??? What are you talking about?
The animation has ALWAYS taken place executed form the BIOS. This is a very LONG ACCEPTED issue.
The blob animatin is a Direct3D app embedded within the BIOS, executed on power up. It is not a movie. All meshes are embedded, meaning that changing them is only a matter of locating the data and patching.

Right now color is the focus - but I'm sure after finally getting to talk to nghtshd we can pin down more - I would love to see ppl able to put their own ani in as well - but for now - baby steps lolactually i just looked at that cpx clip again - they added in vertices to make the word "COMPLEX" instead of the blob. all the vertices for what you see in the boot ani is stored in the same place - xboxkrnl.img found when unpacking ANY bios. I chose an x2 4981 because - well - why wouldn't ya lol. but that unpacked kernel img file is in all bios' - so mod one - you mod em all

All three are a little more 'respected' and trusted then you ever will be. if you honestly can't grasp the concept that it's not anyones place but the author to release it, then you are just a fucktard and should choke on your food and die. Stop being such a god damn leech on society. powercntrl, yes it could be fake, but it would be a lot of trouble to release some videos just to say, "haha, we were just kidding" a week later, no? Especially since this isnt some random n00b who has claimed to do it, its a group that has released some very fine dash hacks in the past. You remind me of the goofs over on xbh the day before evox was first released, "FTP SERVER?!?! BACKUP GAMES?!?! I won't believe till I see it !!". Its really just better to stfu and wait if you have doubts, else be made to look like a fool later on.

Actually, it isn't a lot of trouble. I've got my Xbox running PS2 games now. Of course it's true, there's a video!
My point isn't to be proven right or wrong - just that videos are not definitive proof of anything except the existance of said video.

It's nice to see that you are capable of using the color filters supplied with your cheap NLE ( NON LINEAR EDITING ) system. It's also nice to see that you can cut/ trim and splice clips. But.
One. Get rid of the cheap camera. The scan lines from shooting off the screen are way too noticeable. Try using a capture device that at least lets you acquire straight from the source. ( I'd recommend S-Video or Component. ) Then it would at least be close to as clear as the "FAKED" (yea RIGHT) ones frm the tHc guys.
Two. If they are faked then lets see you put your MAD EDITING skills to work and produce a series of them that depict only different elements from the boot sequence being changed. ( Like the tHc guys nust have to "FAKE" all the ones they did. ) Comeon lets see you take a green boot ani and change only the FOG element of it to another color. I've been working with Professional NLE's for several years now and would not even bother attempting to do it. The time wasted for a "JOKE" would not be worth it. Oh and don't try adding a colored FOG filter from After Effects over the video. It can be spotted from a mile away.
Three. If you sat down and extracted the kernel for youself and made some of the changes that NghtShd posted you would then see that it is not faked.. But I am to believe that would be too difficult for you.
Four. If you were even remotely aware of the things that JbOnE and the rest have done with the M$ dash then you would not begin to doubt their abilities. Go try loading up the tHc dash for your self and become a believer.

I'm truly surprised you noticed something that isn't even there. I never bothered to turn overscan cropping off, so there's the appearance that this was "shot" with a camcorder. I captured at full NTSC resolution and then dumped the second field when I resized the video to 320x240. The video is straight progressive 30fps, if you're seeing scanlines, you're imagining them.

The lack of clarity is due to artifacts from low bitrate Windows Media compression. Of course, I could have made the file shorter and upped the bitrate.

I'm not doubting that it can be done... My point was, which even after quoting my original post you still missed - there is no point in getting all giddy over a video. Someone with way too much free time and more video editing than hacking skills could spend the time making a really elaborate hoax video and someone would end up falling for it, hook, line and sinker. They won't be from me though, I'm not spending more than a few seconds video editing to prove a point.

There is a point when you know the video comes from someone with a known track record in the scene, then you even get the offset for a piece of it to try out yourself. So there is no question the video is real and this hack will be out, that is worth getting excited about to me.
If someone (anyone) just posted a video with no name associated to it or proof of any kind like how they accomplished whatever the video showed or that they are capable of such things, then yes what you say is true, but that simply wasn't the case here at all.

