1) turn on
xbox with the modchip disabled
2) when you enter the default ms dash switch the mod back on.
3) when you have did this open the dvd tray by pressing the eject button.
4) now close the tray again it should boot you to the XBOX Logo and
microsoft one.
5) press eject again and this will fire up XBOX LOGO and xecuter logo.
6) evox should now boot, simply get ftp'd in and flash with an older working
bios.
hope this also helps people having problems.
If your
having problems getting the above to work try the one below.

For ppl like
me who trashed their x2 lite chips flashing with 4978 bios (yeah, yeah
sticks and stones) here is a fix I stumbled upon :-
1. Make a "Free-Xevox" xbox cd and load with x2 lite switched off.
2. It should freeze up ya box cos it's looking for the font hacks (which
aren't there).
3. Switch ya chip back on and hit the eject button.
4. Should now reboot into 4978 bios.
5. Now reflash back to 4977 and next time read up b4 u flash (hehe)
PS. did it twice to confirm it works, experiment with the above slighlty if
it don't work 4 u.
peace out

X-ecuter Bios 4978 Problems ?
Posted by
Theendisgone at
18:12 PM
CAUTION WHEN
FLASHING YOUR MODCHIPS
WITH THE LATEST X-ECUTER BIOS
Some of the people on #xboxemu have flashed the latest 4978 bios & then
found there xbox no longer working.
Ofcourse this is only with the modchip turned on & if using the 4978 bios.
Example
of what has been said by one user:
Stevey:
I have X-ecuter 2.0 Lite Modchip using 4977 bios with Xbox Version v1.1,
then using Evolution-X flashed the new 4978 bios ( X2_4978.bin ). i.e Erased
old bios flashed the new one xbox shuts down, however the xbox will no
longer boot with the modchip enabled. ( Getting 3x reset and red/green flash
)
Sin-Tex:
I decided to try the bios myself using Xbox Version 1.2 & a X2.1 Lite chip.
Got the same problem, flashed perfectly using Evo-X Dashboard but got "3x
reset and red/green flash" when turning xbox back on.
GeoFFala:
Flashed 4978 bios o.k using X2.2 Pro with Xbox Version 1.3, however has
mentioned that now some of his applications will no longer boot from the
hard drive.
Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you have any info regarding this.

XECUTER2 BIOS Build 4978
Posted by
Theendisgone at
17:49 PM
Team
Xecuter presents XECUTER2 BIOS Build 4978
Release Date 22nd August 2003
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So what's new ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well we've been saying it for a long time - that Bios's would 1 day breal
the 1MB barrier and beyond.
Team Xecuter are proud to give you a glimpse into to the future of Xbox
Bios's and Modification hardware.
We have acheived another world first by embedding an entire FTP server into
the BIOS - so as soon as you
install the mod you are able to FTP into your XBOX with no hacked dashboard
installed - or you may have evox,
avalaunch, mxm or another installed but you messed up the settings. Those
worries are now a thing of the past
with X2 4978. Now bear in mind this is a glimpse at some of the ideas we're
working very hard on with X3 - it's
taking a long time to produce so we thought you at least deserved to get a
glimpse of what to expect.
XBOX is set to a Static IP: 192.168.10.123, Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0,
Login/Pass: x3 / x3
Simply setup your NIC to a similar IP (e.g. 192.168.10.50 with a subnet mask
of 255.255.0.0 and NO GATEWAY or DNS)
The mod acts as normal in default mode - you won't even notice anything is
different. EvoX FTP settings are not
affected and you have your perfectly normal (if you can call it normal) X2
dashboard.
To activate the FTP Server - simply press and hold the "A" button on bootup
and then connect to your XBOX :)
Speeds are not as fast as can be (dont forget this is Alpha) but you will
still get a respectable 2000KB/Sec
I recorded an average: Transferred 1 file totaling 19,302,690 bytes in 10.23
(1,867.47 KB/Sec)
I'd also like to point out that we have changed the dashboard boot sequence:
1) evoXdash.xbe
2) avadash.xbe
3) mxmdash.xbe
4) xboxdash.xbe
Enjoy this latest release - trust is when we say we have SO MUCH MORE in the
pipeline :)
FCEUltra-X v9
Posted by
Theendisgone at
12:38 PM
Xbox Scene Forums
What's New :
- Fixed bug where emu would crash if you tried to use Famicom Disk System
options on
non-FDS games.
- Different PAL/NTSC sync method. Should work for everyone - let me know if
something
works worse for you now.
- 480p, 720p, 1080i video modes
- Switching to a high-res mode eats up a lot of extra memory. Transition
effects
with the default FCEUltra skin may act funny from time to time because of
this. Games
should play normally, however. If you are using a skin for FCEUltra that is
not the
default one, then I cannot guarantee that things will work correctly in
high-res mode.
If you are having problems in high-res mode,then I suggest downloading a
very simple skin
(one with no sprites, for example) and using that instead.
- Hardware filters - point, bilinear, trilinear, anisotropic
- Relax shares like $ROOT$ should work now.
- Selectable throttle speed - control how fast your throttle/fast forward
functions
- New option to auto-load the most recent save state. Disable from the
Configuration menu.
- Auto-Screenshot Capture Mode - when turned on, screenshots will be taken
at regular frame
intervals. This interval is user-specified by the "Auto-Screenshot Capture
Delay"
setting on the Configuration menu. Useful for ripping sprites.
- Several new transition effects. Currently, the transition effect is set to
"random". If you
want to set the transition effect to a specific setting, then go to Main
Menu -> Configuration ->
Configure Skin -> Transition Effect. If you don't want to see any
transitions, then set
the Transition Speed to 0 on the same menu.
- Changed memory management of background textures. This results in more
free memory allowing
for more/larger skin media. (This is really only of interest to people
making skins.)
- Garbage lines at top/bottom of screen that appeared for some games should
be gone now.
- New option to "Clip Sides" of game screen for games like Super Mario Bros.
3 where it should
display 240 pixels per line instead of 256.

