The reason I havent been about lately ;)

[pootas]

Nah I used command here tool to open comman prompt window where the batch file was located...

 

[Oggy]

I know its sorted, did you use ---> Start->Run--> cmd?

You dont need to go into pclsci at all, when at

C:\xxxxxx\79 unlock

type

unlock X

you will get a device IO error, thats it unlocked.

 

[pootas]

Hmmm....I tried that but just got command not found....I'll try it again if I get another 79 to do...I'm still amazed how it's been figured out at all!! Some very clever people about...

 

[Oggy]

Command not found or similar means you typed it wrong.

 

[pootas]

Well there seems to be a bit of confusion over what the command is...

Here it says:

6. Run the the command in a command window
Unlock79 h
// where h is the drive letter of the 79

but later it says

modeb with slax

Play WAV

play then pause WAV

run 79unlock X

Use toolbox.


And others are saying unlock (drive letter)

X is a generic term for an unknown.

I worte the second bit

 

[pootas]

Yes I know that....But look at the differing commands given

1. unlock79
2. 79unlock
3. unlock (drive letter)

The guide was podgers notes, the command is 79unlock X

Cheers for clearing that up...I'm glad it worked at all!!! Just Lite-Ons to suss out and then MS are on the back foot again!

 

[Oggy]

less than 2 weeks I reckon

 

[pootas]

If it was it would be epic...Considering the Lite-On hasn't be around that long in the 360's it would takes months for MS to implement a new drive and for that to hit stores...Means a lot of happy ppl...

 

[smirnoff_rules]

but they might go on the banning spree again .. anyway might get an elite now then with hdmi now ( old one lol)

Considering upgrading aswell mate, if the Lite-on thing comes to pass.

 

[pootas]

Is there actually much difference between component and HDMI??

 

[Oggy]

I think component doesnt support 1080p

no but its looks cleaner (have to many wires) lol .. been offered elites in the pass and because of the 79 turned them down .. not now lol

 

[witchy]

I'm using a 360<>VGA adapter on mine, picture is mint on my TV and it's native Res is 720p, but I can't help feel that I'm missing out coz I've not got a real HDMI port on my 360.

lol

Yeh i think I'll swap my mate his elite for my premium and a few games...Do like the thought of less wires!!
