I am not exactly sure why you are creating 4 256k bios for x2 and m7. I just used xbtool to modify the bios to boot my dashboards and saved them each as a single 256k bios.

well im not to sure either. The tutorial says use xb2 manager and put the bios file in the first slot (it shows 4) and then copy it to the other 4. Then it said to save it as bios.bin. So I started thinking how do i get the other bioses on there. Btw it said im supposed to make a 1024 mb file. Like I said it might be outdated i think.

If you have an X2 pro, you can have 4 different bios' (therefore filling each bank in X2BM with 4 different 256kb files).
If you have an X2-Lite, you can have 2 different bios' (512kb each). You can put your X2 bios in the first 2 banks and the M7 in the last 2.

I am using the new xenium chip and it says I should beable to have 4 diff bioses but the tutorial says make one 1024 bios so i got confused.

OK - with the Xenium you flash one bank at a time - the size depends on how the banks are setup in the Xenium OS.
Most people will have 4 x 256kb banks.

You flash each separately, so just use the standard 256kb bios files.

You just broke the Golden Rule - don't ask for files in the forums!

There is plenty of information in the tutorials section - is it so hard to search?

Here is a direct link to the info you require: http://www.xbox-scen...icles/xbins.php
The xbins FTP site contains all the xbox files you need.

All is forgiven .... this time  tongue.gif

Why flash all banks with the same? When you can have a Rainbow? smile.gif

And also good to learn all the unwritten rule. biggrin.gif

That isn't an unwritten rule.  Look at the very top of the Xbox Bioses Forum.
