| How can this be done, I've tried looking at the file and comparing the bios against the original MS bios in HEX workshop but I have very little experience with this kind of thing, anyone care to give a kind nudge in the right direction????? thankx |
Why should anybody change it?
Give credit to the team that delivered you a FREE BIOS and worked hard to deliver enhancements.
Removing the logo, IMO, is like scratching out Picasso's name on one of his paintings and scribbling your own garbage on it.

| Well, I agree with you. Hard work should be recognized and acknowledged. However I am more interested in the educational aspect of it rather then the asthetic value. I was just wondering If anyone would be kind enough to help me learn. |
What I do know it was not an easy thing for Team Xecutor to do.
Really, there's no reason to even bother with it, not even from an educational standpoint. Do you know how to extend the BIOS with custom code? That's a far more interesting and educational excercise than changing graphics.
The "X" logo above it is, by the way, immutable... none of the BIOS release groups have changed it, so I assume it comes out of the MCPX.
X2 BIOSes have an enhancement that allows them to place their own custom logo under the "X", whereas normally, the system will place the logo image from the executable it's loading up (the dashboard, for example), just before loading and launching the executable. This is why "Matrix Inside" comes up on non-X2 BIOSes on Xboxes running the Evo-X dashboard.... that's actually the title logo installed in the evoxdash.xbe file.
That's about all the infromation you'll get on the boot logo. I seriously doubt Team Xecutor will tell anybody what they do to display it or give up the storage location fo the bitmap, though you are free to disassemble their work and figure it out for yourself. Most of the developers here with the knowledge and capability will likely refrain from bothering with it, as there are better mysteries to explore, given the time.

Just A Thought.
Im A Programmer And I Know The Concepts. (I Tend To Be Right But This Is Just A Guess.)

And to stay on topic, I also don't see the point of changing it. LogoX did allow you to change the graphic however when it was released by Superfro (oh, it seems like an age ago now).
If it's just for learning purposes you could download this if you can find it, however, I can't remember if it just changes the logo in EvoX or in the bios as my memory seems to be telling me to piss off

And Just To Jump Your Memory For You
It Patches The Xbe's Not The Bios So If Your Using The Xecuter2 Bios The "XECUTER2" Logo Still Appears.

if u want to change it u will have to hack the bios to do so
