# RC4/eeprom keys needed to load BIOS
RC4Key how
EEPROMKey1_0 about
EEPROMKey1_1 no

# Tray closed - load XBE, else load BIOS
CheckTray true
TrayState 0
XBEFile E:\dash\EvolutionX\default.xbe

# Make LED orange during loading
LedSequence oooo
KeepLED false

# Fade out Xbox logo slightly - display text over it
SlightFadeOutStep 3
SlightFadeOutMax 40

# Show text for 2 seconds - fade - and load BIOS or XBE

It makes a really nice, smooth transition to EvoX using nkpatcher smile.gif

Is it possible to set VTimeout only for loading a BIOS and not an XBE?

Well, when I load EvoX using nkpatcher, it takes a few seconds for EvoX to start blending in - so I get to read the text for 3-4 seconds, VTimeout makes it unnecessarily long.

However, if I load a BIOS, as soon as the text finishes displaying it fades out and the BIOS loads - I'd like to be able to read the text... if it's too much of a hassle to add it in - don't bother.

That would be cool, although I don't know how you could do it...

The way I have it right now with nkpatcher it smoothly fades between screens... from the Xbox logo screen it fades out slightly, displays text over the logo and fades into EvoX... the main reason I was using nkpatcher over a BIOS...

edit: Looks like you updated the root post again - lots of cool new features - interested on how this key checking will work... actually thinking about it, i assume this key checking involves checksumming the key and seeing if the checksum is right yeah?

Sounds great, tomilius! I've never honestly taken a good long look at FBL to notice its features... VERY nice.  When exactly does the splash screen kick in?

About 1 second after the XBox and MS logo.

Good to see you're still working on it biggrin.gif

Bwahaha... I just loaded it up with my new "Microshaft" skin...

Any way to make that boot loader info go away?  I know that's probably a huge feature of this loader, so if that's a no-no forgive me for asking.

Well, I found a few values in boot.cfg, but I'm not sure what to change them to.  I found the !ShowText, but changing it to !HideText or !Hide still shows the text for a second right after my skin loads.
