    I modded a PS2 some years ago. I remember the way i modded it you had to leave the Mega Man X4 disc to access the hdd games. But you can take the disc out and play regular disc games if you wanted to as well. Met a woman and her kid, explained again how it worked (as well as an email i sent to her beforehand, and it was in the ad. So they bought it. A few days later i get this super long email from the mother telling me how it doesnt work, theres no games on it, how horrible of a person i am and how i could live with myself for being a fraud and theres a place in hell for me blah blah. All i did was respond back and say, "like ive mentioned numerous times before- did you take out the mega man X4 disc? Because if you take it out you cant access the hdd games." A few days pass, she writes back. "Yes he took the disc out". Idiot.

    I remember when i bought my modded original xbox from ebay. I forgot the person that I bought it from. I was very happy and still am happy they modded it for me because it was perfect the way I wanted it. I googled how to add games myself and other emulators and roms. It is easy to do in some cases. It's been almost four years since then. Having a modded console is awesome. Keep up the great work ok.

      For craigslist, get a burner phone and always meet in a public place. Then it doesn't matter if they hassle you or not after the sale. Just turn the phone off for a week and move on with your life.

    I can totally understand your feelings here...I had originally wanted to do a couple of xboxes up for the retro games for my kids so I went on eBay to place a bid on a couple from an organization. Unfortunately I wound up winning 13 of them all at once so I have been modding them and selling them just to get my costs back. Recently I had a sale to a young person who yes asked if there were any games or mod menus on it. Explained that was his responsiblity. He came with his father and i had it up and running to show them that the system did work. I got a text the following evening that the xbox would not boot up past the opening screen. I asked him if he had tried changing any of the configuration..his answer was NO. Told him to bring it over and I would check it out. He came with his mom. Once again while face to face I asked him if he had tried to change anything. No was just playing and when he went to turn it on again it wouldnt boot up. I had googled and found to put a blank launch.ini file on a thumb drive and booting up..guess what? it worked and guess what I found on the HDD??? the files for a free stealth server. Asked him where they came from..I dont know it came that way. Since I am former tier 3 customer service and had to put up with shit from customers I let him have it. Told him it DID NOT come with those files as the organization that sold the xbox to me security wipes the hdd and I also make sure there arent any profiles etc. So reconfigured launch.ini deleted the other files and sent him on his way.
    Next day!!! I get a call from his mom stating he was playing it for about hour and half and it froze on it and again black screen. I exlained to her what is going on that he is trying to mod games for online play. So again she brought me the xbox..booted up with the thumb drive and found he had been messing with the files..this time had cpukey.bin file on the hdd. So to keep from them calling me all the time .. I put in a mod menu for him, set up the plugins and told him all he had to do was add his stealth server...the answer i got from him was "Im not allowed to go online until Im 16" WTF!!!!!!
    I posted one of the last xboxes I have and not a half hour later I get a message from him asking if he can swap...needless to say I now have him and his parents blocked!!

  • @3v068
    @3v068 3 года назад +1

    Im the smart friend in my group. Im the one handling everything related to tech and game consoles. I told my friends that I will only jailbreak their consoles if theyre willing to learn how to do what they want to do and never ask me about it again. Out of the ones that I HAVE counted, 2 out of 8 people that i know of have actually kept up with a jailbroken console and kept up with their knowledge. The rest didnt bother and just went back to a regular console. I do not deal with this kind of shit from my friends because its frustrating enough trying to figure it out the first time sometimes, let alone teaching it to someone else.

    That was a top 10 request when I had my mod shop. GTA mods and pirated games. I was like a broken record telling people "no I can't help you with that it's illegal" or "check google". That's how you stay in business and out of trouble. I too worked in help desk for 10 years as a day job so it didn't bother me as I've dealt with much worse. I had a no tolerance policy where I'd kick you out of my shop if you even discussed piracy. 2008 was insane ICE came after many modders in SD but my shop (the only actual store front at the time) was left untouched. ICE can you imagine that. They're supposed to be protecting our borders from drugs and criminals but instead had pictures of modchips on the front page of their site. Guess they were bored that year.

    I was thinking about repairing and modding consoles, handhelds, and controllers mainly from Japanese junk lots for myself but also to sell after I get enough experience with soldering. It's going to be a ton of fun to bring this stuff back to life and improve what I have while money on the many things I want done anyway so I thought it would work as a way to get extra money so I have been doing research about it but now I know that it's can be lot more complicated then the more common things I have heard in the past. Something I have just realized is that the videos I have seen from people who seem to enjoy repairing and selling modded consoles and handhelds were working on thing's that weren't extremely simple for the buyer to use like gba's or have a mod that few people who aren't retro gaming enthusiast would know about like gamecubes with pictoboot. I read several comments with stories I read that had gone through what MrMario has usually involving systems that are from after the 1990's, more successful then the gamecube, and I feel that have mods that are more likely to be discovered. Has anyone who has sold a bunch modded consoles from the 80's, 90's, 2000's, and 2010's had roughly the same issue with buyers for each type of console and on all the open websites you use? I am especially curious about etsy. I guess I will have look into this more.

