My God...It's full of stars - Neon, Psychedelia, Colourspace, Trip-a-Tron and all flavours of VLM...

Fixing Neon

Post by Rubisco »

Since NXE has mucked up Neon a bit I was wondering if I got my hands on an old 64 meg memory card, removed the hard-drive and booted from the card instead, would it boot to the original dashboard with Neon back how it should be?

Hmm, I think that might work. :)

You don't need to boot from a card though, you may just need the card for gamer profile(s) and game saves.

The 360 will just boot from the bare console with the original dash (prior to any updates).

Indeed, what exactly is the difference? It looks a wee bit odd, slightly less fluid if anything, but I can't put my finger on it.

Yup, seems like V-sync/screen refresh/buffer or summink is the issue (I'm no expert), as some of the effects look 'wrong' or hard on the eyes.
