Although the xbox doesn't support multitasking I think you'll find the BIOS runs seperate to all other code on the xbox, it is the interface between any software and the hardware of the machine (Basic Input Output System, incase you didn't know what it actually stands for).los93sol1 said:
IGR likely works the following way, everytime a button is pressed on the gamepad it generates an interrupt or message of somesort indicating to the BIOS that a button was pressed and which one, the BIOS then passes this information onto the software, so the BIOS can intercept any button presses before the program does (this brings concerns I suppose as to whether the EEPROM reset feature is disabled whlie running software, there's plenty of games that use all four buttons pressed at the same time).
In theory the BIOS could actually provide the missing fat16/fat32 support but I don't think there's anything in the XDK that will allow you to work with fat16/fat32 formatted drives, unless someone wrote a library to do so (and when I think about it the XDK doesn't implicitly support the X3LCD either, yet clearly functionality was added via a library).
Actually IGR is controlled via the xbe that is launched.
The bios monitors launching of an XBE and it dynamically patches it to add the igr code. If things have changed(that info is old) then i apologize.

This doesn't seem much but believe us its a very cool addition to our code. It took a LOT of development time to get this to work universally so we hope it is appreciated - and when copied we hope we get credits, just as we have done on this page. The hack dynamically patches each xbe (XBOX Executable - can be games or homebrew or whatever) in memory to enable a soft reset when pressing both triggers + back + start. We had to re-route a whole batch of gamepad functions through the kernel for this, and a hell of a lot of testing so you didn't have to do any patches. Of course this hack is ideal only for those that boot their software from hard drive using a custom dashboard - but as most of you do that anyway you'll find this a real nice feature and we hope you enjoy it
the new x3 bios will b saweet... any ideas why my x3 doesnt notice i have 1959 an jus says unknown pm me if so
Yes, I have an idea!
My idea is to wait and see...
Shure there is loads of cool stuff in this new unreleased bios, but I can't see what all the fuzz is about, x3-1959 works fine...

Wow, aren't you the master-question-answerer. No need to be a smart ass, bud. Just asking a harmless Q. By the way, learn to spell SURE.
Lframe / D0
yes Schox you are right the 1959 bios does work very well!!!! the one thing I am glad xecuter has fixed is the Lframe/D0 issue. There seems to have been a bit of speculation recently that with this bug still in place your 1.6XBOX might not live as long as it could as I think this only affects 1.6 or 1.6b boxes. As I said this has just been speculation but by Xecuter fixing it it does say to me that this could have been an issue?

WE dont see it as a problem - but we added it anyway just to calm down the paranoid fewzikronix said:
erm maybe you should name the bios then? did you actually read the bios menu optionsphyushin said:
of course it recognises you have 1959 - try looking at top left of your screen
imho it's speculation and paranoia - we "fixed" as it was requestedphonix said:yes Schox you are right the 1959 bios does work very well!!!! the one thing I am glad xecuter has fixed is the Lframe/D0 issue.

True, yea I know what BIOS stands for and the raw fundamentals of how it functions, thank you for you information about how IGR works. I guess it doesn't sound like it Fat16/32 support will work past the X3CL, however, I guess it is theoretically possible. I am assuming not though because of your explanation of IGR, I think Fat16/32 support from bios level is going to be just like the wish for in-game FTP (not going to happen, but theoretically possible). Oh well...there is soo many advancements made in this release with 4 more releases projected!!! Everything from Team Xecuter is very very very impressive as always!djbass said:

I wish I was multilingual - I can order beer in Japan, and in several other non English speaking countries, but thats about it I'm afraid. I am fluent in multiple programming languages - great for talking to a computer, but not so good for talking to another person
