quote from the the manual:

"At the time of writing, we are still in beta testing of our version of Mr. Green`s wmilk.exe (http://www.warmcat.c...lksop/milk.html), we will be releasing the full documentation concerning the programming of the Matrix once our GPL software is ready. For the first few days after release it is recommended that the user obtain wmilk.exe for windows or lmilk.exe for Linux and use the command: wmilk -c -a ffc00000 -v -p myfile.bin where myfile.bin is the file name of your desired 256k bios image.

so does this mean that we cant use evox which is 1024k? i am going to be mega pissed if this is true.

i can only say 1 word because of legal issues.

Hey dude, go to IRC, click on options and go to efnet, exit window, and go to the room #xbins, then dl flashfxp, type in !list in the chat windows in the channel, some ftp's willa appear, in one of them there are all the tools available for xbox, believe me there is more than 10, like boxplorer that lets u browse your xbox, and many many things more, you will find RAR's of the 2.5 bios, duno what it says but just dl it, it contains all the kinds of 2.5 bios in 256k like 2.5.noani.err.nologo and stuff.... i think this rar should be posted in the net and linked to everywhere that it says xodus in the net, its a must have, and yeah it lets u play backup games too.

that was my short say, im sorry i couldnt tell you the details, but u know how it goes...

i know how to get my greedy lil' hands on that kind of stuff (just not on #xbins, they ban aol [bastards!]) i just want to know if the matrix chip can only hold a 256k bios. i think that would be stupid of them to build such a great chip with so many features, and limit the size of the bios to 256k. could the bios size limit be in the program "lmilk.exe", or can the chip only hold a 256k bios?

first off, every bios except the debug bios and the linux bios are 256K. Since most flashable mods and the onboard tsop are 1MB, they are just the same bios repeated 4 times over.

Second, I'm not at all suprised that it can only hold a 256K image, since it seems to be a direct ripoff of CheapMod, which can only use one chip that happens to be 2Mb.

no i dont, i mean a program that will extract the 256k bios. i dont really know how to use winhex, so a program would be great, or a step by step with winhex.

oh, sorry. i think i figured out how to do it in winhex. File Manager - Spit File, right? should i split the file by 256k or should i do it by 262144 bytes? or are my numbers/methods wrong?

Can you answer this for us dumbasses that have never flashed before...

Am I reading it right..stating they haven't sent software with the flasher...but for us to go find wmilk.exe ??

Is this software pretty easie to find?

Next....
can EVOX 2.4 Official bios be flashed on this chip? I don't understand the 256k stuff too well... I sorta understand but..

If evox 2.4 does not work will the UNofficial 2.5 work? Any of the versions of the 2.5 ?? err .. no anim.. etc etc

well it doesnt really mater anymore, i got my hands on a little file called EvX2.5.colormod.err.ybox.evox.nologo.noani.by.superfro.zip

exactly.
Those bios' work correct?

is there anything about those bios' that we should know...
I thought I read somewhere the noanim ones screw up?
most likely operator error.

anyway thanks for the bios reply... but
am I reading it right that you have to use wmilk.exe to flash the "first" bios?
sinse they have not sent software with the programmer ..correct?

THANK YOU!

i though all bioses are 256k whats the fuss about?

if u see a 1 meg bios that means its 4 times mirrored in a single file
u just split it in 4
