BIOS CHECKER v2.01 - by CrackJack Italy

NOTES ON RELEASE 2.01:

This is a major release because we have modified the bios detection engines to detect SmallBioses and MULTIBIOS images too!!!
The new engine is implemented in BiosCHECKER(xbox) and in BiosSCAN(win32).

Now the updates list ;-)

- Implemented the 256 KB and 512 KB BIOS size detection (thanks to GeminiServer for suggestions and MagicNumbers!!) so
we can detect Homebrew ModZ without problems...or I hope so ;-).

NOTES ON RELEASE 1.44:
- Added recognition of Messiah-X bios
- Improved recognition of Extender 1.1 bios and Enigmah-X bios
- Renamed X-Ecutor Modchip bios to "X-Ecutor" (in the preceding versions named "X-Ecutor (dump)") to avoid misunderstandings.

Thanks to Charles Lee, PRO CHIPS X,Pierre Groulx, Suey Johnson, Melih, Sebasse, Santino Fuentes and all other people
that have mailed me MagicNumbers, bugs and suggestions!!
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 ;-)

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.

*USING 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!!
