i've got a 2.6CE, with 4983 1mb on it, cut a long story short i'm having problems with a 1.4 box with focus encoder, so want to try a different bios, the chip and xadapter are fine, both been tested in other box's and in this one with a 2.6b. Which other bios can i use, that will work????? i was thinking one of the m7's but not used it before. any help greatly appreciated

cheers

The newest version is 5035. Be sure you use the vOld bin and not the one for a 1.6.

i'll try it, thanks. this is my original problem........

this is really weird, and very difficult to explain, so i've naming the 3 machines A,B and C.
A=1.4, 2.6ce, frags
B=1.3, 2.6ce, works
C=1.4, 2.6b, works
i've tried this chip(2.6ce from machine A) and bios in a friends xbox(ref 'B'),the xecuter works fine (the xbox(refB) doens't have the focus graphics chip, but the other type). When i try the xecuter 2.6ce(from machine A) in xbox(ref'A') it doesn't work, neither does my friends chip(2.6ce) from his box(ref'B') when tried in xbox(ref'A'). So I assumed it was the adaptor, not so. I tried an older style chip (still a 2.6) with the solderless adaptor to check if its the adaptor that's not working, and it works. and then i retried the 2.6ce chip (from xbox(refA)) in the xbox(ref'C') that had an older chip installed, but also had a focus encoder, and it doesn't work, just frags. so i'm presuming there is an issue with this bios and the graphics cards in machines A and C. When i check the BIOS installed on machine 'C', its says bios unknown, so i'm not sure which is a working bios for the focus encoder.

Is there a problem with this bios(4983 1mb) and the focus encoder??? Or can someone let me know which bios works with a 2.6ce and a 1.4 version xbox with focus encoder. Please help, its frustrating!!! thanks

Get 5035, and leave it at 512k. Flash and give it another try.
