I merged this thread with the other one.  Why?  Because NghtShd has looked at it before, and hasnt been able to do it.  I'm not speaking for him - just telling you what he has told me in the past.

P.S.  Not everyone installs a larger hard drive and/or runs their games from one.

Uh, just for the sake of balance and clarity, what does that have to do with this thread?

eject fix serves no purpose if you only play backups from dvd.

edit: typo

If eject fix disables reset on eject wouldn't that be the only time it serves a purpose, when you eject a dvd, backup or not?

uh, no.

Read the nfo for the x2 bios, it gives you are a very good example.

I just had a look at the 4981 nfo.  I saw the part about disabling Reset On Eject because of the hassle when changing disks in Media Player.  Is there something else?

I think you just caught on to the whole point of this thread.  

EDIT: maybe Psilocybe and other staunch allies of anything that team xecuter decides to do can answer.

sorry, what about me?

[heinrich]

Me make my point? What is your point dear man?  Why do you need to questions peoples motives and reasons?  Are you offering to hack the x2 bios to disable EF?

And no, people are not asking for non-EF bios JUST because they are matrix owners.  Read through this thread, its very apparent.  Some people simply dont like it.  Evox gives users a choice of a EF bios, and one without, users simply want the the same choice with the x2 bios.  Xecuter isnt going to change their minds, so everyone will argue about it, going round and round circles repeating their points over and over until this thread dies, until 2 weeks later, someone posts asking how to disable the EF, and it starts over.

There is no spoon!

It was quite clear - what is the purpose of eject fix?

Other than to break compatibility with the matrix in hopes that users will buy a new chip, with some luck - an xecuter chip; and ejecting the drive with XBMP, which I believe works fine regardless of if you have an EF bios or not (I believe this was pointed out already as well).

Although it would be very nice   , I already gave up on this and switched over to M7. It kinda sucks that they came up with such a nice feature then ruin it for people who have a Matrix and want to use LIVE.

The thread I was participating in started at this post.  You merged it into this thread.  It was about Matrix chips and xbtool.

I don't have a point.  I was just asking someone what significance their post had on this topic when they said not everyone plays games from a large HDD.  That's when the riddles and the wild goose chase started.  

I have to drive home from work now.  CYA later.

[heinrich]

At all....  

[dee_ss]

is x2 4977 the same as x2 4976.02?  if so, then this data should be different there.  if only i knew where to start looking at...?

That post was never the start of a thread, it was a reply.  simonx314 started the other thread 2 days before that post. I dont get you. At all....

Okay, then that is the post that turned the thread I was participating in into a Matrix Vs. X2 thread.  Get it now?  

I have gone back to the start now and this is my unbiased opinion.  It makes no more sense being pissed at X2 than it would to be pissed at EvoX for not keeping up with Xecuter's pace.  How many of you are mad at EvoX for having such a crappy BIOS by today's standards?  How many of you are mad at EvoX for not releasing M8 to include some of the advancements Xecuter has made with their BIOS?  Or how about this... let's get mad at Matrix for not having the foresight to see this coming and making such a ridiculous mechanism to disable their ancient chip.  Does any of that make sense... just about as much sense as all the complaining about Xecuter’s lack of a No EF BIOS.  This is right up there with all the complaining that goes around when a new BIOS comes out and xbtool isn't updated instantly  

The "X2 is forcing Matrix owners to upgrade to Xecuter chips conspiracy theory" blows too!  If you want to use the new X2 BIOS you don’t have to buy a Xecuter chip.  Any modern day chip will do.  You don't have to buy a chip at all.  Solder three simple wires to a switch to disable your Matrix and you're back in the game with an X2 BIOS.  There are too many freaking versions of the Xecuter going around and too many items that should be included are extra $
