I have an xbox v1.0. I installed the xbit pogopin method. I checked to voltage at each pin according to http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/lpc-diag.php and everything checked out. I put it all back together. I flashed bioses 3, 4, 5, and 6 with Evo M7, Executer 4979.06, Executer 4980.06, and Executer 4981.67, respectively.
(Actually I wasn't sure which Executer to flash with, the one ending in .06 or .67, so I did a little of both)
I booted my xbox and and noticed that the external xbit board's led was lit up green. The tv display looked normal before installing the xbit.
I wasn't sure if the xbit was working alright or not but I went ahead and tried to install evox dash build 3935. In the evoxdash directory I renamed evoxdash.xbe to default.xbe and evox to evox.ini. I then added two 265MB zip files named 00Dummy and 00ADummy to the dir. I made the dir into an iso using the Extract-XISO v2.2 GUI. Then I burned the image with Nero 6 to a Memorex DVD+RW at 2.4X using a Lite-On 8X burner.
I put the DVD into my xbox and hoped that in a few seconds I would be able to play movie dvds, ftp with my desktop and even install Linux; instead I got a message that my xbox can't recognize my disk.
I have rewritten my boot disk, changed the dip switches to evey possible bios, and I still can't get any further than I could have before I bought the xbit.
I am trying to narrow down the possible problems. I have a few questions.
First is there a way to tell if the xbit bios is booting up with having a dashboard installed?
What should the screen look like after booting for the fisrt time?
Does the green led mean that the xbit is installed correctly?
Can I get evox dashboard on my drive without using the DVD rom? (ftp, install on desktop, etc)
Can I load the dash using an external DVD rom and bypassing the xbox DVD drive?
Please help. I've looked everywhere and found that other people are experiencing similar problems. I hope that the answers to my questions will also help everyone else. It's really annoying to have someing and not being able to use it.
when it boots up instead of m$ under the big X it should say exacutor_2. this is how you know the bios is working
If the bios is not working then try realigning the chip. i found out that my problem was that my d0 pin was not aligned correctly. The led lite up even when it was not correctly aligned
