ram

Post by fantoboy »

you need 4 ramchips from another xbox mobo, then install them on your board. There's 4 slots ready for them. NOT EASY! I think the forums at xbox hacker has tutorials. So far it's only helped me run more roms on MAME. anyways...128 support in linux!!!

You can only store 1x256k bios at a time with that chip by the sounds, so if you want to use Evox, youll have to use linux to reflash to an illegal bios (using raincoat).

I thought id explained it well enough in the stardust readme (available on this site). You should always aim to use stardust and cromwell (to make it 100% legal). Even if youre not using cromwell, always use stardust as it takes out any errors that the user could make whilst installing Gentoox.

THanx Shallax,
i´ve read it. But your doesn´t answer my question. Did it work only with flashing thge bios with cromwell from stardusk?
Did you ever test the Phoenix Bios Loader? Does this also work?

Thx and best regards
