To improve bioschecker I need you!!! Have you found an unknown bios? Please, mail me the MagicNumber so I can upgrade the software and improve bios detection. Have you created a new Bios Variant?? Mail me so I can add it to all others! I'm working on definitive Homebrew modchip bios detection.....more infos to come! NOTES ON RELEASE 1.43: - Added recognition of Evox 2.3 FastForward Animation bios - Added recognition of TrapFlag V2 bios - Added BIOSSCAN Win32 program. Run under Win9x/2000/XP and can recognize "genuine" xbox bios .bin files. I think that's useful to know what kind of bios you are about to flash before flashing it!! NOTES ON RELEASE 1.42: - Improved the recognition of Enigmah-X bioses - Discovered that TitanX bios is equal to Enigmah-X bios (an exact copy!!) - Corrected my email address at the end of this document ;-) - Added recognition of Extender 1.1 "mixed" with 3944 original TSOP bios NOTES ON RELEASE 1.41: - Added EnigmahX beta Modchip recognition (thanks to Charles Lee and HackerNeo for MagicNumber mail and test!!) - Fixed a display problem on some xboxes NOTES ON RELEASE 1.4: - Added the file BIOSES.TXT that contains the list of the recognized bioses - Added some new bioses that in the preceding version were not recognized (Like Enigmah-X and offical X-Ecutor) - EliteX 4034 (1.1 final) deleted because is equal to Enigmah-X bios!! NOTES ON RELEASE 1.3: - HomeBrew Xtender BIOS recognized - If your BIOS is unknown the program generate a "MagicNumber" that identify your bios. Please, send a copy of this number to crjackita@hotmail.it with a small description of the modchip you have or the name of your bios so I can add it to future releases of BiosChecker! NOTES ON RELEASE 1.2: - Now you can restart your xbox pressing the START button after BIOS recognition. NOTES ON RELEASE 1.1: - Release 1.0 doesn't work on retail boxes...so I release this fixed release for debug/retail X's. INSTALLATION OF BIOSCHECKER: 1) Install the files on xbox HD or CDRW/DVD 2) Execute "default.xbe" to know what kind of bios are you using 3) Enjoy ;-) USING BIOSSCAN: -------------- 1) Copy BiosScan.exe into a directory on your HD :-) 2) Run it and then click on the button "CLICK TO SCAN A BIOS" 3) Browse your disk to find the desired xbox bios .bin file SPECIAL NOTES: ------------- BiosChecker for XBOX is based on XFLASH source code of Dysfunction. XFLASH is a GREAT and very useful program that can flash your XBOX bios. Every day I use it 4 o 5 times :-) It's Great!!
