Blobby85 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hey guys, right now I own a 128mb xbox from n64freak and a 1tb hdd. Unfortunately some of my games do not boot, neither from hdd nor from disk. Others boot but get hung up on the loading screens. I tried different sources for my games on the hdd and they still hang, even with the original disk. Because of that I tried different FTP programs to, but it didn't help. Right now I am running some kind of IND-BIOS refering to my startup screen. I already tried reformating my hdd, but it didn't help, so my guess is that it might be a BIOS problem. The question now is, as i never tried that before (the installed BIOS was flashed by N64FREAK), which bios is the best one for my setup if i want to upgrade to a 2tb hdd? Or might the problem be of some other source? Any help is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hi Blobby85 You could try Xecuter 2 4981 Xecuter 2 5035 As both have 128meg ram support just make sure to use the right size for you MB Version 1.0-1.1 is 1meg(1024kb) Version 1.2-1.4 is 256kb https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/wiki/bios/features Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecoloteuno Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 is unfortunate that none of the tools(that i have seen) display the actual BIOS size, that way there would be no way to flash the wrong one causing bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 You need to know the base size of the BIOS. X2 4981, 4983 or older versions with lower numbered values are 256KBs in size. There's one lower numbered version, X2 4978 size 1MB, that had a built-in FTP server. X2 5035 is 512KB M8 and M8plus are 256KB BIOSes. ind-bios 5003 and 5004 are 256KB BIOSes. If you see other sizes mentioned, the base BIOS file has been stored multiple consecutive times to fill the space. For example, if you see an ind-bios 5003 stating it is 1MB in size, it is actually 4 copies of the same BIOS: ind-bios 5003 + ind-bios 5003 + ind-bios 5003 + ind-bios 5003 Each being the base 256KB size written multiple consecutive times to a file to create the larger sized dot bin file. Edit: Updated information on larger X2 BIOS version 4978 - 1MB not 512KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
