What flash should I use on a XBOX 1.1 and with a Xecuter CE Lite Plus 2.6 ?

[packster]

Greetings,

I just purchased a Xecuter CE Lite Plus 2.6 to be installed on a XBOX V1.1,

What is the recommended BIOS flash should I use for this configuration ?

I just want to make sure that I pick the correct flash,

Regards,

The x2 5035 is the latest. you won't go far wrong with that one. You'll want the x2_5035_vOld_512k.bin version as you have a v1.1 Box

x2config.ini ?

Ok thanks,

Now do I need to copy the x2config.ini file in the root of my XBOX ? Do I need to rename it ?

Thanks again,

Packster

Yes... copy the x2config.ini to your F or E drive and leave the name as it is.

be sure to follow the flashbios tutorial on the front page to flash your chip correctly

This INI file has nothing to do with what app I will be using (EVOX, Avalaunch, etc..) ?
Does the flash automatically look for the x2config.ini in my F or E drive ?

What happens if it does not see the x2config.ini file ?

I intend to use AVALAUNCH, is there any other recommendations using this setup that you could share ?

Thanks again!

x2config.ini is for you, the user, to be able to customize certain settings of your bios

if the X2 bios does not find a x2config.ini file on the root of e or f drive, then it will revert to its default settings

avalaunch is a good dash to go with, you can use the xml to setup the dash the way you want

If the ini file is not found on E or F, the BIOS will revert to the default settings which I *think* are the same as the settings found in the stock x2config.ini file. Assuming this is true, you will find the following is the default order in which the BIOS will look for dashboards.
dash1Name = c:avalaunch.xbe
dash2Name = c:evoxdash.xbe
dash3Name = c:unleashx.xbe
dash4Name = c:xbmc.xbe
dash5Name = c:xboxdash.xbe
So, if you add Avalaunch to the root of your C drive as avaluanch.xbe the BIOS will find this and load it as the dash without the ini file existing on your HDD. (again, assuming the "BIOS defaults" are the same as the virgin ini.) Personal preference, I would put the dash and other installed apps on E, or better yet F or G if you have them with an upgraded HDD. This will require that you put the ini on your drive and change it so that one of the dashxNames is e:avalaunch.xbe. (or f, or g) In mine the dash string is "dash1Name = f:dashes\ava\avalaunch.xbe" as on F I have a "dashes" subdirectory and within that I have separate directories for the dashes I play with. "ava" is where Avalaunch is located. But I'm probably just being anal.

the best bios bios for a v1.0 is it the same as the one for v1.1?

 

[Big_Whoopin]

Popular opinion around here is that the best BIOS for X2 type chips is the X2CL 5035 BIOS. There are versions for both older style (v1.0 to v1.5) and newer style (v1.6 and up) boxes. Check the X2CL forum for more info.
