Newbie With Duox2 Mod - Help With Flashing
« on: March 01, 2006, 07:01:00 PM »
Ok,

1. You only need to flash the bios once. If your 1.6 xbox works with the current bios, you're set!

2. If Evox is loading up you dont need to flash anything. Changed settings in evox save automatically. Evox runs off the harddrive and the settings/everything is saved there. A bios just boots the box up (starts the hdd, dvd drive, etc, checks if games are originals or not, thats why modchips let you play backups - its not really the modchip its the bios. Modchips only let you change the bios smile.gif ). If evox boots up, thats (essentially) all your bios should be doing. Any problems other than that is something other than your bios.

That hopefully answers all your questions.

Oh, and try san andreas without changing any settings. What works for me is: put san andreas in your dvd drive. Turn the xbox off, leaving the game in the drive. Then turn it on again and it should boot (works for me, I have a 1.0 xbox, xecuter2 5035 bios and duox2 modchip). Try that first before changing settings.

The EvoX bios (M8 whatever) is the right one for the 1.6 and will give you a blue Xbox logo on boot.

You either don't have a 1.6 (or he swapped it out)  xbox or he flashed it with a custom Evox M8.  The Blue Duox2 comes with a bios on one bank that has blue "X" logo and says Xecuter2 on the bottom, this bios is used for  for 1.0-1.5, the other bank has a bios that boots  a green "X" and an has an "EVOX" logo on the top left, this is the M8 for 1.6 xboxes.  If your xbox is a 1.6 then it will only have booted with the M8 no matter what, you would have gotten frag with the Xecuter2 that comes with it so no way its in the wrong bank.  Now if he flashed his own custom M8 plus then it could be blue..

As far as San Andreas youc an change the settings like stated above or you can also switch dashboards to something Like Avalaunch which automaticall fixes the problem, no need to change any settins.
