    I lost my PGR2 save when my first X Box crapped out on me, and it was kind of refreshing to play through the single player again. This time I actually beat platinum too (my first save I was about 3/4's throug), and it was in far less time than it took me the first time.

  2. Tecmo and Team Ninja make non-exportable savegames on purpose.I can't remember their descision for doing this though. It is possible to resign the save to your new xbox though. You should have modded it on day 1 then you could have made backup of the savegames folders

    Well that's like, your opinion, man.

  4. I recently had to get a new XBox. My old box just staring clicking and wouldnt even load the menus. Goodbye saves, goodbye hours and hours of soundtracks.
    I really like the hardrive still. If the next systems dont have HD they better have those 1 gig mem sticks.
    Korly-"Everyone here is an asshole, SURPRISE!"

  5. MZO, Did you get an error code screen? If you did, then what was the number in the upper left corner of it? I had an error and my light flashed red,green,red,green. I was on xbox scenes web site and they explained the error code numbers. Hope this helps.

  6. I really don't understand the whole locking game saves so they can't be copied BS

    thats pretty lame
    Where I play

    Neither can I. I can see connecting a save file to an Xbox Live account (For, say, PSO or Ninja Gaiden), but completely locking something like DOA Xtreme Beach Vollyball? That's just stupid.

  8. Situations like this are why I think First party Memory Cards (good quality flash memory) will always > Hard drives for console saved games.

    For game saves, you need three things:

    1. Reliability of the saves themselves. (no corruption)

    2. Reliability of the device itself (HD = moving parts, Flash memory = no moving parts)

    3. Portability (so you can take your saves anywhere - like to your new system when the first one dies -_-)

    Lets hope next time (Xbox 2), they forget the hd and give you a LARGE memory card
    :-) (with no copy protection)


  9. Have you tried the hammer technique? It works for fax's and photocopiers. It may work here if you're lucky.
