I think your missing the point. The regular versions of bios' still have no reset on eject, it's just that it has to be supported by the application (i.e. xbmp, evox, xsnes9x etc).
The problem that people are having now is since xecuter changed it so that it was a permanent no reset, which is a pain in the ass...

I'd really like to use the X2 4980 bios to prevent x-box live connections but I've been told it has the "eject fix" hack so my matrix mode 3 (swap-mode) will not work.
Is there any way I could use my matrix in mode 3 AND the 4980 bios?
...or must I use the M7 bios and be very very careful?

hopefully someone has the answer to that. I flashed my Matrix modchip recently with the new X2 4980 bios, since it's supposed to be Live proof. However, I cant turn the modchip off anymore using the eject button, so that I can go on Live when I need to. I was wondering
if there are two versions of this bios: with and without the eject fix, just like the M7 bios?
Thanks,
Zuchero

There has not been a non-eject fix on a X2 BIOS since X2 4976.02. A lot of new BIOSES from X2 came out after then, and I don't see them releasing an eject fix 4980 anytime soon.

if you just want it for any other chip you can disable auto launch games in whatever dash you are using and then do IGR and it will not boot the game again, it will load your dash. you can then swap disks and launch it

Lots of people have a matrix, what should they have bought when the matrix was new? The x1?
It was the first no solder solution, that sold rather well. As for the eject to turn off the mod, it wasnt just the matrix (link)I don't see why someone should now be told that it was a 'mistake' to buy the first no solder flashable lpc mod.

Uhm, guess what? Disable auto launch in the dash does not help. That requires the dash to run. With a game in the drive and the xbox is reseted with the x2 bios' IGR, the discs .xbe is run before the dash is looked at. To do what you are saying, one would have to change the boot sequence in the bios to not load default.xbe from disc.
And yes, there is always a "you can do something else instead", and with that attitude we wouldnt have half the bios features that we do now.

This eject hack fix is not that big of a deal. every other bios out there seems to offer both a EF bios and a non EF bios, hell the xeThere is no reason why you guys should tell people to buy new modchips, because software is written (that doesn't need to be) that stops features in modchips from working. On top of that, the eject hack is something that not all people want. Seems like X2 is trying to force us to do what they want, and if we come up with a reason not to (why we should have to i don't know) they tell us to buy one of there new chips. Nice, sounds like what MS does. I agree that they have really shitty attitudes about this. Looks like we are on our own to figure out. Has anyone tried using the reboot option in EVOX? is there any change that this causes the chip to turn off? |
i'm sorry, but i do agree with teamxecuter and many others that they do not need to support other chips, and from there eyes there is no legitimate reason that their chips would need to include no reset on eject. my matrix comment was nothing more than a joke, i'm sorry i didn't make that clear, i didn't mean to upset anyone by that comment. the reason i put the link to teh xecuter thread is so that people could see the developers words for themselves, not just to show all the people requesting it and being denied.
i did infact tell them that they should consider everyone as potential customers as well as have talks with kernel about this issue and other (such as the fact that there will be no solderless x3 chips). he does not seem to care. do i see a need for no reset on eject? no. do others, yes some do.
in team xecuters eyes no reset on eject is the best thing you could have. this is how other systems worked such as playstation(with the spring), ps2 (with the flip lid), dc(the code in the boot disks). so why not xbox (straight at the source (bios)) also?

Worst case scenario you can install a simple toggle switch to disable that thing instead of using the power button... (Then again, if you have a Matrix, this might seem difficult!)

And no, people are not asking for non-EF bios JUST because they are matrix owners. Read through this thread, its very apparent. Some people simply dont like it. Evox gives users a choice of a EF bios, and one without, users simply want the the same choice with the x2 bios. Xecuter isnt going to change their minds, so everyone will argue about it, going round and round circles repeating their points over and over until this thread dies, until 2 weeks later, someone posts asking how to disable the EF, and it starts over.

It was quite clear - what is the purpose of eject fix?
Other than to break compatibility with the matrix in hopes that users will buy a new chip, with some luck - an xecuter chip; and ejecting the drive with XBMP, which I believe works fine regardless of if you have an EF bios or not (I believe this was pointed out already as well).

Okay, then that is the post that turned the thread I was participating in into a Matrix Vs. X2 thread. Get it now?
I have gone back to the start now and this is my unbiased opinion. It makes no more sense being pissed at X2 than it would to be pissed at EvoX for not keeping up with Xecuter's pace. How many of you are mad at EvoX for having such a crappy BIOS by today's standards? How many of you are mad at EvoX for not releasing M8 to include some of the advancements Xecuter has made with their BIOS? Or how about this... let's get mad at Matrix for not having the foresight to see this coming and making such a ridiculous mechanism to disable their ancient chip. Does any of that make sense... just about as much sense as all the complaining about Xecuters lack of a No EF BIOS. This is right up there with all the complaining that goes around when a new BIOS comes out and xbtool isn't updated instantly
The "X2 is forcing Matrix owners to upgrade to Xecuter chips conspiracy theory" blows too! If you want to use the new X2 BIOS you dont have to buy a Xecuter chip. Any modern day chip will do. You don't have to buy a chip at all. Solder three simple wires to a switch to disable your Matrix and you're back in the game with an X2 BIOS. There are too many freaking versions of the Xecuter going around and too many items that should be included are extra $

You missed the code that xecuter released to do the SAME EXACT THING didn't you?
But see, I know the CHOICE of eject fix is important to a lot of people. As soon as the evox forums are back up, I'll take a screenshot of the thread where the m7 bios was released to beta testers. My first question was something to effect of "are you going to release a EF and non-EF version, a lot people like that choice".
And btw, m7 was hardly 'crappy' when it was released, it was the only bios that supported the focus chipset, and the only thing lacking was IGR, which is provided by the evox dash.
I don't have a matrix, and prefer eject fix - but does that mean others feel the same? no.
If it is as simple as for Ubergeek to comment out some code and recompile - yes, I feel people have the right to ask for a non-ef version. It seems that uber is just to damn lazy to do it, as he has the x3 chip/bios to work on (the one that was supposed to be released 6 months ago).

