It's looking like the SmartXX will be here before the OS upgrade is that will cost them a lot of sales!

Most of the "bugs" I've experienced with the few installs I've dont ahve been very minor. Mostly simply relating to having amemory card or xblive adapter plugged in. Most seemed to be very minor, but yes, a pain.

besides the memcard/3rd party controller/communicator problems, what other bugs are in the OS... I have noticed nothing...

All I've noticed were some minor menu display issues... some menus faded into each other, etc. Other than that, I'm not sure. I've only worked with a few.

Don't get me wrong....I love the chip. However the controller flaws are quite annoying and I have also notice it doesn't like booting with a disk in the drive.

What is the XeniumOS made from anyways? I keep hearing it is a modified Cromwell.

Isn't cromwell licensed under the GPL?

Anyways why doesn't SmartXX just take legal action against Xenium then if it was stolen?

Come on guys be patient! I'm sure an OS update will come soon. " XOS update coming soon! Please be patient! " << #OzXodus Efnet.

As the saying goes good things come to those who wait

I for one prefer to see OzXodus take their time and release a quality update FREE of bugs and with new features , rather then a long strong of short buggy updates fixing one or two things!

Just hold on and let patience prevail

does anyone have an xbox 1.3 and still have problems with the xenium?? Ive had none with mine controller mem card nor communicator....

and what was modified in the cromwell bios they are using?? from my point of view all they did was steal the code and add some new names for themselves...

Of OzXodus stole from SmartXX, then SmartXX also stole from OzXodus.

Nothing was stolen

I'm in no position to say definitively one way or another whether XeniumOS is based on Cromwell or not - I'm just going off of what I was told by a rep from Team OzXodus.

I was also told that the guys at OzXchip were working on OzXchip II. For whatever reason they went their separate ways. Part of the team joined up with Xodus, formed OzXodus, and released the Xenium, which uses a codebase originally written by those team members but finished and improved upon by OzXodus at a whole. The other OzXchip team members went and joined the PCBioXX/NitroXX team and released the SmartXX, which uses the same codebase taken to OzXodus, but of course this codebase was finished and improved upon in a separate manner by Team SmartXX.

So, in short, my understanding is that they both originate from the same codebase, but the XeniumOS and SmartXX OS diverged when they were brought to two separate teams. As far as the mud-slinging, accusations of "stealing" and such go...I would take that with as much gravity as I would a divorced couple arguing over custody of their children.
