borrowed 2 backup's from my mate that he did from renting them at Blockbuster.. anyway they keep coming unreadable disc! Rang the guy back up like wtf it dont work but works on his.. he said its because the games have to be stealthed to be undetectable on xbox live or they dont work.. Mulleter showed me it aint stealthed so yeah guess ill have to find it to download..

Yeah well GTA4 will be finished in about 30 mins so that seems to be pre-stealthed (http://www.abgx.net/filename/?ch=6).. But i dont plan to plug in to xbox live until its officially released because yeahh not out for another week or so.. I dont care as much about live im just dieing to play GTA4 thats why i rushed down to get my xbox flashed this afternoon!

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
