naits Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Hello, I believe I've got a V1.4 with a Winbond TSOP. I am aware that I've got to solder some points here.. But what BIOS should I flash? And what should I use? hexen with raincoat? And with the Bios checker it tells me it's a "modchip" or "homebrew"... What can that mean? The xbox is softmoded. First time flashing Thanks in advance. This is what it shows with XBOX BIOS CHCKER 5.0 Edited February 2, 2020 by naits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only reports the BIOS that was used to boot and if you have soft modded it that's what is reporting not the onboard BIOS Chip You need to add the links on the main board R7D2 and R7D10 to enable the TSOP flashing. Then I use Xblast to flash the TSOP chip this what ever 256kb BIOS your planing on using. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod.

But then I can just throw that away ;) I am going to add those links today. And I will try to get a hold of xblast. Ind 5004.67 is what I am planning to use. Will update here if everything goes well, and ofc if it doesn't :D but thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that can't Soft-Mod. I've have now been successfully flashed! I ended up using Hexen 2018.. I didn't get xblast to boot for whatever reason. I chose the ind bios 5004.67 from the menu within hexen for the winbond tsop. And it worked. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 All good I would not touch Hexen with a 20foot barge pole, the final straw for me was I tried to use one of the apps on the disk and when I rebooted the Xbox my dash had changed.

Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod. Hehe, yea after I used it the dashboard changed a bit.. But for now it's fine by me. But I've seen some nice ones here and there.. Do you recommend any specific ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 You will find that any time you use the Hexen disk it defaults your dash. I use a SlaYers disk that leaves thing alone and doesn't leave a foot print on your hard drive. Have a look at XBMC4Gamers but the choice of Dash is a personal thing.

Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod. Ahh okay, well I guess I am making a slayers disk then But yea XMBC4Gamers, I have it as an app right now.. But I would like it to boot that as default, but I am not sure how to change that at the moment.. So I am looking into that And it's currently downloading MAME emulator, so I gotto wait for that...

SS_Dave Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 With IND bios there is a config file on the c:drive you should be able to set it there or hexen can change the default dash as well Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod.

I changed DASH1 from: DASH1=\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2\evoxdash.xbe to: DASH1=\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\Apps\XBMC\default.xbe In a file named ind-bios.cfg And it worked flawlessly!

I couldn't find the config file for ind bios, so i used a custom m8 plus bios with the path for xbmc4gamers and flashed via gentoox lol Edited July 1, 2020 by Lenox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Have a look in the downloads there is a new version of Hexen 2020 with some of the bugs fixed. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
