I really need someone to help me. i have been working on this modbox for 6 months now and i have done everything that tutorials have told me to do and it dosent seem to work.the chip seems to work led lamp goes comes on. xbit software says it flashes correctly, but the box wont read the cd-rw. i dont know if it is the wrong bios, wrong evox.ini settings, or bad iso. i am confused. i would appreciate if someone would help me out. thank you.

    Um, what O\S, distro if any, what version, and what gcc+ version are in place on computer and needed by software??? I know you hae a specific issue, but lots of fixing also depends on these things.... If this is a MAC OS X Panther, Jaguar, or Tiger beta problem per se, I cannot help, but if it is a Linux problem I might be able to help you some. AND if you compiled from source the resident gcc+ version you compile against versus what the source was written for and native to your O\S's supplied gcc+ version can be a VERY big factor in things not working. Most current gcc+ version that is out in dev and compiling use is now gcc+ 3.3+, while distros are still in use that are natively supplied with gcc+ 2.9 or earlier. Things are being written for gcc+ 3.2 and 3.3 compiling use now.

    I can tell you for ISOs you download in Linux, get the md5sum files also from same FTP server or from the publisher for that exact ISO. They are often .md5 or .md5.asc files. To verify an integral ISO, I run md5sum against the ISO using .md5 file check\compare mode, with the md5sum file given by publisher as file to check against in same physical directory as ISO. I actually burn with K3B myself, it can and will md5sum verify before it burns and not burn if the ISO does not md5sum check. I use Mandrake Linux 10 Discovery here right now. Note that an ISO with 'src' in name often is source code that needs to be compiled, and that lots of compile errors mean a mismatch between the gcc+ version present versus the gcc+ version the source was written for.

    IF that does not help, I need the info asked for above, to help drill down more, also. It gives a scope context needed to troubleshoot this or any compile issue and look up fixes that might REALLY apply to your specifc problem or to file or find a highly relevant bug report by working with the software dev(s).

    John, dude.. He's talking about modding an xbox, not any of the things you just talked about.

    I think some of the DVD drives in XBoxes have trouble reading a CD-RW. Try a CD-R.

    Wrong way Radoen man, they only read CD-RW's and DVD's.

    Well, since EVOX (and Evo, its software parent) can be run on high-end *nix boxes, I did not catch that this was an XBOX specific thing.... Sorry....
