download the metoo/m8 package from the usual places. it contains an evtool and a compatible m8 bios.

yeah i would also like this, of course it wouldn't go into effect until after the bios has booted but it would still be cool. i tried the option within unleash x, but that only works when unleashx is running, same for the fan control.

ldots, or any other really experienced developer, how hard would it be for you to make a commandline bios LED color patcher? It could work like the font patcher, you would type the name of the bios xbe in and then with -colour afterwards being the color of the LED, then it would search through and change instances of green to whatever colour you have selected? would anyone kindly make that for us?

i found the font patcher quite hard to use lol,

how about a app that can be run on the xbox?

or if editing the bios on the pc is the only way then how about a gui interface so you could also change between colours?

a gui interface would be cool, but it would also require more work and people probably couldn't be arsed to make it. a commandline interace is much easier and quicker to whip up then a win32 application.

btw what made the font patcher hard to use for you? broken keyboard?  rotfl.gif

hell the how does a broken mouse stop you using a command prompt? blink.gif

if you want to know how to use it, then you can look at the topic made by ldots, it is pretty much self-explanatory. but if you like me soooo much then i can write a tutorial for it tomorrow. not now because i am tired and going to bed.

EDIT: there i whipped up a quick 2 min tutorial, it that doesn't please you then there isn't another tutorial that will.

see how the bios that came with ltool 1.6.1, the x2 version, it cant be editied in xbtool, so does this mean thatthe led color cant be changed?

p.s. looks like your using x2 bios aswell, let me know your set-up. all default?

im using the 1.7 ltools version, i am using the X2 bios included in that package and i think its the latest version (i always update whenever ldots releases a new version). and yes all of the settings are default.

well update your sig m8!, lol, i alway update my sig wheneve anything is changed but as of now, it is 100% correct.

also, you using pbl metto? in that case you are NOT using x2, yo are using evoxm8 bios which can be edited but NOT in xbtool in evox special bios editor proggy...

yeah i forgot about my sig, i'll update that in a sec.

also i'm using pbl-metoo but i am using the X2 bios, because after you select pbl-metoo, you have the option of choosing between either the X2 or the M8, i chose the X2.
