Two Bioses

[Swinginstan]

Hullo. I have used the EvoX bios on my Xbox v1.6, xecuter 2.6lite, until today when i decided to flash in the brand new 5032 bios. Everything worked extremly well, thank you Team Xecuter!

I experienced one problem thouh. I accidently flashed the bios onto bank 1, where cromwell was. I now have 5032 on bank 1 and Evox on bank 2. Is it possible to reinstall cromwell where EvoX is now, in that case, how?

get FlashX app. for ure xbox, and use xbtool to make the bios 256k, and flash it to bank 2 .

B|aCk0ut.

Nokia is correct about using FlashX, however you'll want to use X2 Bios Manager (found in downloads section of this site) make flashbios a 512k size by loading it into the first and second bank of the program and save it and then flash using FlashX

why would you even want to ?

i dont get it ?

Hmm, im not a blackbelted xboxhacker (obviously) but the reason that i want cromwell on one bank is that if Team Xecuter decides to release a new bios with bleeding edge features, i will want to flash det one to my chip. Is that possible without Cromwell?

FlashX (already mentioned), the built-in flash in EvoX... there are probably more, but these seem to be the two most commonly used based on posts here.

I won't argue that having cromwell/flashbios on the "alternate" bank isn't a bad idea. If you manage to goof something with the flash of your other bank, or bungle your ini you still have a generic bios available allowing you to flash to something that will allow you to recover if needed. This is one of the benefits of using FlashX, you can flash to only part of your mod chip without having to build a whole 1MB file. Program up your cromwell/flashbios/other fallback on banks 3-4 and just update banks 1-2 with the fresh new versions of X2 when released.
