Doux2 - Cromwell Vs. Regular/lite?
« on: July 28, 2005, 10:24:00 PM »

white duox2 - cromwell and flashbios3.0.3.

flashbios makes it super easy to flash the chip with your own bios

i recomend the white one, becuase its easy to flash, and its white.

but it doesnt really matter what you get, they all have the same functions.

I prefer the Original Blue Duox2 simply becuase no flashing is needed and comes with Two 512kb banks. Comes with Xecuter2 Bios on one bank (for xboxes 1.0-1.5) and M8+  on the other bank (for 1.6/1.6b xboxes). If you want to reflash it with a modified Bios of your own then simply use Evox or Slayers 2.6 to flash it. Evox/Slayers resizes your bios so need to worry about size of bios

The white Cromwell also has Two 512kb banks but I think was mostly made so more  resellers can carry them since they come preflashed with 2 legal bioses : Cromwell and Flashbios.  So in other words to run backups, install apps such as XBMC or hacked dashboards like Evox/Avalaunch you would need to reflash the chip. To reflash them you could make a bios disk, flash from HTTP or flash from C/Bios on your hard drive (the c:/bios option is only for Flashbios). The problem with the white edition is: 1. compatibility, the flashbios doen't always work on 1.6 xboxes- 2. size of bios, for most  "noobs" they forget to use a 512kb bios and mess up the flash 3. flash disk for some people is hard to make one (not sure why).

The Duox2 Lite is a the little brother of the original Duox2, it only has 1 512kb bank (one is really all you need, but is good to have another as a backup). Comes preflashed with M8+ so it will work from the start on 1.6 xboxes but would need too be reflashed for 1.0-1.5 xboxes.

Order from the China Location, they ship faster and with less problems..I've hear of people odering from the USA location and having shipping problems. I'm in the USA and have ordered around 200 chips from them and they always get here within 6 days. There a good modchip store.
