Feeling good today and decided to drop this video that's been saved for a bit, packing up the computer here soon ;)

hey MrMario, do you know where i can print a kamikaze template 2.4 for the slim?? coz there like $30 to ship to Australia, thanks :)

[@poseidon9948]

it is 2024 and this video was recommended on my home feed at 9:45 that reminds me of one thing I like about the fat drives, and thats the center magnet that holds the disc once its inserted. my trinity slim came with a DG-16d4s and it doesnt have the magnet, that caused an issue with the discs becoming dislodged and stuck if you have your xbox standing up vertically and bumped it

[@ddogey]

Dude this quality was great and thanks for the info and i was wondering if you can flash a drive for me if i send you the drive?

[@noursobh6046]

Mr. Mario, Greetings from the middle east! First off concerning the video quality it is great and the audio is crisp. Good job man. Second, I want to thank you for this crash course regarding what we could do and what we can't/shouldn't do when it comes to replacing the dvd-drive in the xbox 360. (I was smiling the whole time watching this explanatory video). Now down to business, I understand that you don't recommend swapping drives which originate from different manufacturers but this is my given situation: (Xbox 360 Elite console; AKA FAT) The drive which my 360 was shipped with is Philips & Lite-on, and I have a replacement Samsung drive. You said it's possible to do this different brand swap as long as the necessary flashes are done. You think it's okay if I do this, and that I could smoothly play the XGD3 games? Please keep in mind that I'm strictly an offline gamer. Waiting to hear from you.

Hey Mario. Trying to fix my son's 360 slim. Great video, but just wanted to ask. Can i go from a hitachi drive (model# DL10N) to the Lite-on drive? If so how would i flash it?

[@chrisrocks0102]

Audio and video is out of sync quality is pretty good

[@MrMario2011]

Yeah that's the framerate dropping while recording, only issue I have with this cam.

[@Gamerdad90s]

I got a free slim from a friend but the disc drive is done for. If I look at what model it is and buy the same one I'd be good to play original games not copies?

[@silvergameing1897]

Good luck man

[@MrMario2011]

Thanks

[@NORAS9097]

I have a console without DVD drive. After RGH3 i got my DVD key. Which type od DVD drive can I install? Any DVD from phat?

[@MrMario2011]

Preferably a BenQ or LiteOn, unless the OSIG called for an earlier model,

[@R07ishere]

Can you make a tut on using the hdd hacker with the usb pro v2?

[@NoXyExamplez]

Any idea where I can get a kamikaze template bud? I'm in the uk but can buy from elsewhere

[@MrMario2011]

Not sure man, haven't had a need to buy any modding hardware recently.

[@alonsoknet]

Omg, this is Dexter Mortans son

[@MrMario2011]

😂😂😂 I've had several comments saying I sound or look like certain people over the years, but this is a first.

[@alonsoknet]

@MrMario2011 Oh, I was confused, I wanted to say "Walter white's son" for the intro, ended up saying Dexter Morgan (Mortans😅). I think Its bc Dexter and Breaking Bad are my favourite shows. There is nothing wrong in your voice, if you get to read this like the other comment I would like to thank you for your tech videos, I did learn from them and follow some. Have a good one.

[@AintSoSlimShady]

My lite-on drive is fucked and I'm thinking about just buying another 360 off craigslist for like $50 since I have no knowledge of soldering. Which xbox 360 do you think is the best? I might possibly get into non-soldering mods.

[@96078763]

i tried to put a phat drive(benq with correct key) on a slim for testing purposes, detects games as dvd's. maybe there are limitations...

[@MrMario2011]

I've seen it done with LiteOn drives, wouldn't recommend it though.

[@nateplummer938]

I don’t know why I am asking this but will I need to solder the the motherboard in the original drive to the new drive

[@MrMario2011]

Only if you choose not to flash.

[@thiscouldntblowmore]

so i can just get new (philips?) lite-on drive and bolt it on my fat 360 and do nothing else, and it will work and make less noise? no flashing or anything?

[@MrMario2011]

No.

[@Xenon_VA]

Is it possible to place a Hitachi 79 board in a 46 drive?

[@MrMario2011]

Yeah.

[@Xenon_VA]

​@@MrMario2011 Little update. I replaced the 46's PCB with the 79's and flashed the console's original BenQ key onto it with the 79 LT 3.0 firmware. Although I had to bend the metal a little bit in order to get it to fit optimally, it worked just fine. Booted XGD3 games absolutely fine, too.

[@ahmadowgodofwar4496]

Xbox have annoying security settings Mario 😫😫😫 Still hardly to play xgd3 games

[@MrMario2011]

That's part of why I love it 🤣

[@charliedunning1049]

If you buy a preowned hard drive for your Xbox, will it automatically update the dashboard? Thanks.

[@ZombieGlitchesinHD]

No it will not

[@Tom4tom199e]

[@MrMario2011]

I've already covered PS3 modding, it was boring to me.
