Niche PS2 & Xbox (Original) Stuff: Any Maine residents? (Softmod offer!)

[Overand]

Updated! I'll now do original Xbox soft-mods for folks who are interested!  Obviously I only support this & the PS2 softmods to let you extend your system's functionality; both of them make pretty decent media centers, and of course homebrew development is fun.  The softmods do allow game backups & modifications, if that's your thing.  (It's nice on the Xbox and PS2-Fat with internal HD, as you can image your game right to the internal drive and not have to deal with the optical media seek & load times!)

Alright - if any of you folks live in Maine (the US state) and want to hang out with a TG-16 nut, I'm game.

But, if any of you have PS2 systems that aren't modded, I'll 'softmod' your PS2 for you - all you have to do is bring me your memory card!  Google "FreeMcBoot" to see what it's all about.

Why Maine only?  Well, for one thing, I'm curious if there are any other Maine residents here, and because the whole process is kinda interesting to discuss!

Gotta love FreeMcBoot!  Too bad there were never any really emulators developed for it... That latest tweak of OPL HDD only is a must have app I must add!

Welcome, comrade.

I know Maine a little bit.

I go to Maine in the summer for a week in a cabin with family and friends.

Halfway up the coast of Maine, past Portland...Damariscotta, that lake, dammit, what's the name?

Jesus, my poor brain.

In the winter, I used to camp at Acadia and go to Canada...and I've been to Bangor a few times (only to see Mr. S. King's house...)

Also, Bar Harbor, which is probably a huge tourist trap. I loved a pizza + beer theatre that was in Bar Harbor back in the day.

Aww, I named my brain Jesus too! Is your reason for naming it as such the same as well? Resurr-erections and what-have-you?

My brain died for our sins.

You know, the usual savior-brain sort-of-thing.

WWBJBD?

SRSLY.

What would baby Jesus's brain do?

[ClodBusted]

Maine always reminds me of Stephen King.

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Welcome aboard!

I hope to make it to Maine for a visit one of these years.

Thats better than the method I used in the pass, saw the top cover of the new model ps2s in half to do the swap technique. lol

Think about girls too much to save anyone, duh.

What, not lobster too? 

Also, yes... it's snowing today.     This is what it looked like a few days ago!



That being said, the photo's kinda dishonest.  One of the other cars literally had a circle of no-snow around it.  VERY strange drifts, but the total snowfall was around a foot and a half.

[Overand]

So many snow storms. SO MANY.  Original post updated; I'll help you softmod your Xbox original, too!

[esteban]

NJ was very lucky, hardly any snow, but lots of icy gusting.

My family in Boston (suburb) is going crazy. They are "driving in trenches" because the snow is so deep in their neighborhood.

Trenches are good.  Trenches mean that when your car loses control, you hit a snowbank rather than going into a ditch.
