Hi jiz_king,
thank you for your reply.
I have read, that XBMC should view the 128 MB on its info page, but on our four XBoxes it doesn't. All XBoxes pretend to have only 64 MB under XBMC, whereas GentooX perfectly detects and uses the whole 128 MB of RAM.
We therefore thought the last two years, that this was a bug of XBMC!
Now, since some days, we now, that isn't!
We all have the simple Aladin Mod-Chip with EvoX BIOS M8 flashed onto and the evoxdash.xbe Version 5835 (the newest).
GentooX and XBMC is started through evoxdash.xbe, located at drive G: and renemaed to default.xbe (as entered via EVTool in the M8 BIOS).
Also included is the LBA48 patch and 160 or 250 MB HDDs are used.
Somewhere in the web I have read, that the XBox scans the memory at the beginning and calculates the whole ram amount at the point, where the first access error occurs. So the XBox always should detect the correct ram size.
But as statet, our 4 boxes won't detect the upgrade in normal "XBox app mode", only under Linux.
Under one of the 4 Boxes is one, which was upgraded by a professional XBox Modding service. The soldering of this box looks best, but their behaviour is the same.
The latest XBMC V2.0 TCH3 build 3-10 also detects only 64 MB.
I can hardly believe, that we have made any mistake.
We think, the 128 MB have to be activated under normal XBox OS somehow, maybe in the BIOS?
Can you give us some hints, concerning this?
I have seen in your profile, that you use no Mod-Chip and the X3 BIOS.
Can it be, that M8 can't access 128 MB and X3 can?
