Xecuter 2.6 CE Lite for a 1.0.. few questions regarding BIOS, etc.

[BCoon]

I am installing this chip tonight and I have a few questions regarding BIOS and dashboards. I have accesed the xbins, etc so I can get whatever files I need. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on for the past week, but that has mostly to do with the install.. Still I've read a lot, I just want to get some things clear that have been skewed along the way. This chip is "Preflashed with two different bios', legal Cromwell 3.0.3 and 3.0.1 (Linux) BIOS."

1. What is the most up-to-date bios and dash that I should use?

2. Does the bios need to match the dash? For example: EvoX w/ EvolutionX; X2 with EvolutionX; EvoX w/ Nemesis; etc..

3. Do you install the bios and then the dash, or visa versa?

4. If you need to use a different bios for different dashes, can I have a different bios in each bank so I can choose which bios (and consequently) which dash to load?

Thanks!

5. Can I/would I need to switch the bios after I install one?

Thanks again.

2. Does the bios need to match the dash? For example: EvoX w/ EvolutionX; X2 with EvolutionX; EvoX w/ Nemesis; etc..
no

3. Do you install the bios and then the dash, or visa versa?
bios then dash

4. If you need to use a different bios for different dashes, can I have a different bios in each bank so I can choose which bios (and consequently) which dash to load?
it away good to have a working flashbios on chip so do not flash both banks with bios

you can get a quick lanuch app in some dashs that let you boot to a app on startup of xbox by holding right trigger so just plasce other dash in apps fold the set quick lanuch to boot it

For a dash I would recommend UnleashX very nice and easy to use

x2 5035 bios is the lates for x2 chip
dash to use
you only need one dash something like avalanuch is one of the better ones i like XBMC much better has a lock out option for my settings as well as file but needs more user kown how you can install avalanuch as main dash and put XBMC in is as a app and use it that way
i have the x3 chip and bios so i ran my xbox as
XBMC(main dash) switch setting on on off off off
avalanuch quick boot (hold right trigger on start up of xbox)
evox dash switch setting on off on off
you have not got these option so just stick with the one dash at first till you get the hang of things
there are apps that let you pick what dash you wish to boot to but i never use them myself

Ok so avalaunch.. I downloaded the Avalaunch.0.49.3 rar.. I believe this is the most up-to-date version.. somebody correct me here..

The rar contains the xbe, xml, and two folders: media and shoutcast.. what do I do w/ all of these one I have the X2 5035 installed?