Yes, nobody is mad at EvoX, including me. That was my point. It would be ridiculous do be mad at them for being inferior to X2. But you're all mad at X2 for not providing NO EF, like M7 does.
You take things out of context. It's not fair to dissect my last post and reply to select lines because the meaning is now lost. I was purposely being outrageous to make my point. My questions were rhetorical at best. I was attempting to inspire critical thinking, outside of the box.

Can you take the last X2 release that had both EF and NO EF versions and dump, disassemble and compare the two for the difference in bits? Would that not give you the chunk of code causing the No Reset On Eject?
Or compare M7 EF and M7 NO EF.

There was never such a release.
The only thing in the changelog from 4976.02 -> 4977 is eject fix, but there is quite a bit off extra code in 4977 to just be eject fix.

if any prog (including the ones that have the no reset on eject such as xbmp and pxhdd and such) does than this is almost pointless to have. if you put a disk in and turn on the system it will boot the disk. if you turn it on then try and put the disk in it will reset. since it's a cold boot it will then load up the disk. thus making it impossible to actually rip a game or play a cd or dvd.

you say that it'd be nice for chip makers to also make their software, what do you think xecuter does?

I think his point was that people buy chips from companies that are absolutely known not to provide any type of bios or software support. They then bitch when another chip manufacturer (Xecuter) makes a chip and software/bios specifically for their chip (i.e. the Xecuter2 bios) and doesn't choose to invest their extra time in developing alternate bioses for people who don't own their products.
I interpret that as supportive of Xecuter. I'm of the same opinion. If you always want to be on the cutting edge and have it all - you have to pony up some money from time to time and update. If the bios you want doesn't work 100% with your chip - weigh the inconvenience against the money but don't expect people to come to your rescue all the time. If it happens, bonus to you, but don't count on it and don't bitch about someone else being unwilling to spend their time on your problem. If it is that important - learn how to code and do some work on your own. That's how most of these innovations happen (most recently the large harddrive hack and the xbox live block - ordinary people working instead of bitching and waiting for someone else to do it). There are way too many people on this forum that think developers are there to wait on them hand and foot while they themselves sit on their asses <note - I don't label everyone in this thread but this is more of a trend on the xbox scene in general>.
BTW - thanks Nghtshd for investing your time and effort and promptly coming to the rescue again.

That is extremely out of context. I'd appreciate it if you didn't twist a portion of my post in an attempt to lend validity to your statement. If you believe in it enough to post it, please support it with your own well thought out points rather than try to twist my own statement to mean something completely different. If you think that is what I meant - please reread the paragraph.

Doesn't work for me. Not on the dashboards, not on XBMP. I wish Xecuter team would just be kind enough to release another bios with the reset eject disable so that it works correctly.

When you say it doesn't work for you in the dashboards and XBMP, what exactly are you saying doesn't happen? I just tested it again and when the dashboard is running it doesn't reset, but after I launch an app it does reset on eject.
Sorry if you are aware of this, but the plural "dashboards" and the fact that I know it works for me makes me wonder if you were testing dashboards by launching them from something else. A dashboard is any app that is launched as a dash. If you launch Evox from some other dash, however, then you're just running it as an app and it you'll get reset on eject.

What I mean is that when I turn on my XBox and Avalaunch launches, I hit the eject button to put a game in and it resets. I tried loading Evox as well and again, it resets when I press the Eject button on my XBox no matter what. Same with MXM, same when I'm in XBMP. It just doesn't work for me at all.

Also be sure you are using the b2 package in its entirety and not just copying the main app to your xbtool folder, because the only changes between b1 and b2 are in the patch files and xbpatch.dll.

Fantastic! I'm running EvoX and I can say XBtool 1.0.18.b2 works as advertised - resets games on eject but not in the dash. Great work!

| And I assume you are checking the reset on eject box when you save the BIOS? Because what you describe doesn't happen here and I can't see how it could not happen here if it happens on your machine.

Yeah I'm doing everything as I'm supposed two. Tried it twice and no go for me. Guess I'm just unlucky.

What are you talking about? As it says in the history: "Reset on eject patch for X2 4981." That's the only BIOS supporting patching in/out reset on eject. Are you sayign on a 498x BIOS you get a grayed out checkbox for ROE?

Some people use the matrix chip, which used in mode 3, requires that the xbox resets when you press the eject button. (this is used to disable the chip)
Also, some people use the dvd drive more than others and like the 'feature'.

It kinda sucks, when you press the eject button onstead of resetting the xbox, games freezes like shit and you eventually have to turn xbox on and off. What use would the IGR have if you still have to turn xbox off and on again.
Please someone bring out a Xecuter 2 bios version 4979 wich disables the eject trick.
