Im not following you, all I want to know is: Have they REALLY discovered a way to optomize the flash space for future bios?

No... look at the title.... I think it allows the Xenium to detect how much memory is plugged into the Xenium...

I bet there is a SPI expansion for it.....

they stole the chip design they stole the original xenium os now they say, new bios features, so what that's easy, yet they have never made a bios

Wow, some big claims there.

How do you know we stole the chip design?  Have you ever seen the source for either chip, or OS?  have you compared the two?

Are you sure we've never made a bios?  Do you know who all of the ozxodus developers are, and what we've done in the past?  Do you know what other pseudonyms we've used?

I consider all of your statements personal attacks against me.

I chose to ignore them.

I know they are Australian, and while that explains alot, it doesnt explain everything.

hey i'm australian  we've talked bout this on ozxodus forums, and come to the conclusion that the bios is compressed, flashed, and then extracted on-the-fly during bootup. i don't see how else they could do it without storing bioses on th hd and without extra hardware. get it?? bios cooking??? when you cook(or bake) a cake, it starts small as a mixture of ingredients, and during cooking(or baking) it extracts(or rises) which is what will probably happen to the bios. but i still think, who actually needs more than 1meg??? 512k for debug bios, 256 for X2 or evox  bios, another 256 for cromwell or whatever. what else do you want??? maybe if the X3 bios is 1meg we'd need more space, but i don't think it will be. and whoever said ozxodus never made a bios, they did make the chameleon cromwell thing, and if they have the knowledge to create a great chip with a great OS i'm sure they could make a bios, but when xecuter is doing the work for them, why bother? unless xecuter finds some way to make their bios work only on X3, i can't see a point in anyone else competing with them.

It's so hilarious seeing all these Xenium haters.  Grow some balls and get a Real Chip, buy the damn Xenium already.  We're tired of hearing your whimpering.  Look, I'll hold your hand for you.  It's OOOKAYYYY.  That's it Jokk, good boy Lookformeb.  Right this way.  

Xenium owners are fanatics because the chip is that good! Plain and simple.

Its OzXodus... not Xenium.... Xenium is the chip, OzXosua is the creator... its like calling m$ Corperation.... Windows Corperation

well actually you should just be calling it franz, because lets face it, he made the chip and the first xenium os, right?

they didn't make that bios, they recoded the cromwell bios, just like about everyone else has since it's open source
also wasn't this one of them that they didn't release the source for and were getting into trouble because it was under the gnu liscence?

[EmperorPsiblade]

) Created the first XOS or the first Xenium design... You are one of the ppl who believe Franz wrote the whole Cromwell bios.... but i won't get into the whole Andy Green vs Franz thing....

[Psilocybe]

i know who andy green is

However you have seen the 4th Generation mods that control your Mod and Your Xbox - however we feel X3 is a new 5th Generation - as we also completely control the Bios from the Xbox AND from the PC - on the fly !

so judging by what we are hearing does this mean that the v2.0 of xeniumos will take the xenium into the 5th generation. x3 5th generation, rofl. let us see the mod come out in 2004 before we even start putting tags on it. hmm, i thought it was going to be available for purchase two weeks after the features were announced. i'm glad i gave up waiting for it and bought the xenium.

EDIT: Not you running wild..... this is directed at Josh Adams... Psilocybe has valid accusations against OzXodus.... if true or otherwise not....

You do realize the X3 takes advantage of the ENTIRE LPC, right?  Well, it's not just used for shits and giggles...

But we were bound to get Xecuter fan-boys in here

So you must be a Xenium fanboy, right?  Explain to me why anyone who stands by a product or choses to use it, becomes a "fanboy"?  I bet you're one of those bastard Windows fanboys... well, you're cramping up the scene...
