Memory Banks

Bank 0



Bank 0 contains the latest Cromwell bios. To flash it we would usually recommend the Eurasia generic pro flash disc. And please note that you will need a 512KB bios (ie 2 X 256KB of the same bios since most bios are only 256KB)

1.6 -1.6b machines will need the m8+ 1.6 bios.

1.0-1.5 machines can use either the m8+ bios (non 1.6) or the Xecuter 4983 bios.

Or you should be able to use this bios for running xbox linux.

Bank 1



Bank 1 contains the latest FlashBios (3.03-1). Please note that you will need a 512KB bios (ie 2 X 256KB of the same bios since most bios are only 256KB)

1.6 -1.6b machines will need the m8+ 1.6 bios.

1.0-1.5 machines can use either the m8+ bios (non 1.6) or the Xecuter 4983 bios.

How to use FlashBIOS:

Step 1 - Creating the Bios CD:

- Ensure that the bios file you wish to use of an appropriate size for your modchip. ( 512KB in this case)

- Make a copy of the bios file you wish to use and rename this copy to BIOS.BIN .

- Select a CD or DVD media compatible with your XBox's DVD-Rom. (Most CDRW will work and most DVD-R will work. If you have a Samsung Drive then some CD-R will work)

- Burn the BIOS.BIN file onto a CD. (For Nero select the following settings, No Multisession, ISO Level 1, Format Mode 1, ISO 9660, Deselect Joliet, Finalize CD, Disc-At-Once)

- You should add a dummy file to the CD to ensure it is read properly by the XBOX. We have enclosed a dummy file creator with this release. We recommend 100MB.

Step 2 - Flashing with FlashBIOS (Cromwell):

- Turn your XBox console ON, when the DVD-Rom tray ejects please insert your BIOS.BIN CD and close the tray.

- When the flashing procedure is complete the XBox will shut down.
