| on the xbtool website it shows a screen shot of the program. what i noticed is that in the boot partitions and executables where you tel it what file tro boot 1st, the 1st one doesnt JUST say default.xbe it says avalaunch\default.xbe. does this mean that it can make the xbox look in folders for the files (.xbe's) to boot instead of just the root of the partition? |
Yes.

Secondly there is a directory backup on the xbox c partition with a bios.bin file.
When I load that file in xbtools it says that it is evox m7.
What .bin file do I have to change for enabling LBA48 and what bios do I have Xecuter2 4974 or evox m7.
(I hope evox m7, because that one supports large disks)

x2 bios's support large hd's too. you can patch them in xbtool or use one of the newer ones where .06 is one large f partition and .67 is f and g.
the x2 bios is by far better then evox m7.

evox should report it somewhere. you don't need a x2 for the x2 bios.

How does the presets work? I tried unzipping the files into the preset folder but I still can't see the color changes.
edit: nm I got it, it's under presets.

you flash it with any method available to you like evox, programmer, or cromwell flash bios. it's not supported by xbtool because part of it is encrypted so changing stuff like the logo colors isn't possible.

Are you talking about using the Preset Maker to change the boot screen? If so, all you need to do is save it and make sure it's in the Presets folder where XBTool is located. Then when you start up XBTool, select the preset and you'll see the colors and boot options(TM, no ani...) change.

XBTOOLS
It works great and is available here:
http://home.alltel.net/nghtshd/xbtool.html
You can change the colors, remove the animations, remove the text - a lot of stuff.
Enjoy

1. Open XBoxtool.exe
2. From File Operations > Open > select a virgin BIOS (previously unmodded)
3. Select a Boot Partition i.e. C: (this is where your evoxdash.xbe resides)
4. Select size of BIOS i.e. 256k for matrix (this is size of BIOS image after save)
5. De-select options such as trademark, dvd check etc (un-tick = do not want this)
6. Choose your colour scheme
7. Save as . . . (give relevent name i.e) . . . D.6-blue-no-dvd-check (this is your custom BIOS)
8. Copy the BIOS MD5 value to clipboard . . . place in evox.ini so that dash displays your custom BIOS

in order to open/edit this bios, you must use a different ini, with the proper rc4 key and offsets.
such an ini (sans rc4 key) is on xbins

I ask this because I did the switch out the wires mod to make it red, but screwed it up so only half of it is red now, (left half is red, right is green). I would like to make it so the bios makes the left half Green and right half red. (which due to wire switching would make it all red)
Did that make any sense?
I realize I probally have to do somethign with the stages.
Would I set red stages to 3 and 4 and green to 1 and 2 to get what I need?
Thanks

Any help would be appreciated. |
Which BIOS are you using (when you say "the newest evox", I assume you mean their dashboard)? If it's an evox BIOS you are using, could it be that your games need a media patch BIOS?
