1st Is Always Hard...right?

YOu sure your programming did not do anything to the adaptor?

If you have the chameleon try booting from a different bank (1-3) and see if that works...

If you programmed the Chameleon with the matrix programmer and
it work as planned, the chameleon is not going to flash blue when it is in the Xbox.
The cromwel bios is what makes it flash blue. If you hadn't installed Evox dash yet,
then ofcourse you are going to get the MS Dash just like before the chip was installed.

QUOTE
I got an error when I tried using xISO. Is it absolutely essential to use xISO? I figured it was just an app to get an ISO.


if you want your xbox drive to read wahts on the disk you need to use a program that will make a xb-compatible iso. I would personally not use Xiso, rather Craxon(sp? i forget). to make the iso.

If you are new I would urge you to do as i did and get SLayer's auto-installer. Granted it takes some of the "fun" out of installing a bios, dash, etc, but it will get you a stable running setup that you can upgrade later (which is what i did with Evox m7 and Evolution 3927 (or whatever the newest one is))

i'm having similiar problems. i have flashed my bios(xecuter2 shows under the x).it's the damn dashboard i'm stuck on now. well, i think your flashing is going well, you just don't have a dashboard installed so it just looks like a regular boot up(aka the m$ dashboard). i may be wrong but a dashboard cdrw may help.

I burned Slayer's ISO and it worked great! I am in the process of setting up my new 60GB HD and all that stuff. Not too bad, next time will be much easier.

Thanks!

Bee you cannot "add" files to the Slayer's xISO.  Are you creating a data CD and copying the ISO file onto it???  Or are you "Burning From Image"???

You should be burning the ISO file as an image, not just a data cd.

I just burned Slayer's ISO "AS-IS" to a Memorex 4x CD-RW using Nero. As soon as it booted up it kicked into the Evox dash. From there I think you can figure it out. I love how easy it was once it finally worked. Now I can FTP and copy games (that I own!) to the HD. Whoever Slayer is, we noobs owe you big time!

Later,
Sonic
