fanCbox v0.50 by Superfro / Dextrose ------------------------------------ Another fine release by dextrose... www.dextrose.com ============ Description: ============ Well, this program lets you get fancy with your bios... Change the color of the XBOX logo, remove animation, replace the error screen, etc... ============== How to use it: ============== First you will need the RC4 key to decrypt your bios, if its a retail bios, you need the retail key. Once you have the RC4 Key, edit config.ini and place the RC4 Key in there, in the format that the example 1 2 3 4 key is given in. The unpack/decryption code was borrowed from xbflash from xbox-linux, so the config file is the same as it. Next you run the application, open your bios, configure your options, click patch, select where you want to save your bios, and walla! ======================= Things you should know: ======================= It only works with certain bioses, check the list near the end of the file. Files must be THE ORIGINAL FILES, once a bios has been patched, this program cannot guarentee the format of the bios and will deny usage. YOU MUST USE THE ORIGINAL, BIOSES THAT WERE RELEASED. Not patched in any way, even by fanCbox. Also, this only patches the LAST copy of the bios, so if you are using it to make different bioses for a multibios or something, patch it, then extract the LAST copy of the bios, auto-cutting has been added, and auto 1 meg building. LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANT: YOU WILL NEED TO FIND THE RC4 KEY TO DECRYPT THE BIOSES. DONT ASK ME FOR IT. and ... due to nobody reading this last line, here it is again. DONT ASK ME FOR THE DAMN KEY DONT ASK ME FOR THE DAMN KEY DONT ASK ME FOR THE DAMN KEY DONT ASK ME FOR THE DAMN KEY DONT ASK ME FOR THE DAMN KEY DONT ASK ME FOR THE DAMN KEY ======= Lastly: ======= Support for more bioses, different size bioses, (ie 256k versions), maybe debug bioses, more configuration options, etc. Should be added later. Don't whine, don't bitch. I'll get to those 1.1 bioses soon.
