Just to see, i downloaded both M8 and Evox 1.0 and Evox 1.1 again from #xbins, to my surprise M8 had .nfo file telling onlu use M8_16.bin on 1.6 boxes and M8.bin on others.
Evox 1.0 has nfo file and Evox 1.1 even has a PDF manual.
ARe you sure you whre using official servers ( EFNET ) not any other servers ( DALNET, etc )
I personally don't care, as I see nfo, manual and readme files on all I downloaded, only way you could have gotten M8 or M8_16 without nfo or readme is if its a modified/hacked version for spalsh screen color, IGR, or LBA48. All of which are not official and non supported by evolution X who created it.
If you have a X-Chip use Evox 1.1 offers a hell alot of more possibilities and the option you wabt STEALTH, enough said you asked for how and theres the anser EVOX 1.1!!!!!!!
