xbox Bios question

Hi I have a question about bios's for the xbox if any one knows the answer?

I have an Xecuter 2.6 CE chip in the box with 1MB or 2 x 512K BIOS chip capacity.

I have the "same" well I think its the same bios (evox m 8+16)

in 256k, 512k and 1024k

what size should I use? is the 1mb file any better than the 512k or 256k for example?

Thanks

Re: xbox Bios question

Makes no difference which you use, the larger sizes (512K and 1024K) are just the 256K bios repeated to 'fill the gap' if your chip size supports it.

You might as well flash the 512K on one of the banks of your chip, then you have a spare 512K bank to try a different type if you don't like the features of the evox bios.


Edit: Just check which version you have as well. I would recommend www.xbox-scene.com as an excellent resource. I also noticed this thread, which suggests you may need to build your own bios if you have a 1.6 version Xbox. http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4894
