xbox evox

[lostsoul1972]

Has anyone had any problems playing copied games on the evox moded xbox?

There are now 20 games on mine but the last 2 copied on wont load, they are in the games menu and when you select either of them it goes to the loading screen then back to the menu?

Any suggestions?

The 2 games in question are Brute Force & Bounty Hunter.

I've tried both games from the HD and they work fine for me. Have you tried actually burning them to DVD-R?

Also, which version of evoX are you running?

[lostsoul1972]

Actually I was just checking that myself... I believe it is 2.2

Anyway I have to goto work so will check messages later tonight when I get home.

Cheers

[SNICK!]

uum there isnt a 2.2 the latest vers is 1.8.3921
what bios are you running

[lostsoul1972]

Bios Version: EvoX 2.2
Kernal Version: 1.00.4034.01
Xbox Hardware Info: 00000001

So basically what is the latest version and how do I go about finding a copy and setting it up myself?

Any help appreciated?

Your guess is as good as mine but from what friends have told me then yes I do.

Yes that is exactly what I would like to do but am not sure exactly how to go about it.

well is u mod chip flashable? download the latest bios from nicks site it's right here on microsoft forums it's called beatelble something, then upload the bios to ur xbox on c drive bios folder than reboot ur xbox and go to system settings and look for flash bios.

[lostsoul1972]

I created a directory on c:\bios\ and copied the bios.bin file there.

There is still no option to flash the bios though. After reading a few articles what is this "mode 4, bios protect" and how do I change that to allow me to flash?

hmm you have a retail hard drive dont you

no matter just open up the evox.ini for large hard drive and copy the thing that says flash bios from that to your evox.ini

by the way whats vers of evox you running?
its best to run 1.8.3921 (grt it on my site)

for flashing bioses anyway

[lostsoul1972]

Ok I found 2 options in the evox.ini file that had been shaded out, one being FLASH and the other being BACKUP and there nw both active. I tried to do the flash but I now get the following...

Manufacturers ID bf Device ID 61
!! Unknown Flash Type !!

ok

remember to put the hash line for your chip in the flash bit of the evox.ini

thats al i can think of at the moment
if you dont know what your chip is open the case and send in pics

[lostsoul1972]

Yep ok I will vertainly do that next, off hand do you know what tools I will need to open this up and find out?

Sorry for the questions, I actually brought this unit already modified.

A TORX 10 SCREWDRIVER

[lostsoul1972]

Ok well if I could take pictures then I would, I have managed to open the case and have removed the HDD and DVD so now have full view of the motherboard.

Without pictures are you able to explaine to me what I am looking for?

Therr should be on the motherboard what looks like a small card raised up a bit, dont know what colour it will be but mine is red.

Hope that makes sense

[lostsoul1972]

I wish it where that simple :( although all the chips on the mobo are black. This is one that appears to be an added extra to the norm. There appear to be several wires running on this chip and soldered to the modo, the description on the chip is as follows. "SSI, 49LF820, 33-4C-NH, 0214095-A". With any luck there the details I am looking for otherwise I will keep trying.

[SNICK!]

same chip as mine then lol

you have to add a flash protect switch goto here for the diagrams to solder it on

by the way i am snick :)

[SNICK!]

then flash with the xecuter 2 4977 bios (on my site)

dont use the 4978 as it has bugs init!

[lostsoul1972]

Is there a simple way to tell if mine is is isnot flash protected? I would rather not stuff around with the hardware if I can aviod it thats all. As I mentioned earlier I brought this unit pre-modded :)

[SNICK!]

go into evox and goto flash bios (remember to put your chip hash in he flash bit)
and if it stays on erasing you have flash protect!

[lostsoul1972]

Nick

Even after putting in that line you suggested I still get the following...

Manufacturers ID bf Device ID 61
!! Unknown Flash Type !!

[lostsoul1972]

Ahh ok I have it now, I downloaded the bios you said but when trying to flash it said invalid size so I tried the version before that and it worked fine :) At least now I can play the two games I couldnt a few days back :)

Now is there are benafit to me updating the dash or??

[SNICK!]

uumm well yea the new dash is better than the old evox.
or you can experiment with other dashes like avalaunch or mxm or nexgen

[lostsoul1972]

Excellent, thanks everyone for there help on that.

Now with changing/updating my dash is there anything special I need to keep in mind or change or is it all firly straight forward?

Jason

[lostsoul1972]

Out of curisioty, the flash worked and I am now able to play games the I previously wasnt but as a point of interest on my evox screen it says BIOS: Unknown, Is this a known thing or should I just ignore that?

[SNICK!]

add the xecuter 2 4977 bios hash to your evox.ini . it should be in the readme file

[SNICK!]

also lost soul its a bit offtopic but why havent you logged into msn?>

[lostsoul1972]

Hey Nick thanks for your help.

I will be pritty wary of flashing down the track, I am having the ALX2+ installed in my box at the moment so with any luck i'll have that back tomorrow and will be alot happier having the bios backup features :)

Anyway talk to you soon and thanks everyone else that helped me work out the other issues. I should have stuck with the 77 flash but hey what can I say!
