Extracting Bios File from Chip

[Danthuyer]

G'day mates ! (typical aussie speak i swear)

I've had a bit of a break from the OGX scene however I am back now and picking up the peices after I did what I wanted to with some old projects.

Thanks to @SS_Daveive got a $20 bargain 1.4 board working again (afte I butchered an LPC build) however I want to extract an old bios file I wrote a couple of years ago on my Duo x3 chip.

Whats the best tool to estract it and then edit it to see what is in it so I can modify it for this new box. As I have a strong feeling the file I wrote was for a slimeline I made with a DVD delete, however It has some colours and settings I changed that I want to use for this new OGXBox.

Cheers - Dan

Evoxdash to backup the BIOS booting from the modchip.  It will be stored in a backup subfolder where evoxdash's xbe file is stored on the hard drive.  The file will be 1MB in size.  A dump of the original v1.0's 1MB-sized flash.  The BIOS most likely has a base size of 256KBs.  Thus, backup / bios.bin file contains 4 copies of the BIOS.

The Windows application to check the settings will either be XBTool or EVTool.

XBTool for X2 BIOSes and EVTool for evox BIOSes.  Depending which BIOS version it is, you may have to use older releases of these applications to find a version that supports your BIOS version.

What is the kernel version of the BIOS you are running?
