Title: 100% Legal Bios That Boots Everything...
Post by: Dark Eclipse on February 24, 2004, 12:52:00 PM

Now that Xenium has released their OS loader BIOS to the public, can't an open source BIOS be written to boot any and all unsigned xbes?  I don't see anything that could hinder the possibility.  Would you have to create 1 BIOS per xbe or should 1 do it for everything?

Your thoughts?

This is of no use for what you are proposing.

I see were your coming from. I asked this once. Xbox-Linux got a good cromwell bios going, but it boots Linux and thats it. To much different X code I guess to get normal x software running on it. Anyway the apps youd want to run on it would still make it unlawful. (evox...).
