Title: Evox Doesnt Recognize Bios In C:bios
Post by: spuddy on August 23, 2003, 12:09:00 AM

Use X2BM to get the right size bios.  Name your bios correctly bios.bin.  Unzip it first.  Otherwise yoyu need to post more info.

1. Open X2BM
2. Click on the first bank
3. Click Import
4. Now find 256k bin file, click it then click open

This will load up the bank with your bios
Now do Steps 2 - 4 with the 3 banks left
Use the same bios file in all four banks

Make sure Image Size is dotted in 1024k
Now click Save and call it what you like

You now have the bios to flash your chip

Put this new bios in your BIOS folder in your Xbox C: drive
Put this line in your Evox.ini file under [MENU] section root

Item "Flash BIOS",@1

And this line (where the other Flash = are)

Flash = 0x01d5,"XECUTER2",0x100000
Now reboot your Xbox and you should see Flash BIOS in your menu
Click it and flash your chip
It will ERASE your chip (don't panic)
Flash your chip
Then shut down the Xbox

Reboot up
Job done
DONT DO THIS WITH EVOLUTION X 1.8.3682 there is a bug
Use either 3285 or 3752

thanks for the info.

I didnt mention that i have a matrix mod chip.  I think the .ini file is written differently for the matrix chip than for a xecuter chip.

what should i use for my  matrix mod chip and my menu.ini file?

here's my ini file that Ive edited and used

#tDoBIOS=1,
#tDoFlashBIOS=2,
#tDoDash=3,
#tDoLaunchMenu=4,
#tDoReboot=5,
#tDoNetwork=6,
