i spent about half an hour to look for the link but i only found this http://forums.xbox-s...8519&hl=m8 bios
but that's not the link what i talked about.

maybe someone can clear it up why there's no different on using M8 BFM version such in M8 not BFM version??

for one , you need a modchip to use the non-bfm m8 bios, or any non-bfm bios for that matter.

BFM = Boot From Media

thank u,

what i mean is, M8 non BFM bios have EVOX M8 and EVOX M8_16 while M8 BFM bios doesnot.

can you explain this?

sure.
the M8 is for v1.0-v1.5
the M8_16 is for v1.6

the BFM version works with all versions.

M8 BFM bios in the metoo package works on all xbox versions (v1.0 - v1.6).  The reason for the two different versions (one for v1.0-v1.5 and one for v1.6) in the original M8 release is the different hardware inits. However, with BFM bioses these inits are no longer done. You could write a poem at the beginning of the BFM bios file and it wouldn't matter (the init data is not used).

i got it working now. not tried any of the games that didnt work previously with it, but the actual bios seems to be working. i just copied the whole pbl metoo over instead of just renaming the bios. nice and fresh install.

while i was at it i set up secondary and thirdary (?) dashboards lol. so if i ever screw up my primary im covered.

Hey fellaz.....

I gave this new metoo-m8pack with M8_LBA48_IGR_Q-06-BFM.bin a try.

After doing it. Conflict Desert Storm 2 booted fine but I still can not get Crimson Skies to load.  It starts up and freezes at the load screen.

Here is what I did:

I already had ltools UDE2 installed via 007.

I next FTP'd to my E:\BiosLD\ directory the 3 files (boot.cfg, default.xbe, M8_LBA48_IGR_Q-06-BFM.bin) from the "metoo-m8pack-beta1.zip" file and rebooted.

Crimson skies still froze at start up.  Did I perhaps miss a step uhh.gif
 
Also, pardon the nOOb question but what is the "Eject fix"?

eject fix lets you press eject without your xbox rebooting.

without it your xbox will reboot if you press the eject button.

what you mean freezing at loading screen? do you actually see one? because if you weren't using this new bios you would just see black screen when you try to run crimson skies, while using this new bios everything SHOULD work.

if you can't see anything then im not sure if you copied the bios correctly.

if you could see something but it just freezes then i think you should just clear ur cache/x/y/z and maybe clear your crimson skies save folder, and it should work. *shrug*

Thanks for the quick reply.

I read what you said then tried a couple of things.

1.  I deleted Crismons Skies from the 1.6 box.  I have Crimson Skies on a v1.0 box that runs fine so I re-transferred it from the 1.0 xbox to the 1.6 xbox via Avaluanch.  

2.  Deleted all the files in the e:/cache folder, x, y, and z drives.

3.  Reset the menu cache in MXM.  

4.  Rebooted the 1.6 box

Tried to launch Crimsons Skies, box froze at the end of the MXM load screen and Crimson never started at all.  I had to do a hard reset to reboot.

Next, I launched at LEAST 10 other games to see if they worked, they all launched fine including Conflict Desert Storm 2.  Unfortunately, I do not have Enter the Matrix or I would have tested that one too.

Am I missing anything else?

This is not the name of the new package. It's called metoo-m8pack-v1.2
