Clear the cache and see if it works then.
That's one of the pinned common problems that I tried before even starting the post.
I tried a new dash and the newest dvd2xbox and other utilities including some xbe patchers with no sale. It had to be that my bios was too old, so I tried flashing it without the proper research because I was getting impatient after 5 hours of frustration. I got banned from xbins because of too many transfers so I grabbed the first bios I found that was newer than the one I had from torrent (or at least I thought it was). Now the box won't boot.
My new question is, can I flash my bios now from a bootable disc or does there have to be a working bios on the chip in the first place to be able to do that?
If I can't, I can always take it to work and flash it with the TopMax programmer or have someone with a working box flash it for me, but I really wanted to play this game over the weekend.
