The new X2 bios will support 1.6 consoles when it comes out. For now, use EvoX M8_16.
smokeingit, are you suggesting X-Ecuter shouldn't have released a chip that supports the 1.6 console simply because they don't have their own bios out that supports it? That makes no sense to me... Why make us wait until their 1.6 bios is out...

| all i am saying is that they have not make a bios for the 1.6, evox made it months ago... what the issue? they knew they were going to release a 2.6, also for the x3. i speak the truth flame me for it |
Well, you are missing the critical difference between the (2) teams, in terms of the bios.
EvoX releases a HACKED version of the MS Bios. That is why they got it out so quick. They simply dump the MS Bios from a 1.6, apply their hacks, and they are done.
X-Ecuter does not do that. Their bios is a lot more complex than that. They do a lot more than just hack the MS Bios, including tons of original coding.
As EvoX had already released the "hacked" 1.6 bios, why would X-Ecuter do the same? That wouldn't make sense. Instead they will take their time and deliver us yet another outstanding X2 Bios, this time with 1.6 support

| I cannot get XBtool to even OPEN this file, much less edit it. Is there any way I can get the m8_16 bios to run something other than xboxdash.xbe??? |
The answer is no. Thats really what this thread is about. I was looking for an alternative to the hacked ms bios by evox because you can't modify this bios. So until xecuter releases their bios you are stuck with using "xboxdash.xbe" for loading your dashboard. There is no way around this

LMAO. You clearly dont know what the hell you're talking about Kafluke.
awsmsteve, xbtool wont edit the M8 BIOS. Evtool however will edit the M8 BIOS though.
Download it HERE.

Now I realize that my current BIOS doesn't have In Game Reset, so I open up m8_16.bin in EVTool, then click "Save As...", call it m8_16_with_igr.bin. Now, when I try to open this file in the X2 Bios Manager, the file is just ignored, leaving 2 empty slots. It seems that the file output by EVTool isn't recognized by X2 Bios Manager.
Am I skipping a step when I edit the BIOS using EVTool? Maybe something involving packing and unpacking?
Thanks for the help!

| Actually thats not true either. Like Morglum said, if you use EVtool you can change the boot order too. EVTool is exactly like xbtool but for the evox bios's |
what do you mean its not true? come on n00b you know there is a default boot order and i told him the way it works. admit to it so others dont really think you dont know what your talking about.
