« on: June 07, 2002, 03:55:00 PM »

Can someone please tell me how big the *new* XTENDER 1.1 bios is.The first BIOS was released as 1.1 but it is 1.0.I think I have the *new* bios but I need someone to confirm this with the exact file size.
Thanks

Sucks because from what I've heard they are the same size, and since there was some confusion regarding what version it was, I have no idea with which I ended up with.

I have 2 I dont know if the 2nd is the real 1.1 the first is less than 1 mb and the second is more than 1 mb.That should help you out but I still need to know about 1.1's size.

Both of the ones I have are the exact same size, same file name. But when I downloaded them their zips were called 1.0 and 1.1 sorry I can't help you. I'd guess the larger one is the correct one.

This is their size: 1,048,576 bytes

*new* XTENDER 1.1 bios
FileName = xtenderV1.1.bin
FileSiZe = 1,024 KB
FileSize(Trimmed) = 256 KB

I compared hexes in both files, they look similar but have differences.

Anyone tried the new release???
Is it for real the 1.1???

The file size BlueMnky stated as "trimmed" is in fact part of the full bios.

Explanation.

The original Xt1.1 bin has the bios repeated 4 times.
The most likely reason for this is because the actual bios chip on the main board has the bios in 4 times.  (possibly to keep backups if updated?)

The release for the working Xt1.1 bios is 256Kb
If it is larger than this (4 x bigger) then it is probably the full bios including 3 copies of the original MS bios, and one Xt1.1 bios. (1024Kb)

If you just want the Xt bios and not the MS ones get the 256kb file.

If you are wanting to make an xbox chip (i.e. a Xt1.1 clone) then xbox-scene have a guide for you people without programmers.
If you have a programmer you'll know what to do tongue.gif
