Looks like a lot of action today....

Matrix/Xodus must have asked Evo-X to get things in gear and release their 1.1 compatible BIOS.

Very interesting indeed....

                                    Actaully Xecuter is releasing a 256k bios shortly for the v1.1 Xboxes also.

Ugh. Xodus/Matrix is just creating  a huge wave of FUD with their VERY misleading comparison!!! My opinion has just bumped down a notch because of this shenanigan. Why? Because they compare apples to oranges!!! 500 BIOSes on the hard drive is a hyperbole, a giant red herring to direct your attention away form the fact that Matrix is a 256k mod chip, and incapable of handling multiple BIOSes at the same time. I think it's great they are working on the BIOS hacks like the X2 team, but really, they should concentrate on a "Matrix 2" with a large flash for multi-BIOS and competitive feature list, rather than rely on FUD to confuse and confound people new to the Xbox scene. They might also want to get their quality control bumped up a notch, too. I feel they've done a terrible disservice, and it's clear it's just a marketing ploy to push sales that are probably lagging due to the imminent release of the X2 lite. Geez.... who cares about component count??? That has NOTHING to do with the mod's quality, as evidenced by the complaints about non-working programmers.  It certainly has NOTHING to do with the mods ability to handle a Debug BIOS (My own desire) or an enhanced BIOS. I correct my statement from before... The Xodus/Matrix people have gone down SEVERAL notches of respect in my eyes.

                                    Here here ^^ . Why stoop like that, made them look a bit childish.

And there is a pogo pins option for xecuter2. Dunno why they said there isnt in their matrix comparrison table.

I do know one thing: I won't swap out my current homebrew mod for anything less than a dual 512k BIOS modchip. I won't flash and reflash just to switch between an enhanced 'retail' and a Debug BIOS. If X2 can't deliver that, I guess I'll have to keep waiting on it.
