Guess no one read my post before posting...   I have had no problems useing the method above.  Network cable, Evox Nothing Freezes IGR works

yes I read your post, but I'd like to enjoy a nice pretty blue X when my xbox turns on and no animation and all the rest. I haven't tried a virgin one, but if it works, so what? It won't be what I want.

Perhaps it's just time for an Evox dash upgrade... hasn't been one of those in a long time.

i acually think its a chip problem
because some chips have it and some don't
i run a cheapmod,and i don't have that problem
even some tsop chips have that problem and some don't

but thats just my2 cents.....

Just to prove a point, I tried using neXgen 0.95 as a default dash after I flashed the 4977 on. IGR (after I finally figured out what buttons to push) still froze up the xbox. It might have been the 4977's own IGR I pushed, but I put that x2_IGR_DISABLE file in E: to disable it.

Oh, and btw, I can't warm up to avalaunch. I've tried it, and I just didn't like it for some reason. I found myself thinking that I'd actually prefer using dos to that dash... No slant on avalaunch, I just personally don't like using it.

I'm still using evox (and will continue to) until neXgen becomes just as, or more, configurable as evox currently is. What I mean is in evox you can configure just about any setting, like IGR buttons, Menu items, IP/FTP stuff, SNTP server, etc etc etc etc...

I did figure out my problem with the X2 4977 IGR. If you have a cd/dvd in the drive, it tends to freeze more often. If I take any cds out, or just dont have one in to begin with, it doesnt seem to freeze at all.

OK,

I think I solved my problem, I don't know about anyone else's.

I got the new XBtool 1.0.8b12, and just for kicks loaded up my 4977 to see what it showed. Oddly enough, it said "Unknown Kernel", so I got a new 4977 from xbins and made it blue and all the rest, flashed it on the xbox and it worked, to my astonishment.

Being the "keep up to date" nut that I am, every time there's a new XBtool, I download it and try it out. This is what likely led to my bios bin being corrupted. Not corrupted enough to really mess up the xbox, but just enough to make me pissed off.

Well, like someone before posted, download a fresh copy and don't mod it, but I had no troubles with it after modding in XBtool. Try the latest version of XBtool if you're having problems.

I tried out the IGR in Sega GT 2002, Midtown Madness 3 and XBMP 2.4. Worked perfect!

Hope this helps someone...

jees

its nothing to do with the chip you use - did you actually read any of the posts before posting this very poor assumption ? The problem is intermittent in itself - its nothing to do with the chips - please read before posting confusion.

all the questions have been answered on this problem. Its not a bios or chip issue.
