Xbox 360 BIOS Xbox 360 Emulator X Beta Version 171
Jacinto Dieujuste
Than you should now that the xbox bios also hasn't anything to do with the n64 emulator. The n64 emaulator and the PSX emulators make use of the original PSX/n64 bios. Simple has that. The n64 has some special chips and the n64 dosn't only struggle on the XBox. MvG has made a great video on that topic.
And since we just talked about about PSX and not PS2 my point still stands. The cheapes solution is a PSX for 10 euros (Found one for 5 euros as well). But if you like, I can get a PS3 for 25 which can run PS1, PS2 and PS3 and that beats your PS2. #PreSchoolStyle.
You can flash it to one of the free BIOS banks that the X3 modchip has then set the bank select switches to boot it by default or keep booting the X3 BIOS to start X3CL then run the cerbios from X3CL's BIOS menu.
Although, if you're using this bios for the only thing that sets it apart from all the others (especially an X3 bios), which is 8TB HDD support, you're gonna have issues swapping between this bios and the X3 bios, so you'd have to commit to Cerbios if you want to use a HDD that fuckin' big.
XBL Login Disable: (XBOX Live Login Disable) Enable this option to let your X3 BIOS keep you from accidentally trying to log into XBOX Live games. If you login to XBOX Live with your modchip enabled, it is quite likely and possible that you will be banned. Check out XLink Kai for online gaming using tunneling software to join LAN games across the internet.
disable Xlive: It's long been a worrying issue for Xbox gamers who use Live! and also have a hacked Xbox with modified bios, that it's sometimes possible to accidentally connect to XBL while the mod is enabled - which in turn bans their account from the Xbox Live Service. This is a method that will patch the game on the fly forcing an error at the login screen which fakes that the network cable is disconnected.
Holy dang! Dual HDD support!? So I can dedicate a drive to linux now, or do easy backing up with chimp. Trying to think what else you could do besides obviously more storage but wow! Never thought that i would see that happen! Impressive!
Wow. This project is accumulating some impressive momentum. This is really awesome. I never thought Iˋd see another bios again. I wonder if a config menu like X3CL could be implemented in some way, even if the settings\values have to be stored on the HDD instead of flash. I would donate hundreds of dollars for that, at LEAST.
Separating the boot animation into a separate .xbe file was a great idea, both for providing extra space for cerbios code and also for customisation. Hopefully we'll begin to see more custom anims in the future.
Definitely not in my plans at all. Just saying those sorts of things add up quickly. Just the Xbox collection alone is approaching 3TB or more depending on the type. I personally have no need for more than 2TB and that's pure luxury.
I guess i would put a LOT of hi-res music on it, a bunch of psx games... Anything else I can come up with. Although, my main machine has an x3, so i would probably want to use this for a secondary machine.
I don't understaod the appeal of the .iso mounting. I like having full access to my filesystem, especially for modified .xbes. The .isos are fucking huge compared to the actual files, assumedly because of a lot of dummy data. Also, isn't there the extra step of mounting the .iso? Can somebody explain the advantages of this?
does it play psx well? Or do you need to 128mb and cpu mod to get decent performance? I have also a modded PS3 which I could use for the same purpose, but disk space is full and it has a hard limit of 1TB.
The xbox can play most 2d psx games at full speed, but a lot of 3d games struggle. There are some emulator tricks to get things to playable levels, though. I think a cpu upgrade helps a lot. I think using a jailbroken ps3 for backwards compatability isn't a bad idea.
Sweet, he IS here for advice... Just not advice on the cheapest way to run PSX games. Running PSX games on an xbox is kinda cool. One of those things to do just for the sake of doing it. If I have a friend over, and I load up Tomb Raider on my xbox, and he goes, "how the fuck are you playing Tomb Raider on an xbox?", an interesting conversation will ensue. I get a kick out of that.
