With the right mod chip/bios you can change it to be just about anything! (Provided the picture you choose/make is the right size and shape.) _________________ I think I like fixing Boxes more than using them!

A lot of mod chips have pretty cool features to change the bios. X3 allows you to change right on the fly. Even the X2 bios have some tools you can download and make some changes.
You can replace that "Xecuter Rocks My Box" with your own logo.
Heres what you do (Using Microsoft Paint):
1) Open up Paint from the Accessories Menu in the Start Menu, then press Ctrl + E. The Attributes dialog should appear
2) Copy the values shown in the picture above, and Press OK. The logo needs to be a 180x50 pixels size.
3) Add your logo/picture in the space provided.
4) Once you are satisfied with your logo/picture, press Ctrl + S to save the logo/picture.
5) In the File name: field, type: "x2logo" (Without the quotes of course).
6) In the Save as type: field, select 250 Color Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib) option, and then Press Save.
7) Ignore the warning, and Press Yes
Now you'll just need to FTP the created x2logo.bmp to your Xbox HDD. This file should be placed in either your root E:\ or root F:\, depending on where your x2config.ini file is.
NOTE:For the X3 BIOS, just follow the above same steps, but name the filename as "x3logo", and FTP x3logo.bmp to root E:\
You can even use X3 Bios on your Xenium. You need to find the X3 2914 Bios (1MB). However, there are some newer X2 bios' that give you much better results in the long run.
Keep in mind this is just one way to make some changes to the logo. Depending if your softmodded, chipped, or what bios you are using there are many ways to get the same result.
I have personally never changed my logo, but it's a pretty nifty idea if you ask me
I may just have to play around and see what I can do. I'll see if I can find some other tutorials to post in regard to this.
If anyone out there with a softmod has made some logo changes, submit a tutorial. _________________ Xbox 1.4
