i have an xbox modded with softmod installer deluxe v2.0. what do i have to do to convert it into a debug xbox? i would like to take in-game-screenshots, so i really need the debug functions. is it enough to use a BFM debug bios? or do i have to install the xdk also? did anyone manage to get this to work with the SID2.0??

I'll be honest... I have NO IDEA how to do this lol, never heard of doing it, however I have always wanted to take in game screenshots myself. If nobody else responds shoot DJB a private mess. hes the SID author so he would prob have the best idea about it. I'm just trying to get your post on the top so maybe someone can help out! _________________ Blue Chaos

You are going to need BOTH the XDK and a Debug "BFM" BIOS (Very important that it's BFM).
If you can obtain them, you can easily replace the open.bin file in C:\SID with the BFM BIOS, and continue to set up the rest of your Xbox with the XDK.

thanks for the fast reply. i will try it ASAP. open.bin is the bios that gets loaded when the xbox is turned on via eject-button and close.bin is the bios when you turn on the xbox with the regular on/off-switch. is that correct?

Yup. The only reason why I suggest using the open.bin is so that you can have a normal boot when it's closed, then debug then the tray is open.

i managed to load the bfm-version from ind-bios v5003 (http://ind-bios.org/). i dont even know if this is a real debug bios. i did NOT manage to capture screen shots via Xbox Image Grabber 2 1.1 (2005-04-06) (http://www.xr8d.net/dev/). maybe someone can lead me in the right direction?!