Is there anyway to flash this from a memory stick / Hard drive and not a DVD? I've been poking around the forums and haven't seen anyone really mention using this method. I also just installed an xecuter 2.2.lite and was wondering if i should bother with flashing this BIOS onto it as well or just to the stock BIOS.
You can unpack the bios with " XBtool_1.0.23a ". It will show up as x2 4981 and you can repack the bios as well. You would need to HEX the "xboxkrnl.img" and repack the bios. How ever, you would need to find the place for the fan value first if the config line above didn't work which I grabbed from the x2 config because both looks pretty similar. But the iND has the same line in it so, give it a try.
"This is a new custom bios with all existing and new features implemented by the team.While we may share some similarities that can be found in bioses such as config loading, custom colors etc, our solution will be different compared to all existing solutions.In addition new tools will also be released to take advantage of some of the features we have implemented.With our custom LBA support we now support hdds up to 8TB in storage size.No more 2.2tb limitations and file corruption.***8TB size limit may be expanded upon again in the futureMore info will be made available in due time
Everyone loves a little ISO in their life. So why not add it natively into our bios.No more patching Bioses with hacky ASM, Diskutilities, Dashloader or Nkpatcher.With Cerbios just boot your console select your favorite game and enjoy endless hours of fun.Existing attach.xbe compatible.Check out the videos below of two problematic games working flawlessly as ISO and on 128mb hardware using Cerbios. =WU9GV =RNwC3But why should I use ISOs over HDD dumps?Well with our custom LBA support for HDD up to 8TB there is no excuse about not having enough space.ISOs do not have file length limitation like some HDD rip games do, so no patching or truncating of file names is required.All DRM checks pass as ISO (Harry Potter).More info TBA"
The Xbox is a sixth-generation console released by Microsoft on November 15, 2001. Known as the DirectXbox during development, it is notable for the specs having similarities to a PC, namely as a result of using familiar components around the x86 architecture. It had a custom Pentium III CPU at 733 MHz with 64 MB of RAM, and a custom Nvidia GPU codenamed NV2A at 233 MHz. The Xbox was often said to be the most powerful console from the sixth generation, and Sega later designed the Chihiro arcade system with the same components. It retailed at $299.99.
In addition to these, it is also possible to use the HDD image of the Xbox itself (the Xbox came with a HDD which it would store its firmware on, starting a trend that would soon become common) in place of the pre-installed dummy drive.
Alternatively, you can use a dummy hard-drive image. Games can still be launched using this, though it may cause an error prompt to appear when the official BIOS attempts to access it due to it being unsigned.
ISO files must be in the XISO format. It is not directly compatible with the original disc image, only the game partition. It is possible to extract the game partition of an original disc image with extract-xiso on a Windows or Linux PC:
There may tools out there aimed at creating images to be burned to smaller capacity DVDs designed for running on hacked Xbox consoles. Use of these tools is not recommended, as it is not compatible with many titles.
xemu is a free and open-source low-level Xbox emulator continuing much of the work done on XQEMU. It focuses on stability, performance, and ease of use. While still in an early stage it already runs a lot of commercial games. Xemu benefits greatly from having a high CPU core count, having at least four can dramatically improve emulation speed.
Standardized features available to all cores of this emulator: xbox.videomode, xbox.videomode, xbox.bezel, xbox.bezel_stretch, xbox.hud, xbox.hud_corner, xbox.bezel.tattoo, xbox.bezel.tattoo_corner, xbox.bezel.tattoo_file, xbox.bezel.resize_tattoo
Many games supporting 16:9 ratio are using anamorphic widescreen. To display them correctly, you should change the aspect ratio from Auto to 169 in the advanced options of the emulator. Note that some elements may display strangely: OutRun 2 stretches the selection menus (coming from the arcade version) but has a correct display while racing.
Another (easier ?) way which works fine on batocera, is to use a ftp client on xemu to access a ftp server located in your Lan. Android phones, for example, have plenty of applications allowing you to quickly set up a ftp server to share files. This will allow you to upload/download your game saves. Here is the procedure:
