teamxecuter thread about this
if you have a matrix you made a mistake
if you just want it for any other chip you can disable auto launch games in whatever dash you are using and then do IGR and it will not boot the game again, it will load your dash. you can then swap disks and launch it

teamxecuter thread about this

:/
A closed thread with a dozen people at least expressing they would like the OPTION, and getting turned down. Would it kill to at least release the info of how the patch the bios to disable eject fix? It's not like eject fix is a big secret, its been in the evox bios long before x2.

Lots of people have a matrix, what should they have bought when the matrix was new? The x1?

It was the first no solder solution, that sold rather well. As for the eject to turn off the mod, it wasnt just the matrix (link)
I don't see why someone should now be told that it was a 'mistake' to buy the first no solder flashable lpc mod.

Uhm, guess what? Disable auto launch in the dash does not help. That requires the dash to run. With a game in the drive and the xbox is reseted with the x2 bios' IGR, the discs .xbe is run before the dash is looked at. To do what you are saying, one would have to change the boot sequence in the bios to not load default.xbe from disc.

And yes, there is always a "you can do something else instead", and with that attitude we wouldnt have half the bios features that we do now.

Its not really their code, smo, a member here on x-s figured it out and released the info. Xecuter has a stable patching routine - used before for patching flags, and through this in as well.
But then again.. they arent the only ones with a bios w/ media patching, so we'll just have to wait and see.

EDIT: you edited your post after I posted, so the above makes no sense I'm sure.

ya seems to me that people like Psilocybe have a really shitty attitude about this. This eject hack fix is not that big of a deal. every other bios out there seems to offer both a EF bios and a non EF bios, hell the xeThere is no reason why you guys should tell people to buy new modchips, because software is written (that doesn't need to be) that stops features in modchips from working. On top of that, the eject hack is something that not all people want. Seems like X2 is trying to force us to do what they want, and if we come up with a reason not to (why we should have to i don't know) they tell us to buy one of there new chips. Nice, sounds like what MS does. I agree that they have really shitty attitudes about this. Looks like we are on our own to figure out.

Has anyone tried using the reboot option in EVOX? is there any change that this causes the chip to turn off?

i'm sorry, but i do agree with teamxecuter and many others that they do not need to support other chips, and from there eyes there is no legitimate reason that their chips would need to include no reset on eject. my matrix comment was nothing more than a joke, i'm sorry i didn't make that clear, i didn't mean to upset anyone by that comment. the reason i put the link to teh xecuter thread is so that people could see the developers words for themselves, not just to show all the people requesting it and being denied.
i did infact tell them that they should consider everyone as potential customers as well as have talks with kernel about this issue and other (such as the fact that there will be no solderless x3 chips). he does not seem to care. do i see a need for no reset on eject? no. do others, yes some do.
in team xecuters eyes no reset on eject is the best thing you could have. this is how other systems worked such as playstation(with the spring), ps2 (with the flip lid), dc(the code in the boot disks). so why not xbox (straight at the source (bios)) also?

skorchir · « **Reply #38 on:** January 28, 2004, 06:19:00 AM »

and thats why there isnt a patch for the reboot on eject. anywho.. i dont own a matrix. but you can just solder a SPST toggle switch on the matrix where the dip switches are and mount it in the front of your xbox. this way you can enable and disable your mod any enjoy

feflicker · « **Reply #39 on:** January 28, 2004, 06:21:00 AM »

Worst case scenario you can install a simple toggle switch to disable that thing instead of using the power button... (Then again, if you have a Matrix, this might seem difficult!)

Hope you get it working, X2_4981 is the best bios to date imho!

Thanks for the help!

I didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out he was trying to post a link to a tutorial related to disabling the Matrix:

Who are you talking to now? I don't see any posts from Team Xecuter in this thread. Just one guy trying to be helpful by suggesting an alternate method to disable the Matrix and another guy bashing him for messing up the link to the tutorial.

Oh, I didn't know that.

Psilocybe = Team Xecutor

i'm not really team xecuter, i don't create bioses, nor do i create the hardware, i'm simply supporting team xecuter by helping them with their forums, helping out on the irc channel, and did one "release" when the actual team forgot to release the 4981 that they said they would

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