you're a good kid, just a bit to hard on yourself at times it seems. Give me some examples. Stop worrying about what a bunch of children think about you in another forum

Hmm, interesting idea but I didn't specify, its not that type of noise... at least I don't think so. I believe its the fan whining but I'm not sure why since its nearly brand new. 360's are just built like #!$@

You could try testing it with an older version of MAME/MAME32. I would guess you have a bad romset but I'm assuming you already checked to see if this was the case. Run it with an older version and if you still get an error it is most likely related to the rom and I would recommend downloading it from somewhere else. You could also try downloading all the rom sets for that game to see if any of them work. It might be possible that you need to download the bios pack for that rom too (like downloading the neo geo bios pack to run neo geo games). If it works with the older MAME version then its either got something to do with your current MAME settings or theres still some kinks to be worked out...

odd thing is the noise disappears after the system has been on for a while... maybe it disappears when it idles. What a pain, maybe I can internally dampen it.

yeah right no really, congrats

You better not $*!@ with my favorites here or I'll kill you.

Its not the dvd drive... did you really think I'd post this if it was THAT simple? The sound is there as soon as I turn on the console and when I'm not playing games. Even if nothings in the dvd-drive. For example, if I'm watching a video through a usb flash drive on the 360, the noise is there and it makes me want to shoot a baby. When games aren't installed and I play a game, the whirring from the dvd-drive is like a jet taking off, and I'm WELL AWARE of that sound, but this is not that. EDIT: please no "send it in to microsoft for a fix" either

I've got one of those Jasper chipset 360s and it makes these really annoying humming/whirring/SOMETIMES high pitched noise that is extremely irritating. It seems to go away after a while (maybe I'm just ignoring it) but I want to know if theres a fix. Anyone else have this problem/solution?

Also, get yourself banned... go out with a bang

You're right it can't be this forum because according to some other thread, everyone here is ooolllldddd

You're leaving us? Fine, just gtfo... easy

Why do you think that is? us old dudes remember the glory days and want to relive them through emulation. I don't know on many 13 year olds who are excited to play arcade and console games from the 80's. oh yeah I am 34. That's cause most kids these days are spoiled trash. They think the internet has always existed (And NOBODY has dial-up anymore), 3D graphics are the way things have always been, games and movies aren't cool if they don't have guns and titties in them (I like me some guns n titties, but FFS!), your car isn't cool unless it has 65HP and tries to sound like it has 500hp and a stereo that makes the trunk vibrate louder than the music playing. I hate today's kids........most of them that is. You forgot to mention, you get a complimentary cell phone at birth nowadays

Things should stabilize in 3-4 years I believe... at least thats the speculation.

I age backwards, like Merlin

Ahh the games where all the spells are named crazzy sh!t and you dont get a discription... Thats the one. Beat it after grueling frustration. Tried to play 2, but its too soon. Been trying to get the achievements in Luxor 2 but that game is so bad and annoying and boring that I want to gouge my eyes out. Damn me for having achievement addiction.

I prefer plastic, but cash is more versatile. I try not to leave home without some cash on me for whatever comes my way.

ZOMBIES!!!

I almost pissed myself ^ Awesome ^ I'm a huge CB fan..I agree that they should leave it be. Leave it fantastic. Leave it BLUE... Get it?

Agrarian economies usually fail. There has never been PROPER coordination between farmers and government for sustained periods. That is why so many uprisings in history have been results of mistreatment of peasants. The U.S. is in debt to everyone, the national deficit is almost 11 trillion. But it doesn't mean jack realistically. It will never be payed off. Also there is economic crisis in China as well, like I said, one weakness in the chain and things can go wrong globally. You're right but I'm talking about a situation where everything crashes and there is no economy. People can survive regardless. I'm not talking about farmers and government. I'm talking about humanity in general. If everything crashed and money had no use, we can still live. China's "crisis" has an upside unlike ours. The economic "stimulus package" that China's rulers have announced will likely do actual good for ordinary people. New low-cost housing, much-needed new railroad lines, and a universal healthcare system are examples of "domestic spending" that were not in the government's budget before the recession hit. This recession in the economy might contribute to an end to one-party rule. If it gets worse, it will change its politics. Every crisis has government responses and its impossible to tell what the result will be. Stimulus plans can easily go either way. The only real way to tell is to take a retrospective look, so I wouldn't jump the gun on that one. I don't think society can have "no economy". The economy exists regardless of what we want or don't want. What you seem to get at is a bartering system (there has to be some way to exchange/acquire goods and services for humanity to work), which is still an economy. Regardless, it wouldn't work because the cost of finding what you need is too high and trade costs would be ridiculously under managed and exploited. Imagine the economy of an MMORPG in real life Besides, economies grow along side other developments. To shift one aspect of a society, such as the economy, into "non-existance" would most likely have a ripple effect that would harm other parts of society as well.