    When I sell stuff online, I use a Google Voice number and disposable email address. Once the sale is done, I do not get a bunch of questions because the sale/communication is OVER. I do not sell broken/defective items. I know things work when I sell it, I test it before it goes out the door just in case something happened over time (electronics can break, even from non-use...caps can leak, etc...)....but once the sale is done, the communication is done....

    That's the problem with people who want everything done for them. They're assuming by having a "premodded" console, that it's become a magic box with all the mods for every game they'll ever need ever with all the updates and the best anti-ban mods and the easiest way to get free xbox live. Tell them to get fucked. If they're not willing to learn about the console and they're using the console, that's on them that's their responsibility. I mainly do PS3 and 3DS mods, typically soft mods. I don't solder and I don't chip. I buy the console from people who've done that already, but as far as software, I can handle directory organization and XeX patches. Some people just assume what you're selling will do everything for them. Sorry, folks. THIS IS UNAUTHORIZED HARDWARE.

    I can't even imagine having the audacity to buy a relatively cheap piece of equipment and then expect the seller to provide free training on how to operate it. While that info is readily available all over the internet.
    But this goes back to one rule of business every business owner knows, or should know- some customers are not worth dealing with. There are high value customers and low value customers. Places like eBay, craigslist provide mainly low value customers. They pester you with endless questions and complain, eating up your valuable time, they are rude and entitled and they will steal from you. And your margins will be shit because they expect everything dirt cheap. You can sell lots of cheap items at low margins to low value customers. Or you can sell fewer high value items to high value customers at much higher margins. But you can't really do both. You have to decide which type of business you want to be. Sites like eBay, Amazon and Craigslist are fine for individuals who just have some random stuff to sell and it doesn't make any sense for them to create their own website or open their own shop. But as a business platform they are trash for a lot of different reasons.

    As a customer of modded consoles from vendors other than your good self, I have both been the DS customer who you never heard from again, and the Xbox customer who bugged you a few times. I think the blame should be shared across the customer and vendor. My Xbox360 problems would have been solved if the vendor had gave me a simple demonstration the day I picked it up. However in my experience console modders are very private, often anti social, and like to communicate either by video tutorials not made for the laymen, or through bullet point instructions. Now I have nothing but respect for console modders that are expert in a very nich craft, but bear in mind for the average Jo the Xbox JTAG stuff is probably not meant for the guy off the street that just wants something easy to plug and play. Avoid selling to these guys as you are probably setting themselves up for fail and you shouldnt complain if they come back and say this is too tough to understand.

    • @MrMario2011
      @MrMario2011  3 года назад +1

      I understand your viewpoint, however I'm of the belief if you're going to pick up a specialized piece of hardware you do have to do preliminary homework and have at least some Google-fu of what to search for. That's what I did as an example before I got my first RGH, half of what I looked up didn't make sense until I had the console in hand, but I at least had some prep work done.
      If you buy a car from a person or a dealership and pay in cash, they'll answer some questions about the car in regards to details about it, but they won't teach you to drive. If you buy a laptop somewhere they can answer general and some specialized questions, but they won't give you a full rundown of the basics of how to use a PC. Same thing should apply here, even if a console isn't modded, most sellers aren't going to teach you the very basics of how to use a game console. That's something you either should know or should be willing to learn when you hook up the console.

    • @jackrussell3084
      @jackrussell3084 3 года назад

      @@MrMario2011 Awesome point. I only want ro draw to attention if the buyer was actually aware its a specialised piece of hardware and its not suited for the laymen then I whole heartedly agree with you.
      However if the buyer thinks its application is going to be the same as a DS lite, I would argue that the seller knowing how advanced the JTAG is, has a duty of care to strongly advise the seller they cant recommend it.
      In my case I asked the seller oh so you just put games on this and play them and the seller responded "yeah". Now you might think the problem is that I didnt research. But to be fair when you go to fill up your car with gas for example, you dont necessarily stop and feel the need to research the type of patrol and your type of engine to see if it's a match. You trust that the gas station sold you gas that will work for 99.9% of cars on the road, otherwise the vendor should clearly mark the gas is for specialised cars.
      Really appreciate your videos but just giving you the side of the seller who is stuck with something they probably dont have the appetite or aptitude to get the full potential out of.
