hey, ive got an alladin Live Plus chip in my xbox, and i was wonderin wut bios should i put on their, like i dunno wut 2 put on it lol, so if u can pl zjus post some and some good things about it (basically WHY that 1)

x2 4981/4983 bios is the newest x2 bios

1.6xbox 1957X3 bios.



why? because i say its the best.

can u tell us the features n stuff, or is their a site for that, and which version for xbox version 1.1

An X3 BIOS on an Aladdin chip? I was under the extreme impression they won’t work with other 4th gen chips (re: Xenium), let alone older (and frankly cheap) chips.

Are you sure this is feasible? Meaning have you DONE it (not flaming, seriously curious)?

If not, 1.6 box = Evox M8_16 BIOS. Known fact.


Edit: Onesikgypo, there is a site. www.xbox-scene.com. Look for it yourself next time, okay?

That is a HUGE cross-compare list (huge meaning literally very large is size and in info).

Don’t forget, always start as X-S.com, and then search…

are there any other recommened bios, and i did look @ that site but its X2 V Evox

Well, if you indeed looked (not just at the list but at the features and compatibilty chart), then you'd see WHY it's Xecuter vs. Evox BIOSes. They make the best BIOSes (especially for tiny chips like the Aladdin, meaning a single 256k bank) and pretty much run the scene.

Why are you looking for anything else?

BTW, they're virtually IDENTICAL in features. You should have seen that. It's a matter of personal bias, really (unless you have a 1.6 mobo, then you HAVE to use the M8_16). I prefer Xecuter BIOSes because I use TeamX chips, and thus use the FlashX app (the perfect un-fuckup-able combo), and also because I like the boot screen (I think the Evox triangle is too obtrusive).

But, shit, with EBTool or EvTool (and more powerful apps) you can mod the hell out of either team's BIOS, and even import a different Evox logo... I just don't bother, for the above reasons.

But for a A-chip, just go with X2.4981/3 (depending on if you want to mod it) or M8 (or M8_16 if you have a 1.6 mobo).

Clear enough?

yeh yeh, thanx man, soz i caused so much trouble lol

How well does the X2.4983 compare with the iND bioses?

xombie you are correct on the x3 for x3 only i wasnt 100% clear
i jsut pointed out that 1.6xbox 1957X3 bios. i was just generalising that the teamX bios was my prefered for all xbox's

From now on, I will only answer BIOS pref questions that are prefaced with which modchip and mobo version you're using.

Reason being, I don't want to keep repeating "if you have a 1.6" or "if you want to mod your BIOS", etc...

How does 4983 stack up against iND? Go check it out, and see that there are some pluses and minuses.

Not to overgeneralize, but the X2 vs. iND thing in my mind it kind of a Windows vs. Linux thing. You can mod an iND BIOS (if different ways but with the same results) just like an X2 BIOS. Just how much work to you wan't to put into it?

Frankly, to go on record for about the 100th time (and since your asking about an X2 bios which proves to me you don't have a 1.6 mobo), prefer 4981 to 4983 because you can't mod 4983.

So, go find out if you're comfortable with the iND bioses. If you have to ask someone else for their opinion, I'd say stay in the X2 comfort zone. If you don't understand why, go read that link again.

Finally, I ain't bashing the iND BIOS. If it works for you it works well enough. I'm lucky enough to have access to mountains of 1.0-1.4 (at the latest, and those are rare) boxes, so I don't have to worry that Evox is the only team to have a 1.6 compatible right now.

And I'm getting pretty sick of people flaming TeamX for not having one yet, and focusing on the 4th gen right now. Have a little fucking faith, guys!

Edit: @SGM, I see. And I hear you. But you gotta be careful recommending an X3 to a noob using an A-chip. Some guys (not you onesikgypo) are just dumb enough to try it (heh, even though at 1025k it ain't gonna fit..
