Dear friends and fellow modders, I would like to start this post by first of all offering a huge great big thank you to all participating and particularly the mods for all their fantastic work and great advice!

I'm particularly happy right now because I just put my latest project back together (X2.6CE on v1.6) and it _actually_ works when I didn't think it would. Ever. I had to use the Xecuter Programmer to fix the problem I had in my previous post (Summary: Bad flash), I am now running with the X2CL v5035 bios in banks 3&4, with flashbios 3.03 in banks 1&2.

Ok the problem? Well .. I'm used to the X3 and so I'm slightly concerned that I see no kind of GUI when I boot the X2CL bios. I see the line which says something along the lines of "Xecuter Config Live Preparing to Run" or whatever it is in big white letters, then straight after that I see the green xbox booting animation, with xecuter rox my box below that, then I'm straight into my default MS dash.

1) Am I correct in presuming that this is normal behaviour until I have installed Slayers or AID? I am aware that the X2 configuration is stored in an .ini file -> Does this replace any kind of GUI? I am aware I can configure my dash boot priority using this.

2) Is there a manual for X2CL? I am already aware of the PC software available for configuring X2CL by writing out a compatible .ini file, but is there a users manual available anywhere? I tried looking on here briefly, then tried some googling but no results so far .. If anyone has a quick link I sure would appreciate it!

Thanks for your time and effort fellas!

just set your preferences in the ini file and save it in the c directory of your xbox .... there are a number of pc software utilities availible to help you configure the ini file .... Remember this bios is for the 2.6 so no flash GUI ... if thats what you want stick to the X3
