Okay, well, I wrote the re-crypted SLC.
What does "flashing DDI from mcp_recovery" entail?

Hm, well, I don't have a computer with a serial port anymore, but I guess I could get one (which would be cheaper than the USB cable - unless you can put two of the FT232 USB to serial converters on each end?)

For now just getting this to work would be more than enough.
Not sure if I can find the required images for this, but I guess I'll try.

Would be excellent, thank you.

It does get into this menu if I hold POWER and EJECT, so I guess it's ready to do the thing.

I did.
It fails to get extracted by wfs_extract, complaining about wrong wfs version.

I _would_ really love to see what's on there, so if you have other suggestions on how to dump the files or extract this dump, I'd love to try them out.

If you can send me the dump and the otp I can take a look on why wfs-extract fails to handle it. (For start I can work with the first 0x2000 bytes as they suppose to have the wfs header)

    I am mad because the drive isn't even that old. I never expected it to die so soon
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i'm gonna do my backups tonight for reals

  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    It does a clicking sound and Windows doesn't recognize it
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    clicking = bad, i'd still try it on a linux box or a mac, out of desperation
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Do you recommend any way to back up?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    I will keep trying, but that clicking sound seems like the moving parts are stuck or something
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    i use a mac, so I just leave time machine running, not real sure how to back up on a windows box

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Buy SSD copy everything over and no more clicking lol
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    yeah clicking is bad, i don't do much recovery these days, so i don't know if the old tricks still work
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Pretty much they do but only because mechanical is still mechanical

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, the only hard drive i have is the one on my pc
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a weird thought, Sega with the Saturn it was a train wreck a pile of chips, but it does kind of fit the design philosophy of Sega at the time.... The Genesis/Sega CD/32X machine was probably loads of fun to program for
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, the new COD coming soon is 310gb on series s/x

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, I bet a good chunk of the space games have is due to unused content
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    310GBs lol ISPs hate this one trick
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    DLC will be a svelt 32K download lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I think you only get like 425gb on a series s hard drive, so you get 1, 2 next gen games max
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, so you need to have another series s if you wanna play more games?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Nuh you buy extra HD n add to it, but not cheap
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, how can a console have more than 1 hard drives?
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    usb expansion? I know the PS4 can do this
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
