Post subject: What BIOS should I flash to my Xecuter 3CE?		 Reply with quote
 
Okay I recently found out I have a Version 1.1 Xbox. I know that after I install my Xecuter 3CE I'll need to flash FlashBIOS 3.03 (It's compatible with all versions). A FlashBIOS allows for the flashing of another BIOS. So anyway, what BIOS do I need to flash after this? I planning on installing a Hard Disk Drive bigger than 137 GB if that makes a difference. Detailed information would be appreciated (if im wrong please point it out to me). Do you flash a BIOS the same way as a FlashBIOS? Can someone please clarify the difference I'm pretty sure I know, but I need confirmation. Thanks in advance.

Flash it with X3 3294.bin for V1.0 to V1.5 Xboxes. Do a search on Google if you need help finding the file.

You shouldn't need to flash your X3 with flashbios, it should have come with FlashBios 3.03, meaning you just need to flash your desired bios to the chip.

I'd recommend X3.3294.bin, as Mathgammon said, but the choice is really up to you Smile

Does it make a difference that my new Hard Disk Drive is going to be over 137 GB. In the Auto Installer Deluxe Manual it has stuff about BIOS's and theres like ones for over 137 GB and ones for under 137 GB can someone clear this up? Thanks.

You can set all things about the bios in X3 config live, which will start up the first time you turn it on once its been flashed.

Thanks the information really helps. I only have one more question. What is the advantage to having more than one BIOS flashed on your chip?

in this case, just in case one of the files corrupts or something, you can just switch banks and boot instead of having to reflash everything.

Oh ok that makes sense thanks. Why are modchips prone to corruption or something?
