For the first time ever, we have made it possible to boot a completely new rom from the hard drive, when booting from ANY kernel. Microsoft provided the ability for debug bioses to be booted from the hard drive or cdrom, but we do not require you to be running a debug bios to utilize this feature.
=========
Usage
=========
You will need to provide your own bios and RC4 key as those are illegal to
distribute without permission from Microsoft.
Currently working bioses: X2 4977 Boot From Media version (uses Debug RC4 key)
Step 1 - Install files Install the included default.xbe, phoenix.raw,
and boot.cfg file into the directory of your choice on your
xbox, using any method you prefer (007 hack, dash hack, evox).
Also install the bios you wish to load (only 1 works for now)
into the same directory, and name it xboxrom.bin. Don't forget
to sign the default.xbe for the boot method you are using.
Step 2 - Edit boot.cfg Edit the RC4Key entry to be the appropriate RC4
key for the bios you are loading. If you specify the key to be all
0x00's, it will assume the 2BL is decrypted already in the rom you
are providing. Also note that if you really want to rename your
bios file, you can provide the name here with the Romfile parameter.
Step 3 - Launch the application. Depending on your preference you may be
launching the application via the dash hack, or the 007 hack, or
the audio hack, or from any 3rd party dashboard. Just go ahead
and launch our app! You will see our intro being rendered (don't
worry, it will only display the full intro the first time you run
it), and then you will find yourself in whatever dash the bios
normally will launch. Note that if you are launching the
application automatically from the dash hack, you will need to be
careful as you could find yourself in an infinite loop if you are
loading a bios which tries to boot the Microsoft dashboard. The X2
4977 BFM bios looks for evoxdash.xbe, so as long as you have another
dashboard named evoxdash.xbe, it will launch that one first.
