yeah if you just run logox2.exe it tells you the specifications

thanks.
indeed you were right. it's better to give it to everyone.
Logo changing is not a big deal. Perhaps xecuter would prefer this customization to be not public, but at the beginning it was a MS bios after all. and people love so much to customize the bios.
anyway thanks to xecuter for their bios.

simply flash your modchip/tsop with the output.bin file.
yes, after xbtool say that it's an unsupported bios. I think the problem deals in the way xbtool recognize the bios (checksum ?). Or perhaps it's because i use old xbtool source code to unpack/pack the bios.

Currently, i've not heard of a flawed bios by using this tool. But consider this soft as beta:
I'm not satisfied in the way i made the new logo accepted. But it works...  laugh.gif

hey xboxhaxors if you want I can make one for you but if you want to do it, I used paintshop pro. when you download logox2 it includes a sample logo. just open that up using paintshop and it will ask you for the logo "properties" just enter 100x17 and greyscale. that'll open up the image and I just blacked it out and put my new one. save as whatever.raw, run logox2 and flash away biggrin.gif

I'm not sure what size font it was cause I just resized the image using the resize feature with the mouse. I got that oversize thing too at first. all I did was make the type smaller little by little until it said ok.

also i tried using this program and it gave me an error saying the file was oversized.. but i did everything like it said..
100x17 greyscale 8bit image file..

the problem of size is about the compressed logo.
xecuter2 compressed logo is 622 bytes length, so you can't have a bigger logo.

the logo is compressed with a RLE algorythm ( search on google ).
you need to "simplify" your bios. having less pixel of one color alone ( change it to the same color as adjacent pixel, make your logo more sharp without gradation )

After it generates the output.bin file, are all the color mods on the "X Logo" and the boot xbe order kept? When I open it in xbtool to resize it 512 it shows the default colors and of course I cant resize it since the kernel isnt supported  laugh.gif

Hell I would flash to see but I dont have my xbox with me...
