I wonder what they mean with ''much more to come'' <

Bigmojoj27 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 19, 2005, 12:26:00 PM »

When are they going to release 5028 for download? And if it is out, where can I get it?

come on man...u can't ask where to get it..... it's M$ property and modified... which makes it illegal.... so in order to keep xbox-scene free of illegal activity... nobody can explicitly tell you here... even though in some pinned topics they go out of their way to make it abundantly clear where. <

damn,
It does not have FTP feature. That is a main option for Config Live. So you can flash bios from PC. Hopefully, it is coming soon. <

yeah and they didnt put a flicker filter\ soften patch option like they said either

...just make the bios patch all .xbe that are launched with this code

patch the lines that read:

CODE

// Initialize the graphics subsystem
g_graphicsManager.Create( g_rendererOptions.m_vsync, ( mameoxLaunchData->m_command == LAUNCH_CREATE_MAME_GAME_LIST ) );
LPDIRECT3DDEVICE8 pD3DDevice = g_graphicsManager.GetD3DDevice();

And change it to :

CODE

g_graphicsManager.Create( g_rendererOptions.m_vsync, ( mameoxLaunchData->m_command == LAUNCH_CREATE_MAME_GAME_LIST ) );
LPDIRECT3DDEVICE8 pD3DDevice = g_graphicsManager.GetD3DDevice();

pD3DDevice->Clear( 0L, NULL, D3DCLEAR_TARGET|D3DCLEAR_ZBUFFER|D3DCLEAR_STENCIL,0x00000000, 1.0f, 0L );
pD3DDevice->Present( NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL );
pD3DDevice->SetSoftDisplayFilter(0);
pD3DDevice->SetFlickerFilter(0);

This hard codes the flicker and soften filters to 'off'. The code to make this selectable is a little harder and not really suitable to be pasted on a forum by me, as I am too lazy."

From TMaul

C'mon Team We all want to play halo 2 with flicker\soften filters OFF!!!

Hey, sorry about that. That was stupid and I shoulda remembered that. Sorry XBOX-SCENE, please forgive me.

@slowmaz
I hope thats a joke. You just pasted some source code. You are asking for the bios not to patch an .xbe, but it INSERT code into a compiled binary.

Im sure they can work out the details

If you have been reading the forums then you will see that Xecuter are not planning a 256k version.
The M8 bios does "just load games and programs", and works perfectly so why do you call it "shitty ass"? And if you "don't need all the extras" then you don't need or want the X2 bios! Try IndBios if you are desperate to change your boot-up options in an ini file :boring: or edit M8 with Evtool if you want pretty colours :lol:
Geez, some people want it all, but never know why <_< <

Let's hope they can do that Flicker filter patch really soon because I don't like playing withouth it

of course that feature wont be in any x2 bios rls

if you want maximum features then get an X3

and you can flash bios from pc anyway - just use flashbios ! <

Looks good, just bummed all this extra stuff was added and went to 512KB. Personally would have been happy with just a few of these things (mainly 1.6 support), keeping it at 256KB so it will fit on a TSOP...

Oh well, this release is cool nonetheless... Good work Xecuter
