Its a me again :-)
So if you think its a matter of how many different Bios you have on your chip, I disagree, because I got a LPC Mod with only one Bank and the same problems.
Since i`m using avalaunch I never again had a lockup in a game, and connecting via FTP also worked fine. Then after a while I flashed the chip from 4976 to 4977 noani_red and it worked fine, but after two days I could not connect via FTP (even after restarting the PC) so i flashed back to 4976 and now everything works fine again.
I was also wondering since when the problems started, and I think they started when I switched from xbmp 2.3 => 2.4(complex-release). Could anyone affirm this?
And why don`t you like avalaunch? The newest Version works 100% fine for me. FTP is quick, it runs stable and is skinnable.
