okie i got the chip working again i used slayes final auto installer cd but now i want to install a vga bios to the xbox any ideas guys

Try Frosty and Xman945's VGA boot disc first, just to confirm that your VGA cable and monitor will work properly with your Xbox.

To flash the BIOS, first find a VGA BIOS that will fit on your chip. Install Evox dash somewhere on your Xbox - E:\Dashboard\Evox\ makes sense. Create a BIOS directory under the Evox directory, and put your VGA BIOS in there. Run Evox, Select System Utils - Flash BIOS, then scroll to your BIOS, and press A.

.... so you need to find a 256k VGA BIOS. I'm sure there are VGA versions of iND-BIOS.5001, Evox M8+, and X2.4981, all of which are 256k. You'll just have to do a bit of searching on xbins.

I've just done a quick search, and there aren't as many VGA BIOSes on Xbins as I thought. However, everything you need is still available. There are a couple of pre-patched BIOSes, but more importantly there are patchers to allow you to convert any BIOS into a VGA BIOS (VGA_Patcher_v0.8.rar, Evox_M8plus_VGA_Patcher_v0.8_bugfix.rar), and they both come with simple instructions.

There's also a pile of BFM VGA BIOSes (Frostys_BFM_VGA_BIOS_Pack.rar), so you can test them with PBL before flashing.

The BIOSes to consider are iND-BIOS.5003 , Evox M8+, and X2.4981.
