SS_Dave Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 From the Open Xenium screen press A to open the Launch Menu Then highlight the BIOS you want to use and press A Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

SS_Dave Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 The BIOS do you have a usb to Xbox adapter ? 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...
SS_Dave Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 copy a BIOS you plan on using to a USB it can be in FAT 16 or FAT 32 select launch menu then select Add New item Select Flash The look for the drive that just the odd one out (in my case it's H drive) and select it The look for the BIOS you are going to use and select it When it's complete refer to my previous post about selecting a bios. To load a install disk have it in the DVD drive and power cycle and the select the BIOS and the disk should boot Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

HDShadow Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 I do not know the Xenium but surely if the OP wants HeXEn to boot so he can install a BIOS and a dash all he has to do is cold boot a HeXEn disc. It should be burned on DVD-R using ImgBurn at lowest supported speed. HeXEn boots slowly - there is generally a 20 - 30 second delay.

Ging3rguy Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 You can install multiple bios to the chip, you choose the bank and point it to the bios .bin file and then flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By default the Open Xenium doesn't have a BIOS to boot from and will only display the built in Operating System and cannot boot a HDD or DVD so you need to add you own BIOS's This is all the OP would have seen if the modchip when it did not have any BIOS's programed.

HDShadow Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) I assume Open Xenium does not come with instructions then because something like that would seem rather important to know. Looking at that menu I'd see the Disk Tools option and think that meant it would at least boot a burned installer disc. Apparently not - its referring only to HDD tools. If this is still the latest manual then somebody needs to re-write it to bring it up to date. The very first item should be a noob friendly guide to getting started and how to install a good basic BIOS like Evox M8+ with larger HDD support in nice, clear easy steps so you can actually use the chip. Kind of fundamental for practically............everything. Most users probably wouldn't need anything more than this. Just found this which is older but much, much better:- https://www.docdroid.net/kHVCf1v/xenium-total-noobs-guide-cap269-pdf Edited June 28, 2020 by HDShadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 It uses the last version of the XeniumOS and there is plenty of info on the net on how to use it. Here’s a link to ryzee’s github page the developer https://github.com/Ryzee119/OpenXenium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller should probably at least send the buyer a link to the install and operation manual or better yet include a $2 USB or a 20 cent CD with both on it but with everyone trying to make a buck from making and selling them that's not going to happen. The seller I used to get chips from for the PS1,PS2 Xbox used to include install instructions either on a CD or printed with the chips.

HDShadow Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Its petty obvious from this thread and others I've seen across a range of Xbox forums over the years that chips do not come with adequate info. The posters would not be having to ask these sorts of questions if they were. Of course the info is out there but you do need to go looking for it not knowing if you're going to find the answer to your question. Ergo its easier to ask the question in a well populated forum like this as you'll get the answer quicker and probably a whole load of other useful info too.
