I Finally Have An M8 V1.6 Lba48 Bios!
« on: September 13, 2006, 06:34:00 PM »

I made it myself! I did it! biggrin.gif  

I took an existing M8plus v1.6 BIOS and edited it with EVTool for LBA48 compliance. I NEVER could find one that was already LBA48 compliant, and, I had tried and tried and tried to edit some before and never could get EVTooll to open any of them. Finally I found one that it would open and I could edit. My dash FINALLY recognizes "G" and what is stored there!

I edited the "evox.ini" ROM file listings to show the current ROM hash and it lists it fine on the dash. It all works great and now I don't have to boot with x3 screen and then go to EvoX dash to get to my "G" drive!.

I am so happy I just had to share this!  laugh.gif  

Now I just need to submit it to P2P networks & xbins so others can have it.

Happy Modding,

Mark

Why not just enable G drive in the X3 bios and disable autostart x3 live? Then you can use the X3 bios and it will boot straight to Evox (assuming you have the bootpath set).

I know this doesn't make much sense, but I wanted the X3 BIOS to boot to the X3 screen (without holding white button), and the Evox BIOS to boot to EvoX and recognize my "G" drive. That's just the way I wanted it.

Sorry about the other post, it's really in the wrong place and I couldn't delete it. It needs deleteing.