I didnt check the scene geometry offsets, i just assumed since red was the first, those refered to as "1a 2a 3a" would be green and "1b 2b 3b" blue and the value following be Alpha. RGBA
Aplolgies if ive copied anything down wrong. I know anyone can just look this up themselves (from JbOnE's idb), i just thought it cant hurt posting it. Thanks to those who worked out the offsets in the first place.

the bios is 98% theres still green in it.edit: theres something wrong with the bios , i tried to open it with xbtool and it said unkown kernel , so i unpacked it , hex edited the kernel so it looks for evoxdash.xbe on partition6 (was looking for partition2) , i flashed it and still goes to xboxdash.xbe , i reflashed the chip with original X2 4981 and goes to my THC dash , i extracted the bios from my bios folder and checked the kernel it says Partition6 to look evoxdash.xbe , but is not going to evoxdash.xbe , is going to xboxdash.xbe.

hopefully tonight the last glow will be dealt with - it's now 99% blue lol - always something has to be a pain

| of course xbtool is gonna say unknown - the kernel has been edited - checksum doesn't match any known ones. it's is a 4981.06 set to boot to xselect, evoxdash, xboxdash. if you are going to try any color other than blue, have a g partition, or simply want to mod a different bios - just do the logo color mods in xbtool then unpack it and edit the xboxkrnl.img to do the rest of the color mods. i found more position/scale values which i'll add to idb comments as well hopefully tonight the last glow will be dealt with - it's now 99% blue lol - always something has to be a pain |
im not talking about the color.
edited the krnl to look for evoxdash.xbe on "F" , if i flash my chip the same way that it is it will obviously go to evoxdash.xbe or xboxdash.xbe on "C" , i edited the krnl so it can look for evoxdash.xbe on "F" but is still going to xboxdash.xbe on "C" even if i edited the knrl to look evoxdash.xbe first on "F"
this is how i have it.
\Device\CdRom0\default.xbe..\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\avalaunch.xbe..\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\evoxdash.xbe...\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6\mxmdash.xbe....\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\xboxdash.xbe
but it still goes for xboxdash.xbe when i have evoxdash.xbe (THC dash xbe) on F

| Xbox-Savage, JbOnE's BIOS was edited by XBtool before he added his stuff, so the dash loading function has been replaced completely by XBtool's. You probably just edited the original strings and not the new 128 byte ones. Anyway, it's a moot point because I just released an update which will recognize then flubber mods, so you should be able to edit it in XBtool now. |
ok i found some bugs, this was after using the new Xbtool.
Xbtool saw it , i changed the boot sequence like this
C : evoxdash.xbe
E : evoxdash.xbe
F : evoxdash.xbe
1. when i flashed it , it worked great , after like an hour , when i turned it off and turned it on again it keep going to xboxdash.xbe , from there it sometimes goes to the evoxdash.xbe , i know is the bios cause i have two bios , the normal X2 4981.06 , when i use it , it always goes to evoxdash.xbe , but the hacked one only goes sometimes.
2. sometimes it starts without video.
dont know if is only me , but that is what happened to me with those bios.

the last glow was finally found with a big hand from Voltaic altering the final shade won't be doable till everything is worked into xbtool - so for now i moved it offscreen where you never see it. a workaround - but problem solved for now (till i go after the camera path hehe). i'm gonna put together a few other colors premade, then make sure it all finds it's way to that place if anyone really wants to help: an ase file util would be usefull. it would have to take raw vertices, etc... as input and create an ase file out of it so it can be edited, etc... then back to raw info from an ase.then the real fun can start pm me here or in #xboxdash on efnet for that...

So far I see the very first thing is blue but not the blob (the tiny little flash of light is blue before everything else appears, then its all green). Then my logo is blue with black walls.

i think it`s a little bit more complexed than (as of to day). to change the blob colour, you need to read what has been told in earlier post..
