does anyone know when the new manual is coming out?

hazpha · « **Reply #64 on:** November 13, 2005, 02:29:00 AM »

Hey everyone.

I was having all the same problems with my 1.6 till i put the screw which came with the spider gx in. it is wider and helps hold the pogo pins down more. After this my chip didn't flank at all. also, the only bioses that work are the x2 5032 and x2 5035. evox m8+ DOES NOT WORK!!!!. whoever posted that was wrong. My chip is working fine with X2 5035 v16 in a 1.6 xbox. The X2 bios booted up slayer's evox fine. And with those spiderwires. it sometimes works better if you don't put the plastic guide down on the board and just put the wires into the right holes according to the spider gx installation manual. Hope i've been some help. My box is fine now. Never frags anymore.

Bank 3 is the only bank for a 512k bios yes but when you tried Evox M8 Plus V1.6 did you try to flash it to Bank1 (256k bank) or to bank3 (512k bank)

PS anyone with a Spider GX and Evox M8 Plus V1.6 working please reply to this !!!

Interesting stuff on the X2 BIOS. The one BIOS I did not try.

I did install X2 5035 and 5032 16 but it seems to hang on the XECUTER2 CONFIG LIVE LOADING ...... My Xbox also flashes green red after it hangs. Is this normal?

I have one question though:

When I have the modchip off to test to make sure all the lights light up correctly they do. But when I turn the modchip on and power on the Xbox the D0 light turns off but all other lights stay on. Is the normal?

I have a 1.6 and can get to the SpiderOS just fine. I can flash just fine I just cannot get any BIOS to work correctly.

If it hangs on the Loading screen then the bios did flash ok and did boot ok. This is strange ... maybe it's just a problem now with your config file !

yes hurricane, this is normal for that light to turn off when you boot from the chip. When you boot up the X2 bios it will hang on the config live screen because you don't have any dashboards installed. You need slayer's evox installer to install it. turn on the xbox and put the disk in. turn off the xbox and then turn it on again with the CD in. It will boot up.

And Hackdabox. I tried the evox m8+ bios in every bank. IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!! LOOKS LIKE X2 503x bioses are the best.

hazpha,

I just want to hear from some others to see if they too have the same results as some people have had no problem with evox bioses... Thanks for your find ! i just wanna be sure before i tell people that it doesn't work as it may be just some batches or something !

IT WORKED!!!!!!

Thanks Hazpha for trying those X2s because I just avoided them like the plague because I heard they would not work.

My other problem was my Slayer DVD did not work I had to put it on CDRW.

And to think I was a day away from shooting the LEDs out with a BB gun.

That's alright. That's what i'm here for. Make sure u pass on this information so people don't go screwing around with other things when it's just the bios. later

PS anyone with a Spider GX and Evox M8 Plus V1.6 working please reply to this !!!

I have a SpiderGX in a v1.6 Xbox, and both the standard EvoX M8+ 1.6 BIOS and the Yoshihiro debug version work. Well, I have problems, but they boot OK. The EvoX BIOSes seem to dislike booting to any dash other than the EvoX dash more than once, for example if I install UnleashX it works first time, but after the first reboot I get the service screen and have to boot to a dash on CD to repair. I installed EvoX BIOS to bank 1 (256K), X2.5035 on bank 3 also seems to work, and will boot any dash any number of times. Although flashing to bank 3 seems to break the BIOS on bank 1, and flashing to bank 1 seems to break what's on bank 3. Bank 2 seems unaffected (currently holding the test BIOS).

One problem I'm finding with my setup is that XBEs may not launch from the dash unless I do things a certain way. If I boot the machine (using EvoX BIOS) from off, I get the flubber animation, then the big X logo, then the dash comes up. No XBEs will launch - it hangs at the EvolutionX logo screen. If I instead choose "reboot", the Xbox powers down, then back up, but no flubber! It goes to the X logo, then to the dash, and I can launch whatever XBE I like. I still have a problem with XBMC hanging when trying to play AVIs (which I know work on the same XBMC build on someone else setup, but anyway....).

If I use the X2 BIOS, I get the Xconfig live screen, then the flubber animation always appears before the X logo, even on reboots, and I can never launch XBEs from the dash.

Any ideas what's going on? I have 2 possible theories:

1. The diagram shows the D0 wire to be cut for a 1.6 wrongly, and I have cut the wrong wire.

2. The SpiderOS shows my Xbox version as 1.0-1.5, even though I have a 1.6. Is this why the 1.6 D0 LED goes out when the chip is activated - does the chip only activate one of the D0s depending on what version Xbox it thinks it's in, meaning my D0 is doing nothing?

Or I could just have a bad contact, I guess - hard to say (all 5 LEDs light with the chip disabled).

One addition (sorry for the marathon post, but I've been having a lot of trouble with this chip) is that the first chip I had would boot 3 times and FRAG to a blank screen, as some others have described. I returned the chip to Divineo (UK), they sent a replacement, which is the one I am using now - it worked the first time I installed it.

Hope some of that is useful, and it would be even better if someone knows how to fix my problems
