Post by: oblox on February 22, 2004, 11:38:00 AM
Heck if they intergrated a music player into the chip to work with it (even if the files for the player were stored on a partition) a lot of people would buy it.
Easier still if XBMC supported it some sort of default track listings etc and just boot it directly from the chip something like no a/v boot this set bios.

wtf do you need 3mb of bios space for?? you only need one bios that is 256k.

1. What else can the port be used for?
2. What can the lcd all display so far?
3. Will it be possible to make it software controlled (eg XBMP/C)?
Another reason i posted is does anyone know what lcd's are compatible and where to find them

Then you are one of the few that could benefit from a larger flash space, and should get the bigger chip. However, for the average joe, 1 MB of Flash BIOS space is plenty.

Yes, you guys may hate Team Xecuter but the do make awesome bioses and push the envelope with every new release and other bios makers only follow in their footsteps as they make the advances.

I haven't seen EvoX release a bios with bugs yet, maybe they are still trying to follow in Xecuter's footsteps on that one!

3mb is a little more then we all need now probably, but its cool to have, I know I can easily fill mine up. Possibly there will be 1mb and up BIOSs and the SmartXX will support them with room to spare.
Large memory is a much better feature then a slightly better LCD. I personally don't think there will be a use for the LCD for quite some time...

ya, evox did a lot of things first, like that one nifty feature... 'hdd swap' I think it was called. Xecuter used to give credit to evox for that hack in their "bios features", but it seems that line has been removed now.
and I think we have seen the end of the line as for xecuter bios's for all. An op in #teamxecuter told a user yesterday that the x3 would probably not work on other chips.

Thats pretty costly for just an LCD. They will have to come out with a SPI->Parallel converter unti for those that donot wish to spend SO much money on an lcd and can buy a cheap $10 Hitachi based LCD.
So.. whats better $$ of xenium + $45 for lcd, or $$ of smartxx + soldering + $10 lcd
Ill leave it upto you to decide.
Also, with the smartxx, dont worry about soldering, since the pins are at the end of the board a simple connector can be made (under $1) so you dont have to solder at all. Looks like a ISA socket on a motherboard.

Umm, how big do you expect this new BIOS to be? 2mb????
As I have posted in many other posts, there is absolutely no reason to ever make a BIOS that is bigger than 256k, period.
What is very possible though is for the new "OS" type BIOSs that these new chips boot with to become much larger than 1mb. The SmartXX and the X3 will both have a distinct advantage when it comes to the amount of applications that they will be able to fit into their bootup "OS's" over the somewhat limited 512k that is available to the Xenium.
I would be very surprised if OzXodus doesn't eventually add more memory in later revisions of the chip.

and for those of you wondering what good a screen is. well for me personally my xbox is connected to a projector so every so often I just want to listen to some music and it's quite a hastle to have to fire up the projector pull down the screen and dim the lights just to play some MP3s.

Good god man! These are character based screens so any game (i.e. snake) that you could psibly play, would look like crap. Also about using a color LCD as a "second monitor" The chips only support text based (ASCII) output to the LCDs thus, you would not be able to view graphics on the screen even if you did somehow manage to connect it to the chip without frying it.

The Xenium doesn't really need to. I believe most dashboards are capable of accessing an sntp server and setting the clock. You can configure evox, for example, to skip the clock check, then access a sntp server to set the clock. Presto. Clock always automatically set. No worries.

CMOS BATTERY: theres a thread on this in the Hardware mods section... it's actually turning out to be pretty easy to do
PS2/serial/parallel connectors: the port the modchip plugs into is capable of handeling this when you properly use a super I/O chip. the software needs to support it too (so no you wont be able to use keyboard/mouse in your xbox games this way ever) as far as serial and parallel go that essentially what these modchips are adding when the allow LCD support... but again the software needs to support the devices. (I personally think a daughterboard with PS2, serial, and parallel ports would be awesome)
USB: the xbox already has 4 of these and if you're using actual USB devices you can always add USB hubs for more devices.
What I'd like to see: I've wanted to see LCDs in the xbox for quite some time now and it's looking to be finally happening.
Another item I'd love too see is just a simple set of I/O points: this would allow for a wide variety of add ons like LEDs controlled by something in the software or fans controlled by the software. for instance if you made an I/O device that evox supported you could do something like when the CPU temp reaches a specified point it would turn on a Red LED and boost the fan to full speed, until it went below that temp. or you could add push buttons that could do different things
say you had 4 push buttons 1 could automatically start XBMP 1 could automatically start halo... heck maybe even make a push button with a program that checks your MP3 database on your Desktop against the collection on your Xbox and syncs up the changes. another idea would be a single button to back a game up to your HDD and then start playing it or something... with outputs from this I/o (and XBMP support) you could configure an array of LEDs controlled by the music you're playing to have a real life visual effect based on the music and not just something on the screen... there really are a lot of possibilities
with an I/O device like that it'd become even more usefull to have an LCD (espeically for audio media stuff)
then again a parallelport/serial port is essentially just an I/O port

