M8 1.6 Or M8+ 1.6 Bios?

Use M8+ 1.6. It can be edited with EvTool, and works on all 1.6 versions.

Better still, use X2.5035 1.6.

M8 1.6 Or M8+ 1.6 Bios?

It's also called umlaut in English. x2config.ini doesn't have any parameters that need the umlaut, so that's not a reason for not using it.

Use EVTool to edit the BIOS instead of Kernelbasher.

The older 1.6 BIOS should work, but if it doesn't it's not a problem, because on the next boot you can select a different bank on the SmartXX chip.

Than you for your reply..
of course the older m8 works perfect on the 1.6er box. but the question ist already whether the hardware from the xbox can damage with this bios or not. For my needs (as an old tinkerer) the m8 is very useful. The XBOX Logos (the text) that are after the installation from the kernelbasher are for me the best reason. especially since I'm a fan of the SmartXX chip. So i can use the SmartXX LOgo. I know that sounds stupid, but the way it is.

Okay again to the beginning: destroy the bios (only the m8) my xbox or not? where can i get information about this bios? Are there yet anywhere websites where the bios has been tested?

Sorry that i asking so much, but this is a gem:
