new media check requiring latest bios?

[silentpanda]

thanx for the info,

that would require me to upgrade my chip to the newer versions ? (i.e. i have the 256k matrix chip - so i would have to get a 512k or a 1mb chip -i checked around and the 4981 version is for the 512k chips -)

i ask b/c i had no problem with Burnout 3 and that came about the same time (1 month or so ) it is not that i don't want to upgrade my chip - but i really don't - i am not inclined to put things back together properly once they have been taken apart - even if they are soder-less (i.e. the paper weight that looks like a PS2)

again thanx for the info

You dont need another chip. I had the latest version of bios on my old matrix. You may have to shrink your bios though. But there are tools to do such things.

Yah, just look for a program called "xbtool". You can resize bios images, change boot colors, turn off the animation, change boot programs..etc. If you don't want to upgrade, you can also just patch the games manually. They all share the same line of code that stops it from running off of other media.
