Hope im wrong, but i doubt i am. I remember when this first came out, it fizzled out shortly after and nothing has ever been said about it by complex since the initial release. Its just everyone else that seems to keep this going.
Post by: bucko on January 21, 2004, 03:37:00 AM
They didn't release it I guess because it was to complicated to edit the bios and they would get sh*t loads of emails asking 'how do i change it' lol. I think it would be to much work for nightshd to include it in XBTool as well.
Post by: JakeOz on June 28, 2003, 02:16:00 PM
Woud it be possible to make a new green blob animation? I mean if hypothetically it was a video file then could it be replaced with new video?
Just wondering.

You can change the color of the Xbox logo using XBTool to edit your BIOS.
Its not possible right now to change the flubber opening animation. Same with "music" and sound effects.

I notice in XBtools there is an animation check that you can turn off.
What animation does this turn off?

No, the "flubber" is in the bios itself. But no, there is no way to change it. (for us common folk)
jp110099: complex is apperently working on it.

There used to be a video of what i saw on allxboxskins.com but there not up anymore. i have the video saved if anyone really wants to see it.
I think that the video for the intro is stored on the mother board with 2 others. If it was in the bios i think the bios would need to be bigger than 256kb, and i dont think its on the hard drive either because it still comes up even if the harddrive is not in.

Discussion on Modifying Intro
Basically, it's not a video, but is rendered real-time. It's stored in a series of vertices, hence it's VERY small and compact, but that also makes it crazy to change.

dood.. put your ORIGANAL XBOX game into any DVD player.. that video is on the FIRST SESSION, then game on second.. its there copy protection... the video says this is an xbox disk etc at the end.. it may not of said it in your xbox becuase it shouldnt have even came up when pout in the xbox.. if u want the video put in your DVD ROM IN YOUR COMPUTER, rip it will dvd rip software, then encode it.... its like 15megs.. encoded to divx like 3.. ez

NghtShd is correct. It's definitely not stored in the MCPX. It's 100% stored in the compressed kernel image. I believe it's pretty much all code (DirectX, I think) along with some initialized data structures. - Paulb |
is Directx dude , is the only thing that MS uses

Post by: blackout_19 on October 18, 2003, 02:21:00 AM
The animation uses directx raw calls to the hardware for both sound and video (since the animation starts before the kernel is loaded) which is why you can't just replace it with a video (since there are no drivers in place at this time)
For it to be modified you would have to be able to re program these native hardware calls.
As mentioned it is not in the mcpx, because this only has 512Kbits of space, which is barely enough for the encryption routines let alone anything else.

You say that 'everybody knows that' however if you read this thread from the start you will see that everybody does NOT know that, which was why I was then clearing it up.
Then you act like a complete noob yourself and make out like you've found something new by extracting a bios with xbtool.

What does that have to do with anything?
EDIT: Alright, I used XBtool to apply the noani patch to a 'stock' X2_4977 kernel, and then unpacked both to compare xboxkrnl.img. The non-patched xbkrnl.img is actually smaller than the patched one...wierd. Perhaps it's in one of the other unpacked files? Anyway, I was hoping that the noani patch would actually *remove* the animation code; it seems it just removes/zeroes out/whatever the call to it. If the specific call can be found, at least we'll know where the ani code is so we can start fucking with it. It's too bad I don't have the time right now to give it a shot myself... I'll try to make it a goal to at least give my Harvard best at figuring it out. Hopefully, that meager Halo hacking has taught me well.

There's about a dozen offsets that are different. I'll give 'em to you in a little bit (once I write 'em down), or you can just duplicate what I did.

That helps quite a bit.... saves me time to find the calls myself.Now, out of curiousity, what disassembler would you suggest? I could just try some out myself, but knowing your preference would be appreciated.

the anim is definetly stored in the kernel. Its all DirectX.
Ben Jeremey is generally correct however there *are* some textures used in it...its not all vertex, index and primative info.
whether a new bios that is released with the ability to inject your own textures remains to be seen...
Post by: BlaBLong on December 25, 2003, 03:24:00 PM
I was wondering, i've changed the color of the xbox logo and turned the animation off with XBtool using the X4979 bios, and it looks great. Now i was wondering if it's possible to turn the animation on and what the color of the animation will be or will it freeze because of the color change?
I can't test it for myself because i've an lpc mod v2, so an bad flash would be deadly.
I hope somebody wise know's the anwser for this mind buggling question!
