  1. I was gonna make a new topic asking if anyone remembered the RocketBoard. And I didn't want to dig mine out, so I tried to search for a picture of it since I got mine for free new when it came out. But then I realized now that I guess not everyone got a free one cause the company that was making them kinda went a bit crazy or something (didn't get a full story, just a paragraph on a website, didn't do enough research yet). So I grabbed mine from the bin it was in, took it out of it's box (which I saved, unless it was from another keyboard), and got a crappy pic of it from my crappy ZTE Phone. I only thought of it cause I saw a video of Linus wanting a Snipping Tool key, and remembered the shortcut keys I had on my Rocketboard. Edit: If anyone wants a bigger more detailed picture, I can get out my tripod, lighting, and 6MP Camera.
  2. I guess I still don't fully understand SCSI, I've looked on Wikipedia, and I've compared it to SATA and other formats, and I still don't fully get it. I guess from what I've read it's in some ways better than SATA, but is also more costly, thus less used. But what exactly makes it better?
  3. yeah, it's just a few thousand hours of gameplay over the past 7-8 years...
  4. I got a Wireless Receiver for Windows many years ago from Amazon for what I remember being Cheap, looked up the listing and it's still like $15! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAS1WDG/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_DjGSAbEJW1D9B Anyone know if this would work with the Steamlink? (I'd assume since it's a USB Device, that it might?) Otherwise, all I could suggest is buying a Wired Controller from Gamestop or the like...
  5. So last summer, during a normal rainstorm, my basement room got some flooding through a closed locked window wherein the Window Well filled up and gushed through the cracks. My Computer survived, but my Xbox 360 S (sometimes called the Slim) definitely got alot of water in it (poured alot out of it). I was able to get Silica Gel (normally used for Flower Preserving) to use as a "Rice Bath" to draw the moisture out of the Console and the Power Brick over the course of a week. After attempting to plug in the Power Brick, I noticed the light on the Brick wasn't lighting up, and since then I haven't even looked into getting another Power Brick to test the console (don't have my own car, have limited mobility, time passed, I got hospitalized, life happened). However, if I could find some way of recovering the Save Files from the Internal 4gb Flash Memory, I wouldn't have to start over on many RPGs that I haven't even totally completed yet. And recently I saw the Drivesavers Data Recovery Tour video, and it inspired me to question the idea of Data Recovery from the Internal Flash Memory should the console in fact be dead. Google has failed me, Youtube has failed me, I can't seem to find any reliable source of information on how one might go about recovering the data from that device, or even reliable information about it beyond "replacement" listings on Amazon. From what I can see from the Amazon Listings, it seems there is a connector on the PCB to attach it to the motherboard, but I can't make out how one would use that connector to attempt to retrieve the data without attaching it to another Xbox 360S Console. In the mean time after my Xbox "may have died", I did get a replacement Xbox 360E Console from Half-Price Books for about $30, but they changed the connector for the Power Brick (and I assume possibly also the voltage). So no go on testing the old console with that Power Brick, and it seems Power Bricks for the Xbox 360S run for about $30-$40, which if my Xbox is dead, isn't worth me dishing out for. And with my bad ankle I can't just walk to Hi-Score Video just to go ask if I can test out my dead Xbox.
