Team Xecuter presents XECUTER2 BIOS Build 4977

15th June 2003

----------------------------------------------

Well yes it's about time we added this feature. Everyone wants and and uses it - so why the hell haven't we 
added it before now. The answer is easy - we're lazy bums who couldn't really be bothered :p

So here is permanent No Reset on Eject Fix. So all you XBMP fans can use your favourite X2 bios.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xecuter2.2 News

As reported recently there is a new XBOX which we have tagged "v1.3". Worringly all mods / bios's did not work
at all. Of course initial assumptions were new RC4, new MCPX etc etc - however after much testing and desoldering
of the flash rom we found that a hacked bios could indeed work but LPC was messed up in some way.

So we started to get a little worried that the LPC days are over. After initial tests by Team Xodus they informed 
us that the LFRAME (pin 3) signal was disabled and could we take these tests further (about time we actually 
co-operated on something heh)

So after confirming that LFRAME was indeed disabled (in fact completely disconnected for the MCPX) this meant that
all LPC mods especially the CHEAPMOD were now dead.

However, our head coder was already experimenting with a new advanced LPC host system for Xecuter 3, and the 
exciting thing about this was that it no longer used the LFRAME signal !

After testing our prototype of Xecuter3 on the v1.3 we found it worked as normal - so we have simply implemented
the extra X3 commands into the X2 chipset so you can all use these mods right now (as we dont expect X3 to be 
"gold" for at leat another couple of months. The natural label for this mod was Xecuter 2.2

I suppose its yet another FU to the bashers who say we don't actually do anything.....yes of course we don't ;)
