I might have a clue as to why it does not work on my box: The X2 4977 bios is 1 MB, whereas the BIOS size on my v1.3 box is only 256KB. The original 4977 had filesize 256KB, but the BFM BIOS comes only in 1MB. Any idea how to fix it?

huh.... Well, glad you have it working... Didn't realize BIOS size would be an issues... Boy you would have been screwed if the Phoenix team didn't update PBL to load something other than a 1 meg BIOS!

First, you should have the right version. If you want to check, boot without any mods and go to the legal notice screen in the MS Dash. At the end of the legal notice you should have k:xxxxx and D:xxxxxx

The D: # needs to contain 4290 (I think, might be 4920)

As far as your other question, I built mine, it gives me a few advantages like being able to use the X controller on my PC and hook up a KB to the X in addition to having an action replay.....

But thats just my opinion.

As for cheap mem, check GameStop or Funcoland (Yes I know they are the same company!) they often have used mem for between 12 and 18 bucks.

The only thing i can think of thats makeing the black screen thing is PBL not finding EvoX.

or not saving the bios correctly after editing it in XBTool or not inserting pheonix.raw

true but then could you just replace it with a norm x2 4799?

I'll PM it to ya, the FTP's fucked anyways...

Where do I download this installer?

[RiceCake]

Xbins, and no, I can't tell you where that is...Mod's will get pissed.

[Mordenkainen]

I'll look at the sources about the evox vs evoxdask.... If it's something that obvious I may just retire!

Let you all know later whats going on. Gotta go to my real job now!

Ebay always has them for $4.99....with an extension cable too!

[Mordenkainen]

Ok, looked at the sources, and now I am more confused than before... It should definitly loading evoxdash.xbe!

We'll see what can be figured out.

I hate Action Replay so much... I don't know if its just the one's they shipped here but none of their memory cards worked with Action Replay, but my MadCatz card did. So I just hacked up an Xbox>PC cable and used my MadCatz. Trust me, not only does it work awesome, but having a USB gamepad with rumble feature, 6 axis'es, 8 pressure-sensitive buttons, and 4 normal buttons is sweet with games like Need For Speed (Well, thats cause the rumble works)... Edit: Oh, and my controller was a MadCatz GamePad Pro Blue. For some reason my 'Action Replay' didn't work with my controller S, but I got the macro feature so my PC fightin' games are more fun anyways ...

RiceCake I need your help:

You bought the AR but couldn't get the AR card to work on your pc? I am having problems with my AR too. The software won't save any gamesaves onto the AR card. I get a "Error Writing Save" message. I tried it at work on a newer pc and was able to get it to work. You got the AR software working with a MadCatz Card? Do you think the problem with the AR I have is the card it came with? Should I return it and get a regular memory and make a cable? I will return the AR to target and buy a MadCatz card if I know it will work on my machine at home.
