Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: When it says create backups of your original games... does it crack
the
protection for each game or just ignore protection?
A: 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 o 717r177h ur own originals to
HD and they worked without any problems... and some did not work.
Q: Is it easy to identify multiple Xboxes using EvoX on the same
ethernet network?
A: Haven't tried that, but I can't see any problems in it.
Q: Can Enigmah-X chips be flashed with the EvolutionX bios?
A: As far as I know the Enigmah chip is a cpld an thus cannot be flashed ;)
However if it is possible to disable the enigmah chip after bootup, I think it
would be possible to flash the onboard bios... pure speculation here!
Q: Is it software to boot up on the Xbox along-side with software on a
PC?
A: 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 want to ftp you have to use a standard ftp client.
Q: Will it be easy for M$ to stop all "live" games from
working on an Xbox?
A: No idea ... I don't work for M$.
Q: Can the EvolutionX software be used with a Homebrew mod?
A: It was designed for homebrew mods... if you flash your homebrew with our
bios you have no patch fix & a 6th. harddisk
partition HD > 8G. Preferably you would add a switch to toggle homebrew bios
(should be write protected) and onboard bios. And use
the onboard flash for future updates or burn the original M$ bios image back
again.
Q: The picture with the partitioned HD, ...is
that the Xbox HD or PC HD?
A: That is an IBM 80G harddisk installed in the Xbox instead of the original
one.
Q: To use the EvoX do I have to connect my
Xbox to a PC all the time, or can I burn EvoX on a CD-R and run it on
the Xbox?
A: You can burn it to a CDR and start from there .. no need for a PC at all.
Q: So with the EvoX program I can run it directly from my Xbox with CDR
or does the
bios make all the menus for choosing games and etc?
A: It is not the bios making the menus, it's the EvolutionX application... and
it's completely configurable by editing an ini file
Q: What is this talk about EvoX being able to "Flash"?
A: In the EvoX 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... (?)
Q: When you say you need the EvolutionX bios for the certain features,.. that will 'overwrite'
an existing bios, yes?
A: You need to boot the box from our bios in order to install the new HD. Our bios contains the necessary 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
Q: Will there be any way to play Xbox ISOs over a network?
A: ;) this is still under investigation... but you can extract the files from
the ISO, copy the game to HD and run it from there.
Q: 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?
A: Yes, but a homebrew mod will do just fine as well.
Q: Can the EvoX bios be flashed into an 2mbit
or 4mbit homebrew chip? -or only into the original Xbox bios?
A: It can be flashed into a 2mbit, 4mbit or 8mbit as you wish.
Q: Why release it for free? ;)
A: Why Not!!!
Q: How we can prepare a new hdd to be installed? (WIN
or on XBOX?)
A: 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.
Q: How is the reading process of the program carried out? (using Xbox kernel or custom code?)
A: Using Xbox kernel.
Q: Is it enough to just flash my EPROM chip with the EvoX bios? (--to be able to use the hdd feature).
A: Yes
Q: If the Xbox becomes an ftp server, then can you run a p2p to trade
games? => LOL
A: LOL
Q: What do you mean by "rd / wd" signals connected on the
Xbox flash?
A: 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.
