done that but when u read the bios creation tutorial it says to add bios to banks 1 &2 in xbox bios manager which equals 512k but every screen shot I see, they are flashing the bios with 1024k - see my dilemma! or do u need to add it to all 4 banks? I have the m8plus_16 bios.


My console is a 1.6

flash it with the x3 bios. x3_1959.bin is 1024k that's the one that you need.

no, just flash it via http or iso which ever you prefer. personally i would do the http method. easy a pie.

leave the switches at on on off off off

just leave the switches alone once you have flashed the chip.

everything can be done in the x3cl

yeah, but i will want to turn flash protect back on once it is all sorted, so does the switches actually change what you are booting from?

the flash protect switch is independent of the other switches. it just enables or disables the flash protect function of the chip so that you don't flash it by mistake.

and if you want to flash a different bios on the other banks or boot to other banks that can all be done in x3cl.
