Now that the bios looks solid and has much fool-proofing included, I had a thought on adding logo control to the ini. There is only one file on disk that the bios *must* be able to find on load in order to have a customized boot, and that is the x2config.ini file. Why not add into the ini the ability for the bios to read a location to use for the x2logo.bmp? Since there are plenty of logos out there, maybe a randomize feature? Initial thoughts on the parms and surface logic-
;Path to logo, looks for file x2logo.bmp.
logoPath = e:images\x2logos\
;Randomize logo. Reads path from logoPath and randomly selects a bmp
;file in that path to display as logo. If bmp is invalid format for logo it does
;not display.
randomLogo = 0
Obviously this is hardly a change that needs to be added. Maybe file it onto the "just what the heck else can we do, once all the *really* cool things are done?" folder. Should be easier to do than the "order pizza" and "wax my car" options.
Ooh... on the subject of randomization... a flag to use random flubber/X-logo colors? Call it the "vomitorium" flag, since it may make the boot look like your xbox barfed itself.
