Updating bios

squallseifer · #1 17-05-2004, 22:07

Hi im using an Xecuter 2 modchip and i plan on upgrading the bios because im using the standard one it came with. Now i am unsure of whether my modchip is flash upgradable because the brand of modchip i am unsure of. It could be a homebrew one, anyway would it be possible to try flashing it with say a 256k bios? Or would i end up buggering the xbox if im unsure of all the info needed?

u could doi it through evox dependin on ur original bios..
or u could buy the x2 programmer

Yup i think i got a grip on how to do it, however its the uncertainty of it working is my main gripe. (Did u like how i used grip and gripe together?...man im awesome)
But seriously, would anyone have a clue as to whether i can safely flash my unknown modchip xecutor 2 bios? Or does one really need to know about the current bios? Basically would it be a risk to chuck the bios on cd-rw and using evox flash my modchip?

if u have evox possibilities
then we could care less.. cuz then u have a decent bios and u can flash it through evox

Lets translate ax words lol

what hes trying to say is:

if you have evolution x installed on your xbox use its flashing program to flash your new bios. If you dont have evox or anything like it go buy a x2 programer for www.foundmy.com or somewhere like that

I wasn't mocking you....
..i was just born stupid!

K guys i do have evox
But do i have to be 100% sure of whether my chip is flashable? Or are all chips flashable?

well...... its a start if you tell us what it looks like i should be able tell you what mod it is and also what colour is the xbox logo when the mods enabled?

squallseifer · #14 20-05-2004, 03:16

Oh man i wish i wish i knew this ..(and that i didnt eat that fish)
Im too scared to open the box tho, its probably a homebrew chip rite coz then it would advertise somewhere during boot up the name of the chip

seaneyb2003 · #15 20-05-2004, 03:19

what colour is the xbox logo and take a look around the side and turn on the modchip and see if theres a flashing led inside
