BIOS CHECKER v1.44 - by CrackJack Italy
--------------------------------------

NOTES ON RELEASE 1.44:
- Added recognition of Messiah-X bios
- Improved recognition of Extender 1.1 bios and Enigmah-X bios

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 ;-)
- 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!!
