You can flash it to one of the free BIOS banks that the X3 modchip has then set the bank select switches to boot it by default or keep booting the X3 BIOS to start X3CL then run the cerbios from X3CL's BIOS menu.
Although, if you're using this bios for the only thing that sets it apart from all the others (especially an X3 bios), which is 8TB HDD support, you're gonna have issues swapping between this bios and the X3 bios, so you'd have to commit to Cerbios if you want to use a HDD that fuckin' big.
Unless there are other advantages to this bios that I'm not aware of.

Anyone know if this will support x3 chips?
Just found out about this bios and it looks good
Man, i'm pretty sure the x3 will boot anything. It's an xecuter 3. Lol.
Then again, i don't know shit.

Is insignia even online yet?

I've just found this post, I understand why but 15 posts seems like a high number to contribute, I don't want to post without adding value to the forums. The guides on this site were so well written I didn't need to ask for any help, other than one issue downloading an art package to fully mod and upgrade my xbox's HDD.
Your Username is awesome.

SL4BS, a 1GHz 133MHz Slot 1.
I'm 100% confident you can also get away with using the mobile PIII version as well once you remove it from its a little adapter board but you will have to lower the bus speed to 100MHz.
Pretty much any coppermine processor should work as long as the same package type.
Also, I can almost get 1.1GHz by setting the bus higher.
Kickass. Any noticable memory slowdowns from lowering the fsb to 100?

Could the 4GB USB limit be removed with the right bios? That may be a good feature request for a future update.
I think so, but it's like, usb 1.1, so it would be kinda slow. I still would like expanded usb support, since it would be a lot more convenient for certain situations.

Well I can officially say I'm one hundred percent correct cuz I have successfully done this just the other day.
Nice! This cpu is 1ghz and 133mhz fsb? Which model, specifically?

Sorry, I just re-read your post.
Ignoring the pausing issue.... I'm gonnna say the humble xbox is not the device for you..
It's Simply not built with high quality sound in mind, Its a gaming device built as cheaply as MS could.
IMHO you are playing with the wrong device if you want 'quality' audio and audio quality is very subjective especially as you age, look elsewhere.
The cdda and wav files are the same bitrate. There's no logical reason why one format would struggle to load seamlessly while the other does not. The xbox is more than capable enough to play cd quality audio. Honestly, with my pound hdmi adapter tapping the 2.1 analog audio out, the audio quality rivals that of my vintage Sony Discmans... Which is saying something. It sounds AWESOME.

What app are you playing back the files with?
newest xbmc4xbox.

I like CDs. I will not stand for any audio with a lower bitrate than 1400Mbps. I have recently tried to rip my CDs in .WAV format, just because I want lossless encoding and playback of the files. However, when I try to play whole albums, instead of seamlessly transitioning into the next track, it will lag HARD and display the spinning "working" thing at the bottom of the screen. It will take 10-30 seconds to start the next song. However, if I just manually copy the .CDDA files off of the disc, the playback is seamless all throughout the album. It's perfect
I haven't had my box connected to the internet, but I will soon. My question is, is there a way I can rip audio to the HDD in a format that will not have issues with seamless playback and in a way that will download all the CD info from a database when my box is finally connected? I mean, I guess I could wait for the internet and then manually find out through trial and error. But fuck that. If you guys have any experience in this, I would appreciate your input.

I like the multiple igr modes. Badass.

Hmmm. Debug consoles have 128mb of ram and you can't upgrade the 1.6's memory. Not sure how vital it is to debugging, but i'm sure there's a reason they made room for the overhead.

Hypothetically you could perform such a mod and have the hard drive continue to work afterwards for an indeterminate amount of time, ideally you would have prepared another top piece with the window already installed and ready to go so you don't have the internals exposed any longer than necessary.
Based on a tiny amount of second-hand anecdotal evidence (namely the video 'Can a hard drive breathe regular air like us' by Cathode Ray Dude), I'm sure you could do it and have a working drive afterwards... Just don't leave any super important and irreplaceable files on the drive.
I actually thought of temporarily swapping lids with an identical hard drive for that purpose. Great minds think alike!
I'll try it soon and let you all know how it went.

So the slightest bit of debris will cause a failure, basically? Okay. How about magnetism? Will it be more susceptible to corruption with metal missing from the shell? Or is that not the casing's purpose?
-
I mean a window built into the actual hard drive, as well as into the case above it. I want to be able to see the platter spinning and the head seeking. Is it more vulnerable to EMF interference/damage with a section of the metal casing missing like that? If it's not a long term risk to the drive, how can I keep the internals safe while I work on modifying the metal shell before putting it back on?

Isn't IGR just start, back and triggers?
Also, why is the title, "chan?" That's so random. Lol.

Personally, I don’t think it’s worth all the trouble. Once I was finally able to boot, I formatted everything and used OGXBox installer to flash a different bios and it worked just fine. Not sure if Flashbios just didn’t like my switch or not, but I think I still have a groove in my finger from holding the switch so hard to the right lol. Can’t believe that’s all it was the whole time. Should’ve known.
On a side note, after I was able to relax and not pull my hair out, I realized the entire board and seemingly the psu also has been recapped. Someone spent some time on this thing and kept it amazingly clean. Thanks again Goodwill
You found that at the fucking goodwill? How are people around here always finding rare-ass xbox hardware at thrift stores? I never find shit like that.

Right on. I know what you mean about the ribbon. Soldering that kind of stuff makes me nervous too. The only advice i'm qualified to offer is that flux is your friend.

Finally got this POS to flash. It was nothing I was doing wrong the entire time. It was the damn switch. Once I figured out the little trick, it took maybe 5-6 times and a very sore fingertip. Nevertheless, it has accepted M8plus and now I just need to get a dash back on there and all that good stuff. Sorry for the headache and thanks tremendously for the support. I bet you guys were thinking I'm an idiot and not performing the instructed tasks.
I was about to suggest that you just solder/jump the switch, since it started to seem like that was the cause of your issue. In fact, maybe you should wire a different switch on, if that's even possible, just to avoid future PITA situations. Way to stay at it and get it done, dude.

Yeah those things are actively being produced. Not rare.

No interposer required. Interesting.

XBoyAdvance Gamesave Shenanigans
in Emulators
Posted
Anybody else ever have an issue with the GBA game saves? Pokemon in particular? The gamesaving has been very sporadic and unreliable and I've resorted to using savestates only... which makes me nervous. I've set the save type to "Flash" and to 128k, but this still does not fix the issue? Should I not even bother understanding this and move on with my life? I'm starting to think so. It just seems like a dumbass bug for such a well developed emulator, you know?
