Hi folks,
Just got this chip and it's the muts nuts! Fitting with the solderless kit was really easy. Had a few problems at first finding the bios I wanted (evoxM7) and then a few more problems getting the bios onto the chip. Turned out to be the DVD drive in my XBOX that didnt like certain types of media. Thought my experience might help others, so... to get the bios on I did this:
Follow chip instalation instructions to the letter and BACKUP YOUR EPROM !
Set up xbox FTP settings on xenium first
*(File Transfer Protocol, use Google if you need help)
default user is xbox
default pw is xbox
give it an unused local address within your network, lets assume 192.168.1.8
Connect to it through home network using default settings and the local address you gave it e.g. "ftp://xbox:xbox@192.168.1.8"
You can use windows explorer for this, just type the address into the address bar.
MAKE A BACKUP of the xbox C: and E: on PC
Create a new directory on the xbox C: called 'evoxbios'and ftp the bios across into it (drag and drop with windows explorer).
copy evox.ini and evoxdash.xbe to root of c:
skins (if you have them) go in c:\skin
On Xenium OS 'Add new launch item' from 'flash' wait a few seconds.
Select C:\ and then select evoxbios folder and then the bios file itself. Give it a name, Choose an led colour for it (external led mount is a good idea, this way you always know when your chip is on) launch new bios and your done.
All you have to do then is find a recordable media your xbox likes. I have the Philips DVD xbox drive and Sony DVD-R DMR47N2 works for me.
I have to admit this was a little more difficult than I expected, mostly due to the crappy DVD drive in the xbox.
Any question, I will do my best to help.
Anyone know where I can get the Samsung replacement drive at a REASONABLE price? thanks
Note: Once evox is up and running, you can use the FTP facility in evox, but you must edit the evox.ini file to include the correct network settings first.
