Its a small point, but why are you using such an old bios ? With a bios that old I believe you need to have a patched game ! Update your bios to at least X24977 and try again.

Well, the bios is old, granted, but I run another xbox, without exov installed, and it runs the games just fine.

Any ideas?

[hack5t3r]

Well, if they are the same version xbox, and have the same bios on the chip, then I would be looking at the media, chances are the 2 xboxes have different dvd drives, swap over the dvd drives and see if the problem switches to the other xbox !

What is the newest version of the bios that is out there??

WHats the easiest way to reflash the bios now that it has already been flashed once?  Is there  a way to do it within EvoX?

Any help is appreciated!

[hack5t3r]

Latest is 4983.67 (correct me if im wrong) but nowadays 4977 does pretty much everything you need (apart from xblive protection). Wether your chip can be reflashed in evox depends on what chip it is ? Ive got a funny feeling that your going to say its an early 1st generation mod !

Thats the current chip that is installed, and from what i can tell, it is a fairly new chip.


Now, the next question is, how do I go about reflashing the chip.  Off I go to "the usual places" to get my new bios!

[hack5t3r]

That chip is an official Executer 2, it will take any X2 bios out there, have you got slayers 2.5 ? If so, turn on the chip stick in slayers and reflash straight from the dvd. If you have evox installed and working, ftp to your xbox, copy the bios over, and reboot your xbox, then go to system management and selct flash modchip, then browse to your bios (normally c:\bios) and flash away.

Ok, well I just grabbed the newest bios.  So do I have to create a new boot disc with the bios on it( creating a 512k bank)

I do have slayers 2.5.

I have evox Installed and working.

When you say to copy the bios over, what do you mean.  I copy it from where to where?  (specific please)




Thanks for all the help!

Evox allows you to ftp (file transfer protocol) files to and from it. Basically you can plug your xbox onto your computer network and share files between them, so you transfer your bios from your pc, to your xbox.

Or you build a new evox boot disk with the new bios on it and flash it that way.

Or you use the latest slayers and there is already a new enough bios on the disk ready for you.

Well, I have the 2.5 slayers disc, so how do I go about reflashing the bios?  

Or would it be easier to create a a whole new boot disc with evox and the bios on it?  
THanks again.

BTW, I know all about FTP, and that kinda thing, so you can skip over the basics of those.....  Just trying to save you a little time..
Thanks!

If you know how to ftp, then connect to your xbox, transfer the bios to the c:\bios folder, and restart the xbox.

Then browse through the evox menu to system managemnt, and press x

then browse to flash bios and press x

then find the bios you transferred and press x

then press y to confirm you want to flash your bios.

thats it, the xbox will power off, and jobs done.

What ab0out the size of the bios?  THe one I leeched was 256k, do I have to make it any bigger, or will the 256k suffice??  I originally flashed it as 512k

Thanmks

[hack5t3r]

As far as I know the x2 can take any size, but if you have used 512k before then you would be best using that size again. Go to www.xbox-scene.com and look under tutorials, in the bios section you will see how to change the size of a bios.

[Timelord_]

Ok, I am all set, I have the 512k bios rewady to go on the xbox, but I dont see the option under system managemtn to reflash bios........  The only thing relating to bios is "bioschecker"
