i bought this modded xbox a few months back and haven't got much time with it after reading a lot of how-tos and setting up the xbmc (it was bought primarily to use xbmc). i would like to know how i could check the bios information of the modchip in xbmc, could anyone shed me some light? thanks a lot...
(i saw something in settings called smartxx and wonder if that was the correct information coz my modded dashboard is named evoxdash.xbe and there's a evox icon on the top left hand corner on screen when the modded mode boot up; is the "brand" of bios independent from the hardware chip? )
cheers, anno
when i start up evox is reads: kernel: 1.00.4983.67
is this bios too old? what bios should i look for?
the evodash.xbe probably means your xbox has the evolution dashboard (but my xbmc is call evodash).
xbe 's are like exe in wintel machines they are executables.
the evodash is often paired with evolution bios but will work happily with others i.e xecuter
the xecuter bios puts its name just below the flubber when the xbox boots so is easy to identify.
if you read the xbmc faq and manual it explains quite well what dash names work and why.
if you have your dash named evodash then its pretty obvious what you need to do to get the xbmc working as a dash.
if you not trying to get the xbmc working as a dash and don't have a lcd enhanced xbox then why do you care what modchip/bios your running.?
:idea: don't worry xbmc doesn't!!
"awaldram is only right in one thing he said"
macanno was asking if the xbox reported chipset was correct and you answered the xbox reports the chipset how is your answer correct?
i do believe all my statements were correct though maybe over simplified.
maybe i should have pointed out the only garrenteed method of finding the chipset is with a screwdriver , and the only method of ensuring what bios/version your running is to upload a known version to the modchip.
but in general the xbox is normaly right.
maybe i should have pointed out the only garrenteed method of finding the chipset is with a screwdriver , and the only method of ensuring what bios/version your running is to upload a known version to the modchip.maybe, becuase what he was asking was (subject topic):
"how to check modchip and bios version?" and "how i could check the bios information of the modchip in xbmc?"
i'm not at home at the moment, so unscrewing the xbox is not and option.
i know that i'm runnning evolutionx , but not sure what bios version i have. i need to upgrade it i think as there are some network issues with xbmc (it hangs alot when connected to my lan). any ideas?
