firstly, i'd like to apoligize for posting this at all. i'm sure its a fairly stupid question, and one that a more experienced person could find the answer to on this board in no time... unfortunately, i'm not so savy  

now to get down to buisness

the purpose of this thread is to hopefully get detailed (and dumbed down) directions for adding a debug bios to go alongside with the bios currently running my xbox. i need a debug bios to play preview build code for xbox games. as previously said, i have looked through this forum (and xbox-scene in general), and havent heard much specifically for what i need (the majority of questions seem to be about updating the BIOS).

-- i dont know what bios i am currently running, and really dont care much (unless this info is needed), as i dont plan to update to any possible newer version.


hopefully someone can give me some specific tips to go along with the pinned "Newbs Guide to Flashing Your BIOS", or a flat out walk through.

if any further information is needed for a proper response, please ask.

i have an external switch as well as the four switches (as diagramed in the tutorial). do i need to only put 4 in the "on" position, or do i also need to change the other switch setting?

does that make sense?

ok, i flashed my xbox, and everything seems fine (thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and those that wrote or contributed in each tutorial).

i used X2 bios manager to creat a 1mb bios with the first 2 blanks being 256k copys of 4977, and the last 2 being the 512k "TATX_Debug_Dual_VGA_LameOne_beta".

i put the switches 1, 2, and 4 on, and 3 off to boot with the TATX bios (correct?). it loaded with a more green look to it, and went to my evox dash fine. problem is, it still wont boot my MS press discs... is this not the bios i need?
