Disabling Chameleon Modchip Via Software...
« on: November 29, 2005, 10:41:00 AM »

There's an option in the Evox dash to disable (switch to TSOP) my Chameleon modchip via software so I can go on Live. I was wondering would it be possible for me to implement this code as an option in the configuration menu of the UIX dashboard, much like the Reset, Power Off, etc option buttons? Here is the code contained in the Evox.ini to do this:

CODE
[Menu]
Section "Root"
{
Section "System Utils"
{
Item "Settings",ID_Settings
Item "Flash BIOS",ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Backup",ID_Backup
Section "Chameleon Mode 1",ID_Chameleon_Mode_1
{
Line "Mode 1 (4x256k)"
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 0",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 1",ID_Chameleon_Bank_1,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 2",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_3,ID_Full_Reboot
Line "-=*-*=-"
Item "Flash Bank 0",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 1",ID_Chameleon_Bank_1,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 2",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_3,ID_Flash_Bios
}
Section "Chameleon Mode 2",ID_Chameleon_Mode_2
{
Line "Mode 2 (2x512k)"
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 0,1",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 2,3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Full_Reboot
Line "-=*-*=-"
Item "Flash Bank 0,1",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 2,3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Flash_Bios
}
Section "Chameleon Mode 3",ID_Chameleon_Mode_3
{
Line "Mode 3 (1x1024k)"
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot
Line "-=*-*=-"
Item "Flash Bank 0,1,2,3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Flash_Bios
}
Section "Chameleon Mode 4",ID_Chameleon_Mode_4
{
Line "Mode 4 (2x256k + 1x512k)"
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 0",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 2",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Full_Reboot
Line "-=*-*=-"
Item "Flash Bank 0",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 2",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Flash_Bios
}
}
}


I wouldn't even know where to put this in the UIX configuration files. Is this even a plausible possiblity? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

CODE
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot

is the only part that you wan't to copy into UIX.

I think that the terms "ID_Chameleon_Release_D0" and "ID_Full_Reboot" are built into Evox.

So if you can look at the Evox .xbe file with a binary editor you may be able to search for those terms and find out the binary code that they call and get someone to implament it into the UIX dash .xbe and edit the .xip files to call the terms.

Hope that helped.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
