yea i havent got a dvd remote and i havent launched the boot dvd option either since i dont have any backups (yet) so i might have these problems
Is the launch dvd option the only way to launch a backup in evox?

"Here is a quick tutorial on replacing the Phoenix logo.

ftp to your xbox, find phoenix.raw
transfer the file over to your pc
open the file with photoshop or other editor
input these setting for the file

Dimensions

width: 640
Height: 480

Channels

Count: 3
check on Interleaved
Depth: 8 bits

Header
Size 0 bytes

Then you can create your own opening logo / message.

Save as phoenix.raw

upload the file to your xbox and over write the existing file"

has anyone tried this yet?
itd be nice if someone put some nicer looking intros online as i sure dont have the skills to make my own :|

And does it still work without the phoenix.raw file?

[Hajaz]

i tried it , still works, but it doesnt seem to reduce loading times so might aswell leave it in or put a better looking one there

I have the Complete_Signed_Phoenix_Bios_Loader and the bert-ernie-big-font-green-light.rar and everything is working fine, except the option MSDASBOARD in the evox menu.

When I click it it goes to a black screen, and I have to reboot.

In evox.ini I have    (MSDashBoard= "c:xboxdash.xbe") but there aren´t any xboxdash.xbe in the C drive of the Xbox.   I have the evoxdash.xbe (I think is this name) and a defaul.xbe.

Should I rename this default.xbe to xboxdash.xbe?

Can I have any problem doing this next time I boot?

Thanks.

Very curious, all of this.

Artifex, I have tested this pretty thouroughly (been running the XBOX without the chip on for last 3 days, and have watched several DVD movies...)

The DVD remote works without flaws.  It navigates through MXM, evox, and DVD movies.  I can ff, rw, menu nav, whatever.

They KEY is, I have to run the DVD through evolution X (launch DVD).

Of course, if you put the DVD in before Pheonix even loads, the DVD remote will not work.  Trying to navigate will cause a system reset (somehow related to the orinigal BIOS/DVD player/missing fonts).

I am using the original Bigfontz, which I have Hex Edited to be permanently Red.

hhehe...

what and the freak did you do to the original XBOXDASH??

Don't touch that, dude.  Find it in your backup and PUT IT BACK!

Then do a search for username KRAKEN and learn how to fix the MSDASH.

I dont believe you  

[vintage_guitar]

Telemachus what is your DVD set to in the evox.ini?

DVDPlayer   = "c:default.xbe"
AutoLaunchAudio   = No



right there..what do you have it set too? paste it if you will?

that's a nasty thing you did in the pheonix file, swapping the default DVD player lmao!..i just now noticed,and that fixed my problem loading it, but i still have the remote reset problem

[igotgame]

here is a question...my friend has a couple of dvd-r games..that I had to sign for him when I made them for them to work...


with this new loader I understand that you don't need to sign anything...so will the games I signed for him work??  or will he need to copy them to his pc and me give him the original default.xbe's for the games??

[stealth]

It's easy to remove the load times if you are willing to recompile the hack.

to recompile you will need gcc 3.2.2 or greater as well as perl installed.

there is a simple if/else statement in load.c which decides whether to do the intro animation or the splash screen.  You can just comment that part out.

[Mordenkainen]

All we need now is a BIOS that boots evox out of the savegame directory!

Then the only place the hacked is the save game. And if your really paranoid you can put this on a mem card when not in use!

[igotgame]

will my friends old signed dvd-r's work with this new bios loader...or will I have to rip them for him and burn them without signing again?
