Well, I flashed my Matrix with the new X2_v1_256K.bin that the Xecuter guys just released (for the v1.0 Xbox), so it does work!

The in-game reset works and everything. The only thing is that when you boot up the Xbox it gives you the regular green M$ animation, but then says "Xecuter2" insted of MS. Hopefully we can change this like an Evox colormod.noani setup. This is no big deal, but would be nice.

Buy the way, there will be a 256k V1.1 bios released shortly as the following quote in the readme file for the new bios.

NOTE: We will also release a 256k version 1.1 BIOS with COMPLETE features of X2. However future updates will be on the 512k as its bursting at the seems as it is and we want to look fowards and not backwards.

Thsi will also give other mod makers like Xodus/Matrix time to update their hardware to 512/1MB - as i'm sure they don't like encouraging their users to flash onboard bios's and risking hundreds of damaged xbox's in the process.

Just thought I'd share this with you all.

Just wanted to congratulate X-ecuter team, because this biosversion rocks!

I have one with a blue logo. How did you get in game reset to work? I did Both Triggers - Back - Start and it never works.

Do you know if the gamepad reset actions the bios switch when in mode3... this would be a cool feature!

I thought it was both triggers, and white and black. Not sure though.

Both triggers, start and back

So am I correct in thinking that the new x-ecutor mod does the same thing as the evox2.5 except it adds in game reset?

Yeah, its the same as evo 2.5 but with game reset, the game reset is nice. Plus they have xbox v 1.1 support. I think its really lame that they kept the 1.1 support for over a month so they could sell their mods... the evo X team doesn't make money of modchips and they had their v 1.1 BIOS out today after claiming to only of had a v 1.1 xbox for 3 days...

I have X2 bios running on my matrix now too!

thanks to xecuter and xodus and everyone!

it took me about ten minutes to open up my xbox, switch matrix to mode 4 (left it on that mode) renamed to evoxdash and flashed the bios through evox.

the reboot works great! but can anyone clarify what "F-Boot2 , E-Boot2" do exactly? they're listed as third-party modifications on the front page of this site...

Can anybody confirm that you can leave the matrix in mode 4 for normal use? It states in the manual that you would only set the matrix in this mode for flashes, and that the matrix is write protected in the other modes (1,2,3)

The only reason one would want to take the chip out of mode 4 is if they fear they will accidentially flash the chip themselves, or that a new release (xbox live or just a game title) will attempt to flash matrix chips with a corrupt bios or anything else rendering the chip useless (without a good flash). In that case, all one would have to do is remove the chip and flash via LPT programmer, and put it into mode 2 or 3, not allowing MS or yourself to screw up your bios.
