Yes, but only with Linux and homebrew software. PSBBN checks the firmware of the HDD and Sony customizes the firmware of their HDD units. Until someone manages to crack the firmware and make it so you can put the changes on your own hard drive, you need an official HDD unit from Sony to use with games. Here's proof that the Sony HDD is just a relabled Maxtor hard drive. I've scanned my hard drive right here.

yes; if you have softmodde you xbox with e.g. unleashx you can go into the system settings an scroll right down and it sayes "copy games to hdd" See similar questions...

There advertisements are false. Currently the Neo 2 is the best solution available. If there was a better chip out there, we would sell it ourselves. See similar questions...

That depends entirely upon "how crashed" the drive is. But SpinRite is often credited with performing "true miracles" of data recovery. Please read some of the true-life SpinRite testimonials we have received to get a sense for what SpinRite has done and can probably do for you if you ever need it. It is obviously possible for a drive to be so totally dead that it is only useful as a door stop. But today's modern drives struggle to stay alive and to die slowly. See similar questions...

The Xbox CAN play PS1, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive\Genesis, etc. These are commonly referred to as 'Roms' See similar questions...

There have been scattered reports that many PS2 games aren't working properly with the PlayStation 3 in Japan, but firmware updates are being produced to alleviate these issues. Ultimately Sony's goal is 100% backwards compatibility, although we haven't yet seen a running compatibility list. See similar questions...

Sony has promised backwards compatibility with PS2 games, but now there is talk that the emulation required to pull this off might not be ready for launch. It's also unknown if all PS2 games will be playable on the PS3 if the do pull off this backwards compatibility. See similar questions...

Unfortunately, this is not possible as this will be in violation of the copyright terms of the background music that we used for the slideshow. Please wait for the CD to become available instead. I clicked on the other menu links of the movie (eg, About Parent's Wish, View Feedback, etc) but it did not open up those links. Please tell me that this isn't a film to defend the 'right to die' movement and euthanasia. See similar questions...

I have heard that it is possible to download Emus and Romz (snes, nes, sega, and on) and play them in xbox linux, now, is it possible to play PS2 games on a xbox running Linux? that is download the emulator and play ps2 from linux? I have heard it is possible but i have never seen it though. Emulators are for old generation games like GameBoy, Sega Genesis, NES, Super NES, N64, and the like. There isn't a good PS2 emulator available for a high end DESKTOP computer with a 2. See similar questions...

Almost all movies are encrypted with CSS copy protection. (See 1.11). Decryption keys are stored in a normally inaccessible area of the disc. If you copy the contents of an encrypted DVD to a hard drive, the keys will not be copied. If you try to play the VOB files, the decoder will request the keys from the DVD-ROM drive and will fail. You may get the message "Cannot play copy protected files". DVD production has two basic phases: development and replication. See similar questions...

Ans: A standard 40-wire IDE cable WILL work with ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100 or ATA-133 drives but it will only allow 33MB/s performance. However, it is recommended that you use an Ultra ATA 80-wire/40-pin cable no matter what your drive rating for several reasons: wire/40-pin cables offer improved data reliability and signal integrity by adding 40 more ground wires than standard 40-wire/40-pin IDE cables.

Yes, though you won’t be able to use your old controllers, memory cards, or other peripherals. The PS3 will upscale the PSOne and PS2 games’ video to HD resolutions, should you choose. See similar questions...

I imagine that most devices use simple bilinear filtering to upscale an image. The downside of this is softer edges. I think I’ve seen descriptions of algorithms that attempt to find hard edges in the source material and to preserve them after upscaling.

Windows communicates with the various devices in your computer using drivers. One of these drivers allows it to read the hard disk, which leads to an interesting chicken-and-egg situation: How does Windows read the hard disk in order to load the driver that allows it to read the hard disk? The answer is that during the very earliest part of the boot process, the hard disk is visible in a primitive way through the BIOS. See similar questions...

ZIF drive cables and connectors are very fragile, so take extra care when working with ZIF equipment. Currently there are two types of ZIF drives, one manufactured by Toshiba, and the other by Hitachi. Each manufacturer used a different cable specification for their drive interface. To image a Toshiba drive, connect the Tableau TC20-3-2 ZIF cable to the adapter label face-up. Then connect the cable to the Toshiba drive, positioning the drive label face-down.

Early Beige G3 machines (those with a "Rev 1" motherboard with an ATI RageII+ chip) do not support slave IDE drives. To use a second hard drive with this machine, you would have to attach it to the internal or external SCSI connector, use install a PCI IDE card. Later G3 machines do not have this limitation. See http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/IDE/index.html for more information. I have a revision A or B iMac. See similar questions...

No software of any sort can truly low-level format today's modern drives. The ability to low-level format hard drives was lost back in the early 1990's when disc surfaces began incorporating factory written "embedded servo data". If you have a very old drive that can truly be low-level reformatted, SpinRite v5.0 will do that for you (which all v6.0 owners are welcome to download and run anytime). See similar questions...