I have talked to OZX ppl, and as well Arti and Cap269 have posted, a circuit to convert from the Xen SPI to the cheap Hitachi Parallel interface is very cheap to make. Only requires a HC595 chip.
It is only a matter of days before a finished design is made avaialble. Most likely it will be FREE, so anyone can make. Seing as its very simple. But Iam sure it will also be made available for sale too (Hell Id do it if ppl cant solder and want it)
Thirdly, the adapter can be used on the smartxx even if its quick soldered. Its not a big clumpy adapter, thin.
So right now both mods do the same and they are priced very similarly. It comes down to, do you want to have the extra features of the smartxx (which will be added to XEN for sure in time). And also personal preference and whcihc you can get easier. So instead of making it some sort of flaming thread, make it constructive about the Xenium and LCD.
Thats my rant for the day.

Post by: greengiant on February 24, 2004, 06:15:00 PM The 3.3v stby is NOT available on the LPC. SO there will be need of special connector or soldering. It is possible to provide power to the XEN while the xbox is off, but then comes into play if it was made to work even if the xbox is off. Since cromwell is doing the work, that means the xbox is doing the work. For it to be able to stuff while the xbox is off, the CPLD or other controller (which it doesnt have) would need to do the work. Post by: Corspegrinder99 on February 24, 2004, 06:25:00 PM

I meant USB 2. And for things like ps2 connections, well ps2 converters are a rip of (yer, yer USB keyboard already got one no what you mean). Though what I'm saying is. Not for games, but to drive Linux forward. Obviously we would have to add specialized support but it would be great. Lots of general non-usb stuff could be added. And essentialy turn it into a useable pc, meaning everyone has got a ps2 keyboard and maybe people have got usb 2 hard drives etc. Would be great for Linux. Hey were can I get these Cheap LCD displays in the UK, I mean I aint got an Xenium but I want it for my PC. Cheaper than them Matrix specialized pc's versions huh?

No you don't you just send it into a standby mode EDIT spicymeatball911 why don't you create a flip type or hidden version, you know where you flip up or to the side a panel or just flip up and twist around a piece of the front... just a thought Post by: Tommy Vercetti on February 25, 2004, 06:30:00 AM

yeah ... I have a learning remote and because of the delay to turn back on after you turn off using the xIR I programed the xbox power button on my remote to send an off then on signal so I use the same button for powering on and off my remote:  xIR + IGR = ultimate in lazyness for long gaming sessions now if I had a remote for my projector, my screen, and my lights.... i would never have to get up EVER

   No.. but we are still waiting to hear how he did it.. and why didn't he release some details on it? Post by: HSDEMONZ on February 26, 2004, 12:08:00 AM
Considering how long wireless remotes have been on the market for tv's.. it was really disappointing to see the XBOX RCA remote not have the ability to turn the XBOX on and off. (lack of receiver on XBOX) Post by: twistedsymphony on February 26, 2004, 03:29:00 AM

Like my reciever. Its got a zillion options, or am I wrong?) Post by: oblox on February 26, 2004, 10:19:00 AM http://www.ozxodus.c...=article&sid=18 Yippie!

nice remote how much did it cost?
Post by: twistedsymphony on February 26, 2004, 02:14:00 PM also it's not a universal remote... its a "learning" remote which means it can learn from other remotes and be programed for custom outputs (like programing buttons sequences to a single button) as far as I know there arn't any universal remotes that support the Xbox DVD remote (correct me if I'm wrong) I've never seen them.

Post by: twistedsymphony on February 26, 2004, 08:00:00 PM any idea if the PS2 DVD remote uses other codes?

so you're dutch? getting it from inkoopactie.net? i've just bought one of those 20x4 LCD's from that I.A for just 15. The SmartXX has much better LCD support. Any HD44780 or compatible LCD will work. no hasle with expensive SPI LCD's... (and i'm not yet talking about the hasle to go from the DB9 connector on the LCD to the chip) Post by: erexx on March 16, 2004, 11:04:00 AM and still know what's going on with the Xbox. Being able to navigate without a TV at all would be great. Here is a FAQ I found at Bit-Tech that should be a good read for almost anyone who is interested.
