can't launch gentooxx.xbe in evox??

Post by acartledge »

I read somewhere that you may have to sign the xbe to get gentoox to work? how is this acheived? (slap me if i am being naive) I thought that my modchip will run unsigned code?

Or is there another thing i have just gotten wrong?

I can't launch it out of xtoolbox either, just get a blank screen and straight back to evox?

Is it to do with my bios?

Thanks

I think you can only launch gentoox with evox unless you are using a cromwell bios. Can you launch other apps with evox? Try setting your IP address to static in evox. See if you can launch linux from the ftp server in Evox. send the following raw command

Code: Select all

execute e:\gentooxx.xbe

if you edit your evox.ini then you can put it in the menu system and it will execute from there..

Code: Select all

[Menu]

Section "Root"
{
	Item "gentooX",e:\gentooxx.xbe

the rest of the menu tree goes here

}

still issues with this newb

Post by acartledge »

I tried to do a raw execute from ftp and it froze up my xbox and didn't launch.

Here is what i am doing.

I have gentoox installed in e:
I have evox installed in c (as per usual)
I have X2_bios 4977 installed on my matrix (only has 1 bank)

I have flashed bios with cromwell but it only loads gentoox and not evox

I want to able to go into evox first and then into gentoox if i feel like it.

I don't want to have to flash my bios each time i want to change systems

Is this possible??? I believe it is, but crumbs, it is not working for me. Maybe i missed something in the tutorials??

Any help is appreciated :D

I didn't realise that you had to turn off the IGR in evox to make it work

You should always turn off IGR in evox, you will find that it still works even with it turned off but stuff will stop crashing
