Game Updating A Jtaged Falcon, Help Options

[creativepuppy]

I have a jtaged falcon that is unbaned that I have been messing with trying out homebrew, enjoying some of the classics nentendo and such.. My ? is i put my Metro 2033 disk into it and its telling me that i need to update to play, will that harm the jtag hack or anything else.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

It's probably the avatar update, but go and double check the dashboard version that comes up in your settings and try an older game first to get the avatar update.

I will check the dash ver tonight. But I have played Modern Warfare 2 without it asking to update.

If the game is saved to your hard drive just delete the $System update folder.

I have used Bioshock 2 to update two xboxes after jtaging. It put the avatar update on and maybe a few other things I have not noticed. Bioshock 2 has the some dash as xbr so it doesn't update the dashboard. As far as I know there is not a newer dashboard out there. However I did have the r6t3 fixed so I couldn't blow an efuse. Just in case.

Any update on Metro 2033 yet?

So the update in Bishock 2 is safe to do on a jtagged machine and if i use that first then Metro 2033 shouldn't ask for an update at all if it's safe?

Both Metro 2033 and Bioshock may have their own individual game updates, but won't have a dash update, as the new dash isn't out yet So they're both safe.

Allright, thanks! I'll go ahead and install it and play from hdd then. I have the r6t3 resistor removed but i still don't want to screw up the nand.

Just two more questions: Dashboard and kernel updates always goes to nand and burn a fuse to prevent older versions flashed to nand from working, right? Will individual game updates ask if to be installed to internal memory or hdd?

[thwack]

Yeah - dash/kernel updates first 'burn' a fuse-set, writing to the NAND occurs around the same time - hence a couple of years ago, after peeps had removed the R6T3 and tried to get the NXE dash, an E80 occurs (fuse-set not matching/bad write to the NAND due to this).

Game updates generally don't ask where to go - they'll default to the HD cache folder.

Well i just installed Metro 2033 on hdd and it never asked for any kind of update. Nor has any other game i tried, altough most of them has been older. Odd...
