*...........................:What Is PrometheOS?:............................*
******************************************************************************
*                                                                            *
*    PrometheOS marks a significant evolution in the history of the Xenium   *
*    Modchip, originally the sole domain of the Xenium OS. For over 18 years,*
*    users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to *
*    the absence of open-source code from the original developer.            *
*                                                                            *
*    In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the      *
*    OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern *
*    reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD,*
*    maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this    *
*    compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection  *
*    within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones.   *
*                                                                            *
*    The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation.     *
*    While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs,  *
*    others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted  *
*    their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly         *
*    involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos.   *
*    Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the         *
*    purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site,    *
*    seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions,  *
*    rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support   *
*    for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements,        *
*    diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source*
*    development.                                                            *
*                                                                            *
*    Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of   *
*    the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for *
*    these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling*
*    community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support.          *
*                                                                            *
*    Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and      *
*    programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams   *
*    embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based         *
*    modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its   *
*    current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the       *
*    original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It       *
*    offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and,    *
*    importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing      *
*    improvements.                                                           *
*                                                                            *

*                                                                            *
*    Q: How do I flash PrometheOS onto my Xenium Modchip?                    *
*    A: There are two primary methods to flash PrometheOS OS onto your       *
*       Xenium Modchip. The simplest way, for a working Xbox with Xenium, is *
*       to use the XeniumTools Utility by Ryzee119. This open-source utility *
*       allows you to backup and flash directly from your Xbox. Launch       *
*       XeniumTools, select 'Write a Raw 2MB Flash Dump', choose the         *
*       PrometheOS .bin file, and flash. After completion, power cycle your  *
*       console. Alternatively, use an external hardware flasher like a      *
*       Raspberry Pi. For utility download and detailed instructions, visit  *
*       https://github.com/Ryzee119/Xenium-Tools and                         *
*       https://github.com/kooscode/xenium-programmer                        *
*                                                                            *
*    Q: Why isn't Xeniumtools detecting my Xenium chip?                      *
*    A: While most Xeniums use AMD or Spansion flash roms there might be     *
*       some clones versions which don't. Xenium-Tools may not detect these  *
*       different flash roms. External flashing is recommended at the moment *
*       if you have one of these chips.                                      *
*                                                                            *
*    Q: How do I report my test results or provide feedback?                 *
*    A: Share your findings on the Xbox-Scene forums or in our Xbox-Scene    *
*       Discord room. Join the conversation at https://discord.gg/VcdSfajQGK *
*                                                                            *
*    Q: Something went wrong with my flash; how do I recover?                *
*    A: If a flash fails, recovery options are limited. Issues, especially   *
*       with clone chips or hardware, may require a hardware flasher, like a *
*       Raspberry Pi. For detailed recovery steps, visit                     *

*    Q: Where do I put skins files?                                          *
*    A: Place all skins in the skins folder at "C:\PrometheOS\Skins\" on     *
*       your Xbox's hard drive.                                              *
*                                                                            *
*    Q: Where can I upload or download skins from?                           *
