Yes

Does it run on Windows 7? I don't own it, but perhaps I should if it does.

yeah

I just fully redeemed myself after miserably failing at softmodding an xbox several years ago. I just softmodded my first xbox. I couldnt be happier!

Hey, also, does anyone know why my xbox hdd partition F is not used on my softmodded box? Says I have 0mb free. On my other xbox, I can use it to store games. Both are original hdds and my original modchipped xbox is v1.0 while the softmodded is 1.6.

NVM, got it, I just needed to format the F drive.

[XZodia]

How do you format the F drive and how much space does it give you? I thought you needed to put a bigger hdd in to use it?

[xxpenguinxx]

If you have the 10GB Seagate HDD you'll get 2Gb of space for the F drive.

I'm using the stock hdd in my xbox--8gigs or so--and I went into my UnleashX dashboard-->System-->Format Menu-->Format F drive

This game me 2.134gbs of more space.

Xzodia, I was looking to find a copy of Halo 2 Vista, and the lowest price on amazon is $75, wtf. Whats up with that?

[xxpenguinxx]

Frys has it for $20.

[XZodia]

or get it used from amazon, for $25-$25

[DoorM4n]

I tend to question used games that require serial numbers. I figured I'd avoid the hassle. BUT penguin, you totally saved the day man! Thanks for the link!

Anyone following the Gumball 3000? The racers flew in to my local airport this morning before driving to Edinburgh, so I got to see them all =)
Highlights: Bugatti veyron, 2 Lamborghini's and Deadmau5's Ferrari

[Click16]

That's really cool XZodia

Halo CE, 2, 3, 4 all in one on Xbox One Nov 11. 1080p and 60 fps.
Too bad I have no plans to own an Xbox One... Not sure I could stand to play H2 unmodded anyway. But I would enjoy it if I had the opportunity.

Saw it on news today.

[neodos]

This game, my dream game!

Wow, that looks very relaxing to play. Did you ever check out Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet? It's also a more exploration-oriented game with strong art design, although it is certainly more linear than what No Man's Sky looks like.

[DoorM4n]

I've been keeping tabs on No Man's Sky over the year. I cant wait until its out. It looks amazing!

[XZodia]

Thats awesome.

Got these PCB's done just about 5 minutes ago. (PCB = Printed Circuit Board)
The two PCB's on the left are one circuit: it's a Control Board used to automate a water pumper.

The one on the right is a Traffic-Light simulator using MOC optoisolators and TRIAC's.



Also, getting my degree on Electronics @ August 8th

[JacksonCougar]

Ever since I discovered you could deep fry in a skillet I have been so happy. and fatter.

Turned out pretty well :3

Geez, your last post was only back in September 2012.
Well, time to get sucked back in...

Is the Pot just for timing speed?

Yeah, the clock signal comes from the 555 chip (the one with 8 pins), which then triggers the integrated circuit with 16 pins (which is a CMOS CD4017B, a decade counter). Outputs of 4017 chip are connected to the diodes which some of them are common-cathode connected, whose activate MOC3010 optoisolators and trigger TRIACs. That way, I'm using 3 clock cycles to turn on Green light, 1 for Yellow and 3 for Red light. The reset pin of 4017 IC is connected to output 7. So the counter goes up to 7 and resets back to 0, turning on Green light again and cycle repeats.

Haha I gotta say that circuits and that stuff is probably my least favorite thing in computers(that PCB reminded me of my class in college). I fucking hated digital design and organization. Boolean logic and arithmetic in circuitry was a fucking bitch, mostly cuz I just didn't care, it was not my cup of tea.

Happy part: I don't have to deal with that shit again
