moses_373 151 Posted August 4, 2018 Hey y'all, just did a TSOP flash on an ogbox and have a nice little 2 TB drive inside. I'm not using a modchip and currently have ind-bios running on it. What bios do you like best or would recommend? should I just stick with ind-bios? Thank you in advance for your input! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted August 5, 2018 I use Ind-Bios on mine, but that is mainly because I plan on doing the ram upgrade at some point. Though, I have come across a few sound issues in Ind-Bios, it is fairly stable. The other bet I would go for is the X2 Bios. There are a few other options, but they require that you have a 1mb TSOP, in which case, I would suggest installing a bank switch, and flashing both bioses, then you could easily switch between them.

moses_373 151 Posted August 7, 2018 Thanks Gavin, I've never used a bank switch, any recommendations? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted August 7, 2018 The bank switch only works on v1.0 - 1.1? motherboards that have a 1mb bios. any SPDT switch will work, if you want a 4 way split, you can use 2 spdt switches. the basic idea can be found at the end of this page. https://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8139 That being said, it has been a really long time since I have done this mod, but I could have sworn you had to cut the traces. According to that you do not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moses_373 151 Posted August 7, 2018 I may be wrong, but I think I remember reading somewhere that cutting the traces did something to help prevent the chip from overheating, but it was incidental to something else I was researching at the time. Anyway, I just checked my mother board revision and it looks like I've got a 1.4 so I'm out of luck for using a bank switch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted August 7, 2018 Then that pretty much leaves ind-bios and X2, which are the 2 I would suggest, for that console. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moses_373 151 Posted August 7, 2018 Awesome, thanks for the input, I'm going to mess around with X2 and see which suits me best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
