Hey guys. I need sum help.

i just got my Xenium today. Did the pin header install no time at all. And it WORKS!!!! But now i try to flash it and it says "unable to load file from cd". Im pretty sure i burned it right. I also tried using my PC CD Writer. But still no luck. What else can I do to get my BIOS Flashed? Thanx

keep trying. it was a pain in the ass 4 me too. as i have a thomson. you have a dummy file, and named your bios "BIOS.bin" right?

hey, i am having some of that same trouble too.  i think i burned the bios wrong.   i used nero 6, when i do it should i use the cd-rom iso mode, the cd-rom udf mode, or the cd-rom udf/iso mode.  i believe i used the cd-rom udf mode and just dragged and burned.  i did name it "BIOS.bin" too.  is there a better program to use like cdrwin, dvd decrypter, alcohol 120, or what...i have them all.  any help is greatly appreciated.

do not use the udf mode, just burn it as a regular iso. make sure you have a dummy file in it as well.

damnit, a dummy file.  i hate dummy files.  they always mess me up.  thanks for the help though.  i most def appreciate it.

oh, and do i use the udf when i burn a game or do i use iso (if game is .rar, obviously)?

i dont have a dvd burner YET. so i cant really answer that question. check the backup section.

You use SimpleX to make an XISO of your game DVD and then you burn that XISO like any other ISO to a DVD.

As for games being in rar... user posted image No help for the pirates here.
