Greetings,

If someone has the time to give me a refresher as its been 10+ years and I ain't getting any younger. I have an Xbox 360 Phat (Falcon) Though It has a flashed Drive, years ago I remember doing a Vampire hack on the drive to get the DVD Key and that drive Died shortly after, so I got a new one flashed the DVD Key and it sat, in the meantime I had a slim that i did a RGH on and forgot all about this Phat one. I am now wanting to Sell the Phat drive modded/unmodded I don't care honestly. Its in great condition looks new as it was barely used, but as i was Testing everything out I loaded in real discs and a couple DVDr's Halo 4 in particular asked me to update, I said no but got to wondering if I sell this console and someone does do an update and overwrites the Nand I think i recall that having the ability to Red Ring the system and i certainly wouldn't want that to happen to anyone.

So what is my Options? Can I remove the flashed firmware on the drive? (I do have an X360USB Pro still) Can I just flash it with a more recent firmware upgrade to the Drive? OR is there a Safe way to update the console to the last firmware? I apologize it's been so many years since I had touched a 360 and I can't remember all the details of this as I have not been in the loop for so long. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Wish I could offer help, I've never been crazy enough to kamikaze my Winbond chip, always done jtag and RGH to consoles.

If it helps the Current Dashboard on the System is 2.0.135990.0 I heard that in the 13xxxx line was the last Drive update so I don't know the specific one but if below it seems like i need to flash back to stock, if above update wouldn't hurt.... I'm guessing?

    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
