X2 5031 Problems
« on: April 30, 2005, 11:09:00 AM »

alright i was using x2 5028 before this and it worked perfect but heres a list of problems with x2 5031 i have found, both bioses used the same x2config.ini off of E so thats not the problem

x2 5031 will only boot from C, i have made sure that the ini file  says its booting from F but no matter what it wont boot anything else but C

It also wont boot straight from a disc it goes to the MS dash first (thats the only dash i have on C), i tried putting in my evox boot disk so i could ftp but thats a no go since it goes straight to the dash saying this disc unrecognizable

i have a doux2 so i switched banks to x2 4981, i reboot and then it boots my evox disc, so the disc isnt the problem either

anyone else got these problems? <

Your efforts frustrate me to say the least.

maybe you should use the updated x2config.ini file that comes with the new bios with new dash launching features/capabilities like the instructions tell you to in the first place.

i did, and i also made one with one of the x2 config file makers, no go on all 3

even if it was wrong ini file, the bios should boot a boot disk

i've been in a chat room all day with 100+ ppl testing different dash locations with zero bugs

also you say you are using the same ini with 5028 and 5031 - well they are both totally different - plus there is no 5031config editor yet as far as i know do it manually - its childs play. <

thats the one that came with the x2 5031 file from the usual places, all i changed was the booting options and it cant boot from a boot disk or boot from F

Edit: i also changed the fan options too if that has anything to do with it

erm - this is telling me the bios is not booting AT ALL its nothing to do with dashboard settings

the bios isnt loading AT ALL hence the unrecognisd disc error (of course its only loading your msdash - i bet your hdd is locked too right? (youd get an error if drive is unlocked) try an original game THAT will work

in fact i had some other ppl tell me that just now that duox2 is the only chip with this issue and i dont know why. all my testers users xecuter xenium and smartxx chips so i ant get anyone to do any debugging for me sorry.

This ini is present in the root of F. I am running a xenium chip. Still bots msdash, which is only in C. Anf f:/evoxdash.xbe is my dash present in F:. Its the most recent unleashx build, not that that matters. <
