============================================================================== Extracts, Compiles, and Patches Evox M8 XBOX BIOS/Kernel Files. Only for M8 ROM files which have been pre-patched for LBA48 and IGR. See about box for thank-yous (and if I left you out please let me know). ============================================================================== !!!!! WARNING !!!!! Use the correct M8 version for your Xbox! M8 is for Xbox hardware versions 1.0-1.5. M8_16 is for version 1.6. If you use the pack function choose the corect base ROM file. ============================================================================== LBA48 and IGR Notes Please give all credit for the LBA48 stuff to oz_paulb. He's done what many said couldn't be done. See the documentation for more details on the LBA48 and partition options. Also check http://forums.xbox-scene.com/ for help. The IGR code was devised by dootdoo. I only added an option for a more compatible reset method patched the code into M8. ============================================================================== Notes Documentation will be sparse until I get time to work on it. When packing you will be asked to chose a base ROM file before being asked the name to save the file as. This is normal (at least for now). You should choose either an M8 or M8_16 file. This version only works with modified M8 ROM files which are pre-patched for LBA48 and IGR. You will have to look for these in the usual palaces. Future versions may handle non-pre-patched M8 files. You can change the LBA48 partition handling, you just can't turn LBA48 off. (This should not cause a problem if you are using the original drive or one which is smaller than 137GB.) Quick IGR is quicker. More compatible IGR is... more compatible. E.g. Soul Caliber 2 locks with the quick IGR (and X2's, I'm told) except at the menus. This mode shouldn't cause lockups. ============================================================================== History 1.0 Fixed TM patch. Statically linked XBpatch (XBpatch.dll no longer needed). Removed unused toggles and rearranged dialog. Internal code cleanup. 0.8.0.b1 Pack/Unpack function cleanup. Other internal changes. 0.7.0.b1 Initial release.
