Help me with this story a little. Was the bios that Team Xecuter had that much better than any of the other bioses available such as the M8 or the Xecuter2 4983 Bios? _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Simply put.. for an X3 chip which is the only chip that can use the features.. YES. According to Xecuter it will not work on any other chip... but then.. we were not supposed to be able to hack the Xbox either...
There are many new features in the new X3 bios 2913. Some of which are
Quote:
[2913]
- fixed: Fixed a ton of bugs since Build 2666 first announcement (2913 first public release)
- fixed: "Odd" character problem in FTP
- fixed: The "all files are good" issue in ftp, now it will check properly if the file really got there
- fixed: IE FTP Bugs Fixed
- fixed: Qwix DIR listing bugs
- fixed: Threading-issue that sometimes left an idle thread when executing dashboard
- fixed: Total re write of menu loading mech - faster and rock solid stability
- fixed: Cleaned up video init code
- fixed: Corrected LFRAME / D0 pull to 0V timing so it's no longer constant
- fixed: Flubber now displays in 480p (if possible)
- added: Xecuter Install Command System*
- added: Xecuter Advanced Skinning Control**
- added: VGA support for ALL Xbox versions (v1.0 - v1.6+)
- added: USB Support for XICS
- added: FAT 32, FAT 16 (for USB Pendrives)
- added: ISO9660 support for XICS
- added: ZIP support
- added: Micro HTTP Client (Download / Execute Files From Internet)
- added: Video Region Quick Swap (LEFT+X NTSC, LEFT+Y PAL - hold on bootup)
- added: X3 EEprom Emergency Format (A+B+X+Y - hold on bootup)
- added: Pop Up warning if text input becomes truncated
- added: Option to enable / disable boot to DVD Rom (D:default.xbe)
- added: Multi-Layer logo.x support (Currently a bug so disabled)
- added: Multi-Layer flubber.x support (Currently a bug so disabled)
- added: Successful FTP of filenames over 42 characters now possible with auto rename (e.g this.stupid.ass.long.filename.is.way.way.way.too.long.for.this.filesystem.mpg renamed to this.stupid.ass.long.filename.is.way.way.w.mpg (if renamed filename is the same as a one currently
on the hdd it will not overwrite it - but will add a recursive number on the end)
- added: Multiple HTTP download locations now possible
- added: Support for recursive skinserver entries
- added: Scrollbar added to default skin
- added: Clear Cache Dirs/Drives (In Disk Tools / Current Hard Drive Setup Menu)
- added: new script commands for XICS (since 2666) preparedrive, mbr, format, reboot & echo.
But with this said... what is it saying about the other chip manufacturers when they have to have the X3 bios on their chip...
But I believe this is just more BS from X3's competition.. this seems to happen about every other month. _________________ GTGene

Now I've been watching the news for a while and I don't remember seeing anything quite like this before. So is it possible that the bios wasn't hacked after all? And if so, what purpose would it serve to make such a statement? If it's proven to be wrong... then whose the asshole? Ya know what I mean? _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

That's my understanding... it was placed out on to the newsgroups and should have hit Xbin by now I presume among the other usual places. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

One of the only features that I really like on the X3 bios' is the ability to change where you bios boots on the fly. I LOVE THAT. No using EvTool, no Using XBTool...just use the config live and change what partition to look to and even what dash to look for first!
Changing flubber screen colors to me is superfluous, but I would love to be able to throw a dash on F and change wher the bios boots to on the fly.
Sure, all you need to do is have two bios' flashed to your chip and go from there....but, I like doing it on the fly.
