 Release Notes
==============
                                                               
  For the first time ever, we have made it possible to boot a completely new rom 
  from the hard drive, when booting from ANY kernel.  Microsoft provided the 
  ability for debug bioses to be booted from the hard drive or cdrom, but we do 
  not require you to be running a debug bios to utilize this feature.  
  
  The advantage of this method over others recently released (by ourselves and 
  others), is that this application will work on ALL bios versions.  Previously,
  the most compatible version was Complex's (great job with the loader plugin
  architecture guys), but it did not work on the new 5010 and 5101 retail bios
  revisions.  Even though more compatibility is added with each version they 
  still will not work on any new bios revisions to come, without a new release 
  being required for each one.  Additionally you are now able to take advantage 
  of newer features being provided by kernel hackers which are outside the scope 
  of simple runtime patching.
  
  Our loader also lets you switch between many many more bioses than any modchip
  on the market.  Most modchip makers brag about their 1MB rom space.  We find it
  fun to brag about our many gigs of rom space :)
  
  We included the full source for the executable. Unlike many release groups, we  
  believe that it is important to share the results of our research with the entire  
  community to foster the rapid development of new features, and to increase the  
  collective knowledge base.  This application is based off the xbeboot source code
  from the xbox-linux team, and does not include any M$ copyrighted code.  Please 
  note that the xbox-linux team was not involved with this application, and does
  not endorse it.  Please also note that as this application is a derivative work of
  xbeboot, which is under the GNU GPL, this application is also licensed under the

 New Features
================

  This was just a quick release to fix the damn EEPROM decrypt problem.  People 
  should now be able to media boot the retail-based roms with no problems.
  
  NOTE: You MUST provide the EEPROM keys in the boot.cfg file if you want
  to boot the retail-based roms or have your game saves work correctly.  See 
  Step 2c int the instructions below for details.
  
  When upgrading:
  DO NOT JUST COPY IN THE NEW XBE WITHOUT ADDING THE EEPROM KEYS TO THE BOOT.CFG

=========
 Usage
=========
  
  You will need to provide your own bios and RC4 key as those are illegal to 
  distribute without permission from Microsoft.   
  
  We have given a prerelease of our new version to a couple of other groups
  and they have told us that the following bioses work (not all may be
  available currently but we have been told they will be soon).
   
  Currently known working bioses:
    - Retail 3944 BFM
    - Retail 4034 BFM
    - Retail 4817 BFM
    - Retail 5101 BFM
    - *Complex Debug Bios BFM
    - *Complex Evoxdash Debug Bios BFM
    - Evox V2.6 BFM
    - Evox V2.6 EjectFix BFM
    - Evox D.6 BFM
    - Evox D.6 EjectFix BFM
    - X2 4976.02 BFM
    - X2 4977 BFM
    - *5455 Debug 
    - *5558 Debug
     
    (* Debug bioses expect the XDK Launcher to be properly installed.)
  
  
  Step 1 - Install files  Install the included default.xbe, phoenix.raw, 
           and boot.cfg file into the directory of your choice on your 
           xbox, using any method you prefer (007 hack, dash hack, evox).
           Install any bios(es) you wish to load into the same directory.
           To get started, just rename the one you want to load to 
           "xboxrom.bin". Don't forget to sign the default.xbe for the boot 
           method you are using.   
           
  Step 2 - Edit boot.cfg

  Step 2a- Edit the RC4Key entry to be the appropriate RC4 key for the bios
           you are loading. If you specify the key to be all 0x00's, it will
           assume the 2BL is decrypted already in the rom you are providing.
           Also note that if you really want to rename your bios file, you
           can provide the name here with the Romfile parameter.

  Step 2b- Specify a second rom to boot when tray is open (this is optional).
           Edit the AltRomfile entry to be the name of a second rom you would
           like to boot if you run the loader with the tray open.
           
           If you comment out the AltRomfile line, the loader will always try to 
           load the rom specified with the Romfile entry.

  Step 2c- Edit the EEPROMKey1_0 and EEPROMKey1_1 entries. You only really need 
           to put in the one for your version of the Xbox.  Now at runtime the 
           loader will detect your xbox version and patch in the appropriate 
           EEPROM key.  Hopefully this will help out the save game problem too.
           We would have liked to have provided the keys, but we decided against
           it for legal reasons.

           When upgrading:
  	   DO NOT JUST COPY IN THE NEW XBE WITHOUT ADDING THE EEPROM KEYS TO THE BOOT.CFG

  Step 2d- Edit the LEDSequence to your liking.  You can use the letter r, o,
           g, and x here to represent red, orange, green, and off, respectivly.
           So, for example:
           LEDSequence oxxx would be slow orange flash
           LEDSequence rrgg would be slow red/green flash
           LEDSequence rogo would be all crazy like
           LEDSequence gggg would be solid green
           
           If you comment out the LEDSequence line the LED's will not be modified 
           by the loader.

  Step 2e- Set the Debug parameter to your liking.
           "Debug true" Will cause the intro/splash to not be displayed, and
           cause detailed debugging messages to be displayed. (case sensitive)
           Any other value will cause normal behavior.
           
  Step 3 - Launch the application.  Depending on your preference you may be 
           launching the application via the dash hack, or the 007 hack, or
           the audio hack, or from any 3rd party dashboard.  Just go ahead 
           and launch our app!  You will see our intro being rendered (don't 
           worry, it will only display the full intro the first time you run 
           it), and then you will find yourself in whatever dash the bios 
           normally will launch.  If you have setup a secondary bios (as 
           specified in Step 2b) you can load that bios by ejecting the tray 
           and leaving it open when you run our loader.  Note that if you are 
           launching the application automatically from the dash hack, you will 
           need to be careful as you could find yourself in an infinite loop if 
           you are loading a bios which tries to boot the Microsoft dashboard. 
           Various bioses look for evoxdash.xbe first, so as long as you are
           using one of those bioses and you have evoxdash.xbe installed, it 
           will launch that one first.    


=============
 Future Plans
=============

  USB controller support for choosing a bios to load.
  Any other cool features we can think of :)
