So i need a complete list of bits and pieces that i will need.


Thx

You're going to need an EvoX Bios (or something else compatible with your chip).. Legally the chips can't be sold with bios that would enable playing backups.. You have to flash it with a bios that has the capability of running unsigned code (backed up games). It's not quite as difficult once you get your hands dirty. If you're into PC's than you should have fun with it.

The EvoX Dashboard, and EvoX Bios are two different things.. Bios is necessary and the dash sure as hell makes things easier.. You could use a different dash if you wanted.. Some people have different preferences but the common one seems to be EvoX

The built in OSs on most chips have cool little utilities you can use.. For instance my Xenium ICE has a network option, A utility to lock and unlock your hard drive, a utility to clone your old stock hard drive to a newer bigger one. Nice little tools that sometimes come in handy.

Quall will no doubt correct me if i'm wrong.