NeoGenesis v10

News
Source:
XBINS
What's New:
- PAL50 support was broken in v8 and fixed in v9, but v9 broke 4x filters
and would hang
whenever trying to change XBox filters. This is fixed.
- 4x Filters removed because most of them ran too slowly to be playable on
any game and the
ones that were playable didn't appear to give much ( if any ) improvement to
graphics.
If anyone objects, I'll listen to arguments for re-installing it.
- Selectable throttle speed - now you can control how fast the throttle/fast
forward
option behaves.
- Several new transition effects. Currently, the transition effect is set to
"random". If you
want to set the transition effect to a specific setting, then go to Main
Menu -> Configuration ->
Configure Skin -> Transition Effect. If you don't want to see any
transitions, then set
the Transition Speed to 0 on the same menu.
- Changed memory management of background textures. This results in more
free memory allowing
for more/larger skin media. (This is really only of interest to people

Neo-Genesis v8 + v9
Posted by
Theendisgone at
11:37 AM
Two
Days Two Releases, will there be another tomorrow ?
Only Xport knows :)
Details:
NeoGenesis v9
What's New:
- PAL50 support was broken in v8 ; fixed
- Fixed Relax bug - now sharenames like $ROOT$ShareName work
- Sorting is not case sensitive anymore
- Forgot to mention - in v8 pressing DPAD Left/Right moves by letter
on the file selection screens. Move LTHUMB Left/Right to change
screenshots.
NeoGenesis v8
What's New:
- 480p, 720p, 1080i support
- 4x varieties for all filters
+ Most of these 4x filters make the games run too slow to be enjoyable,
but the AdvanceMame4x runs well and so do a few others.
+ I also suggest not using the 4x filters unless you can use
720p or 1080i modes. Scrunching a 1280x960 picture to half that size
looks almost exactly the same as the 2x version (and perhaps a little
worse because of the scrunching.)
- Hardware filtering options : Point, Bilinear, Trilinear, Anisotropic
- Access new video options from Main Menu -> Configuration -> Video
Configuration
- Re-vamped the 50/60, tearing, jittery sound, etc. Hopefully this should
straighten out all the weird, misc bugs a few people have encountered when
trying to play PAL games on NTSC XBox or vice versa.

I am sure by
now most of you have heard of the new xbox emulator just released, named
"Xeon". From the screenshots I have seen, it is very impressive. Halo is
apparently playable, although I have not been able to verify this myself. I
hope that _SF_ will contact kingofc and myself, so that we can work together
to get playable games happening very quickly. This is very exciting news for
the emulation scene, and I want congratulate _SF_ on his work.
Recently, two of my hard drives became corrupted, and I lost alot of data. I
hope to recover this data very soon so I can continue work on Cxbx. In the
meantime, enjoy the new toy, and look forward to seeing Halo supported by
Cxbx in the near future!

