Some might say it's fake. We say good things come to those who wait.



How are you getting above the 64kb cluster size? Due to the 32bit processor.

I should also point out, XBMC will see partitions above G as long as it’s in the partition table and assign drive letters to them. Can’t remember if XBPartitioner will format above G, but if not just edit the source to remove the limit.

We need more than just an image to show it’s real, sorry for the scepticism but we have been here before with people saying they have wonderful things yet it’s a load of bull 😂

Bruh, do you even know what you're talking about?  ~900GB is the limit for 64K clusters in a FATX partition.
I bet they are just using a different partition table format that has a larger field for the starting sector.
Nobody bothered back in the day cause IDE drives capped out at 500GB and then 360 came along.

What would be sweet is if they could port exfat over somehow, and use GPT. You'd be able to plug your XBOX hdd to your PC and copy files directly without any extra software on the PC.

BTW, CPU native word size is *irrelevant* for all things. An 8-bit 6502 can do operations on 64-bit numbers just fine, as can a 32-bit native x86.
That's just like all the people back in the day who said you can't run a real OS (like linux) on OG because it didn't have a real CPU.
OG is just a legacy-free PC. The PIII isn't crippled or modified in any way that matters.

Cerbios Alpha V1 (8008.135)

This Alpha release will only support Xbox Hardware Revisions 1.0 - 1.3 we have currently disabled 1.4 - & 1.6 Support for now so DO NOT TRY it will not work.
This Release will work with Xemu.

We have features currently disabled such as custom fan speed IGR etc. This means for now you will need to get up and power cycle your XBOX to return back to dash (Don't Be Lazy)

To take advantage of the additional HDD Space you are required to use a dash that supports the extra partitions. Currently XBMC supports 8 of the 9 additional partitions natively however we are sure that can be updated in source. Any new software that people release can add support for all 9 partitions.

Software will be released by other teams to make it easier to format the drive for you just be patient ;)

Unless someone finds a way to patch existing applications such as Avalauch / UnleashX / Evox / Boxplorer etc to read these extra partitions you are out of luck. We are not too worried as it looks like the scene still has an active Dev community so we expect some awesome stuff to come out by them.

ISO Support work similar to existing method, We have tested DVD2HDD ISO rips & scene dumps.


NFO:
A new custom Bios for the Original Xbox.
Custom LBA V4 Support. HDD up to 8TB (To be further expanded again in the future)
*** WARNING USE AT OWN RISK, NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT DESTROYS  YOUR EXISTING HDD CONTENT***
Custom Partition Hack (Auto Detects!)
Native XISO Support. Just run attach.xbe to load game.
Custom Error Messages with full explanation
Full 128MB Ram Support (MTRR Fix)
Custom Config for Animation Colors, Dash Paths CD Paths.
Universal Region Fix. (GTA SA NTSC Will now boot on Pal consoles, no xbe patching required) Possibly fixes other games as well.
Boots All Originals
Boots All Unsigned Code
Boots All Backups
Boots Debug XBE's
Macrovision Protection Disabled
No Patch Hack
No Reset On Eject
No DVD Rom Check
No AV Cable Check
Front Led Support

Many more things we probably forgot to mention, After all this is just an Alpha & we require the community feedback so we can add features, bug hunt & fix any issues you guys might find.

Downloads will be made available at the usual places releases were made on.

We have a public room on the XBOX SCENE Discord please join the discussions / post your test results in there.

How are you getting above the 64kb cluster size? Due to the 32bit processor.

Drives that are 2.2TIB or bigger in size have a physical sector size of 4096 bytes these days, and I think have done so for many years. My guess is that the new LBA functionality is querying the physical sector size of the hard drive and adjusting disk accesses based on the physical sector size.

With a sector size of 4096 bytes, an unsigned 32-bit integer can address sectors up to 17592186040320 bytes, or just under 16TIB.

Sorry, should have been more specific. Any chance of having a version of this BIOS be able to boot on a Chihiro board? From what I gather there aren't many BIOS options for using a Chihiro board as an Xbox motherboard aside from maybe one super old retail BIOS. Would be nice to have more options out there.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi can you elaborate on what you mean by chihiro support?

We tested the 3 known chihiro games that work with chihiro launcher on xbox and they play fine.

The games tested are
Virtua Cop 3 , Outrun 2 Beta  and Ghost Squad



Weird request, but any chance of having Chihiro compatibility?

For the "final" version a BFM version of the bios would be interesting.

hopefully IGR and fan speed controls are on the todo list in the near future, those are the only two things this is missing before it's a daily driver for me.
