I'm a total newb when it comes to modchips, flashing and so on... I've have no experience at all..

I just read that the blue Duo x2 has Evox on the second Bank but that it is only for v1.6, or have I got it wrong?

another question:

Which one of them is more newbfriendly between the white and the blue duox2?

thx.

Bank 0 on the Blue is for versions 1 to 1.5. Bank 1 is for the 1.6 (Short term it will still boot on previous versions but not advised for long term use)

Thank you.

just another quick question, I think I read the answer here in the forums not long ago but I can't find it again, anyway:

I've got the Duo x2 white, pinheader, solder and wires + a CD-r with evolution-x 512kb and a dummy file (100mb). What more do I need?

If you have the correct evox bios for your version this needs to be as you have 512k and named BIOS.BIN on the disc. the 100mb dummy file just name aabbcc.dat. the disc should be burned as a plain old data disc.
After the flash you willnedd to install a dash and some apps. An autoinstaller like Slayers or AID 3 is the easy way.

Okay, thanx again.

It was burnt on a CD-rw btw.

So for the flash itself I just need the Dummy file (aabbcc.dat) and the BIOS.BIN (EvolutionX M8plus Bios) on a readable CD? I don't have to write commands and codes?

Just remeber that i'm new to this.

Nothing special needed.
Just burn the 2 files as data to a CDR/W Boot up with the switch on bank 1 and insert the disc when prompted.
You need to use an original big style controller during this process.

OK.

what's evox.ini?

Chancer · « **Reply #7 on:** January 13, 2007, 09:32:00 AM »

evox.ini is the configuration file for the evox dashboard. that bit comes after the chip is flashed.

Last question before I sart soldering my Duo x2 white(wire-installation due to v1.0):
Which of the D0 point do you recomend to use, the one on the underside of the Motherboard or the other one on the upperside?

Chancer · « **Reply #9 on:** January 16, 2007, 02:05:00 PM »

If you are a competent solder person then either is easy. If unsure then use the underside D0

Sandren · « **Reply #10 on:** January 23, 2007, 11:22:00 AM »

Okay, everything is done exept for the BT, I've read at some sites that you should solder it to the back of the EJECT button, but on other sites they tell you to solder it to the "G" on the Duo x2 GS..
So, should I solder the BT wire to the "G" or the EJECT button??

Thx for all help

eject worked fine for me, do that one

Sandren · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2007, 06:22:00 AM »

Worked perfectly!

next thing is to find a DVD which I can burn my bios to i suppose? ( my CD-rw didn't work, it only said "Waiting for drive" and then the xbox ejected the CD-rw).

Btw, i noticed that my dummy file was in a .bin format, how do I change it to .dat format?

Sandren · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2007, 11:37:00 AM »

Okay! I finaly managed to load the Bios, and I now get to the standard xbox dashboard with "settings", "xbox live" etc.. And now all I have to do is to burn slayers auto installer on a dvd and put it in?
I suppose I have to transform the file into xISO...

Chancer · « **Reply #14 on:** January 25, 2007, 01:59:00 PM »

Slayers will come as an ISO already. Just burn it. (You need to click on the file to extract it first)
