xilinx + bios w/o protections = clones
Yea maybe i'm wrong but that release is opening the door for the cloners which is kinda pathetic.
Arakon : it boots if you split it to 512k... and I agree its completly useless w/o the config live.
Just an idea, but knowing executer the protection is the same on the latest build so a simple hex compare would tell what strings/bytes to patch.
ok now if they could crack it the same way on all versions of the bios wtf are they using a ancient build of it...?..? why arent they using the latest and greatest??? something must have stopped their crack on the newest versions.
if you want X3 just by the damn thing i mean they cost about as much as a 1/4 bag of weed for christ sake
:P
You can do the same byte change on 2913 and it works, didnt tried 2914 but I doubt it'd have changed.
so why are they releasing their hack with the old version? did the newer versions boot?
They probebly don't want people to unpack the code and view it. I'm sure the final build will be encrypted.
QUOTE(jokk)
Wrong... plus you can split it in 512k bios (yeah even 2913).
Reread what you are referring to here, I said as long as the chip or tsop is big enough. I only mentioned 1024k as there are no 512k tsops on any xboxes.
QUOTE(jokk)
Wrong... patch the same bit on 2913 and it'll boot...
If you reread what i said i said that it will be behind due to xecuter changing the way they encrypt IN THE FUTURE, obviously not right now
QUOTE(jokk)
No one created a bios from scratch that can boot all your warez stuff, just stolen sources. CL is an embedded xbe, remember ?
Also reread what you are referring to here, i didn't say it was created from scratch, i said from source. don't take offence just because evox doesn't create from source.
QUOTE(jokk)
Where did I complain?
maybe you should stick to forums in languages you can fully understand/interpret/respond
dunno why you always have the need to take anything i say personally and try to argue it with me, esp when you don't understand what i have said.
this is pretty useless

lol and i was saying
and the point of showing config live?
The point is that it is not running on a Xecuter 3 Modchip... According to the readme that is.

Either you live in a drug free america,
or you buy from the wrong place :D
I could almost get a ounce for that price
And as far as thie bios hacking stuff,
imo (not that it matters)
Its just like any other hardware+software vendor. Xecuter makes their money on the hardware. MS makes theirs on the software. Just like we've done to MS (take the subsidised hardware) people will now do to xecuter ( take the subsidised software ). If there was a magic button to stop this now xecuter wouldnt exist now would it :P
Xecuter is likely not too worried. They have a very loyal fanbase to appeal to
Reverse engineering is fair use remember :)

Hi all this tool it's one pack && unpacker for My debug kernel 1.6 and X3 rom 1.6 .
So the purpose of the packer/unpacker is to replace the x3 1.6 bios with your debug bios. (so as to capture the x3 eeprom I assume?)

How Hack the X3 kernel For boot on all mod chip :
ok it's very Quick lol Find in your hex editor 5842 4548 7408 and replace
by 5842 4548 7400 when you replace 0x08 by 0x00 your jmp continue and not jump
to protected offset ;=) .

i have started the x3 eeprom Embeded i have dumped the x3 bios unpacked in my ram
for check where is this eeprom with all my x3 setting

So I assume knowing the memory locations used by the live config will help us locate where they are refrenced in the bios.

I made a post earlier about supporting xecuter, but now that i think about it a lot of people made a good point about suitable v1.6 BIOS options. My girlfriend has a softmoded v1.6 running with Evox M8. I would love to give her this BIOS release as xecuter does make some fantastic BIOS releases. So don't flame me, I see the wisdom in both sides of the argument, now if only i could interpret Yoshi's readme file I may be able to make understanding of exactly what is going on. :P
good work Yoshi let's see what this can do
I just noticed something and was hoping that perhaps a moderator could change it. As far as I'm concerned I don't have the slightlest clue as to what a Bois is and it pains me to see that in the topic. It may be a small error, but it is also quite annoying. Anybody else agree with me?
EDIT: changed mod to moderator to avoid confusion.
Even if they did get this thing to write shit to a chip on the mod, would it really happen?
Xoduses flash os rom will let you flash stuff by xodus ONLY.And its gotta be in recovery mode.
Even if they did get it to s tore in bios, it would mean reflashing every little button press or change, and that sucsk when ure a perfectionist.
If you want X3 Config Live! get an x3. End of it.

QUOTE(Loto_Bak @ Feb 17 2005, 07:45 PM)
I believe xecuter's 1.6 bios in their x3 bios is m8 anyways.
dos prompt crashes everytime i use the packer, im sure its something i am doing wrong, just curious if anyone else is having the problem with yoshis' .bat file.
trash it ...
hi daweeze02
I dont know if the x3 bios can use an imbedded eeprom or not, but if it can, then can't you use the xbox's eeprom chip to store the CL settings? (if it has enough space)
Or, like others suggested, have it search for a settings file on the HDD like iND bios.