Australia is
now officially under the thumb of the mod-chip banners, after the Court of
Appeal, accepted its argument that mod-chips should be made illegal.
Mod chips enable games console players to overcome protection built into
their machines to run imported games bought legitimately and to back up
games legitimately. But they also facilitate the playing of pirated games
too.
For a short time, selling mod chips in Australia was legal - officially,
following a court ruling last July. Sony had filed a suit against a Sydney
mod-chip trader, Eddy Stevens.

the user can do anything.

boundary
- If you want to change the way something looks in this new UI,
chances are that you can change it via the Configuration menu.
- Samba/NetBIOS sharing support (read NES roms from your PC)
- Relax Network Sharing
- Play MP3 or M3U playlists in the background
(Can also read MP3/M3U from across Samba shares.)
- User definable save directory. If you don't like the default of
E:\SAVES\SMSPLUSX you can change it via the SMSPlusX.INI file
- Graphics filters :
+ 2xSai
+ Super 2xSai
+ Eagle
+ Super Eagle
+ SuperScale
+ AdvanceMame 2x
+ Simple 2x
+ 2xSai Scanline
+ Super 2xSai Scanline
+ Eagle Scanline
+ Super Eagle Scanline
+ SuperScale Scanline
- Netplay option to allow for smoother netplay : netplay skip.
When server starts netplay, you can select a netplay skip value.
This number specifies how often it should skip checking for network data.
The higher the number, the less often it checks for network data, but the
result will be a less responsive controller.
- Record/Playback feature - record your gameplay in the emu and then
play it back again. Record up to 10 minutes of gameplay.
- Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the
four joypad controllers.
- Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of
two buttons. (e.g. RTrigger+LTrigger = Save State)
- Autofire capabilities for any emulator button on any controller
- One-button combos (define a series of emulator commands to be played
back when you press a user-definable XBox controller combination.)
(E.g. Press RTrigger+LTrigger to execute the command string
A,B,A,B,Up,Down,Left,Right)
- Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent
directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection
list. Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB.
R is the CDROM drive. SMB is the samba share you have defined in your
SMSPlusX.ini file.) Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one
directory level.
- All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be
invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your
customized joypad mappings.
- Save Game management - delete save game files
- Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end
or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend
or dashboard supports this feature.)
- Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports
this
feature. For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into
a new frontend, that frontend could launch SMSPlusX and when you exit
SMSPlusX, that frontend can be automatically reloaded.

Kawa-X
v0.11

WHAT'S
NEW
v0.11
=====
- Added lowpass filter for sound. Toggle it from the in game menu
- Disabled that Start+Back shortcut to exit games.
Some people were exiting games by accident.
Now if you want to exit a game, you have to use the ingame menu
(right thumb click)
- Applied some XBE version patching on the executable. That may fix issues
some people have had with the emu not starting ?
- Configurable rompath. Just edit rompath.ini
- Kawa-X now stores on the HD what romsets you have or haven't
so now, there is only a scan the first time you launch the emu.
That should fix the problem people have had with the emu
taking ages to boot up. It will only take ages the first time :)
If you want to force a rescan, hit the X button on the game list.
- Fixed some problems with the provided CLRmame and RomCenter dat files
I provide with the emu. Files inside NEOGEO.ZIP were reported with the
wrong names in some places.
By the way if people have problems starting Neogeo games they should check
the following:
In their NEOGEO.ZIP:
NG-LO.ROM should be named 000-LO.LO
NG-SFIX.ROM should be named SFIX.SFX
NEO-GEO.ROM should be named SP-S2.SP1

Kawa-X
Posted by

From
NFO file:
Kawa-X is the XBox port of a Windows emulator I made some time ago named
Kawaks.
It allows to play titles from the Capcom CPS1, CPS2 and SNK NeoGeo library.
Pretty much all games are supported, even these 90mb monsters that would
normally not fit into the XBox's limited 64mb RAM. (This emu includes a
significant amount of black magic :P) For the more recent encrypted NeoGeo
games, though, only the decrypted form is supported (64Mb of RAM won't allow
to do the decryption). Kawaks (PC version) can produce decrypted sets, if
you
only have encrypted versions...
See the included list of supported titles for more info...
There's the following goodies waiting inside :
- CPS1, CPS2, NeoGeo support (doh)
- Plenty of nice eye candy video filters (more about that later)
- Redefinable controls (including handy macros like keys to do 3 punches,
etc)
- Can save screenshots
- Savestates (8 slots per game)
- You can play NeoGeo games either in arcade mode or in console mode
- You can switch region (language settings) for every supported CPS2 game.
For example, that means you can play the normally japanese only Mighty Pang
in english if you want...

Xport
has quickly released an update to his port of Visual Boy Advance to the
Xbox, heres whats new:
- Removed the FPS text (ooops!)
That FPS stuff is actually slightly impacting the actual FPS of the games.
I was using it for testing purposes and I completely forgot about it.

version. I'm looking into it.

From the readme file:
Let me first apologize for the atrocious time between releases. I've been
wanting to update this for like ever. Real life unfortuately has first dibs
on me, and I program for a living. So programming more when I get home is
sometimes very tough to get motivated for. Anyone who is in my field I'm
sure can sympathize. Anyhow, I found some time about a week
ago and decided to get some additions into it. I still have a few more
things left I wanna wrap up, so Im hoping to release another version soon
(without a year passing ;) )
