I have 4 banks. Does linus flash just onebank ? who chooses the bank?

what impact does installing linux have on playing games?

You choose the bank (usually by switches or jumpers on the chip) Cromwell needs 1 256k bank.
If you've got a modchip with 4 banks then you have no problem playing games you can use cromwell for linux and some other bios for games

I mistakenly flashed my Xecuter 2.3b lite + with the bios in Stardust...and wasn't able to boot EvoX...except Linux. I am not good with linux commands so I took the chip out and booted evox in another box....swapped the chips, and flashed it with bios (Bank 12-Xecuter, Bank34-linux cromwell).

Now whenever I boot xbox...if i select (switch) Bank 1 then it boots Evox....when I switch to Bank 2 it boots Gentoox. I mean the external switch.
