Bowlsnapper Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I've placed all the files properly and set jumpers correctly. BFM loading seems to happen and then blank screen. I'm using a Pound HDMI adapter. Do I need to buy composite cables? I've read that that is probably the reason for my present misfortune. Anybody have luck running with HDMI? As a side note, ANY time a BFM is loaded on my machine, my partition table is ERASED. It's kinda freaking me out. I keep having to boot with my X3 bios, run XBPartitioner, write the table, and then Cerbios will see F:. Any idea why BFMs keep wiping out my table? ISO loaders do the same thing.

KaosEngineer Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Some people have had no problem when using component/HDMI video cables; however, many get the same blank/black screen until they use the standard definition composite (Yellow, Red, White RCA jack) cable to connect the Xbox to their TV set.

ISO loaders do the same thing. Maybe the Phoenix BIOS Loader is wiping the partition table. Not sure why it or the BFM BIOS would though. FIX Don't load a BFM BIOS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some apps or exploits make use of them, and I don't find out until my xbox crashes back to the dash and my F & G partitions are missing. Lol. Also, if other people are able to use them to run certain software, I don't wanna be the ONE guy who isn't able to and has to use alternative PITA methods to achieve the same end.

RazorStoJ Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Use composite video cables straight to the TV and not through a Scart adapter. Also use an Official Xbox controller and try again. Certain video resolutions will cause it to fail aswell as third part controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimp really needs an update to fix this issue. Most TV's don't have composite inputs anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
