u use one of the spare power supply inside your pc case

[roryson]

and that along with the pci VIA sata card will run my external 360 dvd drive so i can backup my 360 games... i would need an adapter from my molex power to the dvd drives power. do u know where i could find one m8..??

ebay or just use the one u have in the box

You can either use the xbox itself to power the drive.

The CK3 kit is best and easiest way to power a drive. The CK3 connects directly to the molex off the PSU from PC. You would need the CK3 to connect any probes you may need in the future

ok m8, cheers....

[roryson]

i just thought it was a bit pricey and could find a cheaper way..

[cunny]

For the ease it adds to flashing drives, its a good buy

[roryson]

guess ill need to get one then.. cheers for your help, would i need as probe aswell?

[roryson]

if i get the ck3pro would i get the cable that runs from the CK3 to the DVD drive or would i need to get one extra..??

[cunny]

Probe V1 for Liteon 7 Series drives
Probe V2 for MRA Hack and has function of the Probe V1 also.

If your just looking for powering the drives, and dont have a liteon drive, you wont need 1.

Also the probes can be used to retrieve keys from Drives flashed with the UART patch

You should also get the power lead from drive to CK3 with the CK3.

cool, cheers for your help, guess ill need to flash a BENQ drive with new firmware when its out, thats about how far i would go..

[cunny]

You can flash a BenQ without the CK3 and just using the XBOX to power the drive. It gets a little tricky if you need to power cycle the drive, this is where a CK3 comes in nice and handy

The chioce is yours tho, either way you choose, myself and other users are here to offer support if you get stuck

i dont mind spending money if its worh it

[smirnoff_rules]

u will save it with your first game

[roryson]

thats true, i have a samsung MS28 which i wont be using now, so gonna be using it to rip my games. thats why i want to know about this..

[janobi]

I used to use an xbox to power the drives, and it caused nothing but problems. I lost a few drives because of this, and had to recover the drive fw.

Got a CK3 and best money I spent in prep for flashing drives.

[roryson]

just paid for the CK3 and the external adapter so i dont need to open the case to use it. not a bad little gadget even if i do say myself.. ha..

You can also rip games using a standard pc dvd rom, saves all that messing about. Some people say it takes about 30-45mins doing it. Mines only takes about 10mins a game.

I know you probably already know this as there's hundreds of vids on youtube about it,.. saves all that messing about with 360 drive adapters and stuff

I've ripped about 5 games using my standard pc dvd burner no probs, and I'm a noob at this 360 stuff. You just need wxripper, a DVD with more than 7.5gb of data on it (boxset dvd's usually are more than 7.5gb) and a paper clip...... and the game you're ripping

Theres a little more to it though(magic numbers and stuff)but just watch a few youtube vids and once you've done it a few times its quick and easy from then on

cheers mate

i saw a tut on youtube but decided on the 360 drive route....