There are several "fixed" locations on the HDD where X3 config could store its data, in the first 512 kB of the HDD (the "config area", you have to find some unused positions in there) or at the 4 kB superblock at the beginning of every filesystem, of which only the first 18 bytes are used.
QUOTE(mrpowerbook345 @ Feb 20 2005, 04:29 PM)
flashed my 1.0 tsop with the hacked x3, and i guess its cool. besides the intro, i cant tell the difference between the x3 bios and the x2 4981 bios. any tricks i can try with this new bios? button combinations? any way i can tell the bios is different?

Yoshihiro X3 Bios Beta1
>> Yoshihiro released a new modified version of the Xecuter3 v1.6 BIOS (only the MS-based hacked bios, not 'Config Live' (X3 OS)), that boots on all modchips (with 1+mb flash), with specific settings in the embedded X3-eeprom:
QUOTE
* For the X3_yoshi_Hack_2913_DEBUG_1.6B_06.bin you have LBA 48 enabled for F:\\ only and have the bleu animation with the white background.
* For the X3_yoshi_Hack_2913_DEBUG_1.6B_67.bin you have LBA 48 enabled for F:\\ up to 137Gig and G the rest have the red animation with the white background.
My Settings in X3-Eeprom:
* In Game Reset = Enable
* Debug Bios Mode = Enable
* XBOX Live Login Disable = Enable
* No Reset On Eject = Enable
* LBA 48 Mode = F up to 137Gig and G the rest ;; only for the 67
* LBA 48 Mode = F Get all ;; only for 06
* Dashboard Boot Drive = C
* Check Clock For Errors = Enable
* WireFrame Flubber = Enables
* Led Color = Red
* Display TM logos = Disabled
Official Site:
http://www.yoshihiro-dev.comFull nfo/readme: here
in other words, it will only be a few weeks tops till a tool is released to inject an eeprom with your own custom settings however you want them directly into the bios before flashing, thus having the functionality of the x3 but without the convenience of changing settings without reflashing.
Well I just installed an X3CE in a 1.6 xbox so ¬_¬
Will this kind of thing work with a softmod? If so then I don't care about the config live, I would just rather have my girl using this BIOS than Evox.
congrats on knowing how to quote
and no need to tell me any of your speculations on what may/may not be in any xecuter products, considering my involvment with xecuter and all

I tried Yoshi's hacked x3 2913 on my smartxx. It works fine except for the rolling video. It looks like its forcing my video to PAL. How do I fix this? Also, I'm using the HDTV pack so do I need to customize it for that too?
Thanks.
first off, you have to unpack the bios, secondly x2 chips can use 1024k bioses, and lastly the eeprom settings that would normally be in the x3 eeprom are not what is being hex edited, the hex edits you have to do are being done to the default settings that come with the bios.
get your history right
All u moms!

I have x2 Pro modchip on my xbox v1.2. I just wonder if l can use any hacked X3 bios on my modchip. I also have some other questions too:
1/ X3 Patcher Beta v1.1 by Yoshihiro and Hyperstar to edit features of the X3 2914 bios so you can flash on any mod chip. Is that right?
2/ X3 2914 BIOS hacked which tested on Smartxx modchip on xbox 1.6. Does anyone use this on any other modchip like X2 and on other xbox version?
I am looking for an X3 bios hacked for my x2 modchip, xbox v1.2. Please help.
Thanks.

roadkiller, it will work on your pro chip, and why would you even bother taking the time to ask and wait for an answer if you have a pro chip? if it messes up somehow, REFLASH and you're set.

I had the same problem at first. Just goto http://www.dll-files.com/ and download the dll files that you are missing. They come zipped so just unzip and put the dll files into your windows\system folder then it should open fine. As far as using the patched bios I have yet to get it to work.
imagenius your name certainly fits you.....
is your brothers xbox a v1.6? if not the v16 bios certainly isn't going to work
Anyone have had any sucess using an patched x3 bios 1.0 -> 1.5 on an smartxx chip ?
Tried flashing it, but everytime i use it.
It just shutdowns and reboots back into the smartxx menu.
QUOTE(imagenius @ Mar 3 2005, 08:17 PM)
I just tried the 1.1 patcher tool on the 2914 v16 bios and flashed it to my little brother's X2.6 and all I get is frag. Does the patcher also patch it for use on any chip or does it just change the settings in the bios (though that wouldnt make any sense because if you had a real x3 you wouldnt need to patch the settings)? What am I doing wrong?
It says on his website that he's quiting the xbox scene. I don't know if its for a short period of time or forever.
