FAQ
> When it saus create backups of your original games... does it crack the
protection for each game or just ignore protection?
--> It does not crack any protection, so some games would have to be cracked in order to be played from HD.
--> We have tried to copy some of our own originals to HD and they worked without any problems... and some did not work.
> is it easy to identify multiple evoX xboxs on the same ethernet network?
--> Haven't tried that, but i can't see any problems in it.
> can enigmah x chips be flashed to evolutionx bios?
--> As far as i know the Enighma chip is a cpld an thus cannot be flashed ;)
--> However if it is possible to disable the enighma chip after bootup, i think it would be possible to flash the onboard bios... pure speculation here!
> is it software to burn on dvdr to boot up on xbox alonside software on pc?
--> Its an xbe file which you can boot from DVD, CDRW or HD if renamed to xboxdash.xbe
--> You do not need any software running on your pc, except if you wan't to ftp you have to use a standard ftp client.
> will it be easy of M$ to stop all "live" games from working on an xbox?
--> No idea ... i don't work for M$
> Can the EvolutionX software be used with a Homebrew mod ?
--> It was designed for homebrew mods... if you flash your homebrew with our bios you have no patch fix & a 6th. harddisk partition HD > 8G
--> Preferably you would add a switch to toggle homebrew bios (should be write protected) and onboard bios. And use the onboard flash for future updates or burn the original M$ bios image back again.
> the pic with the partitioned hd, is that the xbox hd or pc hd?
--> That is an IBM 80G harddisk installed in the XBOX instead of the original one.
> to use the evo-X i have to connect all the time my pc with my xbox,or i
will burn evoX on a cdr and run it on xbox?
--> You can burn it to a CDR and start from there .. no need for a pc at all.
> so the evo-x prog i can run it directly from xbox with a burnt cdr or the
bios make all these menus,for choosing games and etc ?
--> It is not the bios making the menus, it's the EvolutionX application... and it's completely configurable by editing an ini file
> could u clear thx flash process ? with technical infos please
--> in the Evo menu there is a rom directory containing all the images that you can flash from and that could contain the original M$ bios as well ??
> when you say you need the evolution bios for HD feature, thats
'overwrites' an existing modchip then rite?
--> You need to boot the box from our bios in order to install the new HD.
--> Our bios contains the nescessary coding to make this possible.
--> We are not saying that you have to buy a chip or anything.. just use our bios image in your homebrew mod
> will there be any way to play xbox games from ISOS over a netowrk?
--> ;) this is still under investigation... but you can extract the files from the iso, copy the game to HD and run it from there.
> is all functionality available if you can flash the evoX bios on the
existing 29F080 and make the jumpers for WE and OE to the MCPX?
--> yes, but a homebrew mod will do just fine as well
> can the evox bios be flashined into an 2mbit or 4mbit homebrew modchip? or
only into the original xbox bios?
--> it can be flashed into a 2mbit, 4mbit or 8mbit as you wish
> another question: WHY FREE? ;)
--> Why Not!!!
> How we can prepare the new hdd to be installed? (WIN?, or on XBOX?)
--> You just plug in your HD in the XBOX, and boot on a CDRW/DVD. Then you will be able to format and partition the HD from the EvoX application.
--> This is done be sending a set of commands from your ftp client to the XBOX.
> how the reading process of original in carried out ? (using xbox kernel or
custom code?)
--> Using XBOX kernal.
> its enough to flash my eprom chip with the evox bios to be able to use the
hdd feature?
--> Yes
> if xbox becomes an ftp server, can you run a p2p then to trade games? => LOL
--> LOL
> "What do you mean by "rd / wd" signals connected on the xbox flash?
--> These connection are only needed if you want to upgrade the onboard flash.shortet resistor pads R7R4 on the bottom and R7D3 on the top will allow OE and WR to the flash.
