i for one hope you continue to do it strictly at asm/hex level.  i feel it would be a much greater accomplishment.
i saw it when i was letting you know about an index page.  i also got the x file then too.  this is why i let you know to put up a blank page.  i've had sites where i forgot to make an index or didn't think of it before too then realized people could see anything i put up easily

It didn't matter too much, because I posted all that stuff for a reason, but that bios file did need to be hidden.  I don't care if people grab my program, but the bin in kinda...  ph34r.gif

I can completely replace the boot sound now, the only problem is that I don't know how to resize the segments.  An 8 second signed 8-bit audio sample is about 120k.  I simply don't see room for it in there without resizing something.  I figure that insted of monkeying around with midi voices (I figured out how they did it, and I don't want to touch that shit :-p), I would just remove the extra tracks, and make one track that plays a voice for 8 seconds and stops.  As soon as I can figure out how to get an 8-second clip in there, I'll release a program to do it for you.  I have already got it playing smaller clips on boot, completely replacing the stock sound, but it only plays for a second. sad.gif  Anyone good with ASM or microcode?  This one might be over my head. blink.gif


Um, so yeah, to answer your question, I have it all figured out, I just have no place to put it.

You'll probibly need a 3d program, or a model aproximitly the same size as the xbox one.  I included the stock xbox .X file because it lists the position and dimentions that the one you replace it with MUST have.  The logo seems to have a small window in it, because if you move the logo in any direction it clips.  I had a hard time getting it to center properly (until I used the .X as a reference)  I find exporting a mesh into 3DS format and using Deep Exploration (in the XDK) to make it an X file works best.

I thought I almost had it the other day.  I was going to replace the call to the initvblob to the init for the xbox slashes.  I might still be able to get it to work.  But like I said, my limitation right now is that I need room to do this stuff in there, and I don't know how to resize the PE headers.  Other wise, I could just compile a custom bios and copy the appropreate code and paste it into the X2 bios.  Right now I am just playing games with the existing data.  I think I am going to take a look again at nghtshd's xbtool source and see if I can adapt it a little.  I know he already has some bios expansion stuff in there.  I should be able to change the jump points to the data after that.

While on the subject, it was mentioned above about keeping this as a pure ASM hack.  It totaly will.  I am doing this to spruce up my own box, while I wait for the X3, so makeing my own bios is a dumb shit idea  laugh.gif I have no intention of messing with that crap.  Leave it to the professionals, I say.  (Mad props to the Ind-Bios guys btw)

i was about to say make it bfm, then i realized with that = nobootsequence (duh) it made me think, what if there were a bios that was just a shortcut (so to speak) that points to an actualy bios on a given partition. prolly wont happen. or if there was a way to get it to boot on restart, like in. like um, select a bios, and upon restart that's whats loaded. after haveing typed all of this up, i'm wonderying why i'll even post it

you can change the boot screen with XBTool and the bios preset color maker for it make the boot screen easy to cahnge colors on, the flubber, is another matter. as of yet, you need to manually hack your bios on order to change the flubber color. there are tutorials areound in the forums, i think they are in the xecuter2 area, cant remember for sure

I figured out the sound thing, and the expansion thing (thanks NghtShd) but when I pack a bios with a sound clip larger then a few kilobytes, XBTool craps itself.  Not sure why.  I get a Read and then a Write error.  It happens wheither I pack to 256k, 512k, or 1mb.  So I relocated the sounds, and resized them, and got them playing when I want, but I can't 'replace' them with one 8 second sound.  mad.gif

i kinda figured you were gonna use the Remainder. but thats besides the point. have you tried just totally taking out the sound? or maybe muting it? and has NghtShd thought more on releasing his xbox text smasher utility?

I am not sure what you mean?  It seems to work okay now,  I just havn't bothered writing an app yet.

What text smasher utility?
