Background
I have been searching and searching for a solution there have been similar posts but nothing in them has helped I looked through over 80 pages of posts for the info.

xbox :v1.6
modchip: x2.6
bios: EvolutionX M8 Bios_v1.6 ( 1mb Bios)
HD: Seagate 200gig
Install type: everything on F:

Problem:
Evox loads up with no problems, however when i go to start an applications such as an emulator or xbmc it freezes up on the loading screen.

Suggested solutions that have not helped me out:
1. Edit the evox.ini to fix up ay errors with where the apps are at ( i compared mine to the known good files posted everything was a ok)
2. Delete all files off of X: Y: Z: (didnt help )
3. Boot to Ms dash and fix the date and time ( it was correct to begin with)
4. You have the wrong Bios ( I am thinking this one maybe the solution)
5. Reinstall evox ( Good ole slayers 2.6 I reinstalled no luck)
6. You need a full 1mb bios on that chip. ( I have a 1mb Bios flashed)

Conclusion:
I am thinking that the bios maybe the issue , however everything i have read says that this bios should work.
I have tried to use the x2_5032_v16plus_512k bios however i cannot open it with the evtool (v 1.0.8 or 1.0.9) to make it point to the F: for evox therefore this bios will not work anyway for me .

I thank you for taking the time to read this and your replies:)

you need to patch the 5032 bios with your partition setting
it explains in the readme files that comes with the bios

evtool is not work with 5032 as it is not needed

everything can be editted by the x2config.ini file that should be placed on the E or F drive

check out the readme1st.txt file for lots more info on the bios

since your using a 2.6 on a 1.6 make sure that your using bank two. Ive modded many 1.6s and for some reason when you load the bios from bank 1 nothing loads. it just freezes.
