Please give all credit for the LBA48 stuff to oz_paulb. He's done what many
said couldn't be done. See the documentation for more details on the LBA48 and
partition options. Also check http://forums.xbox-scene.com/ for help.

History

1.0.22

Updated Kernel ID code so that JbOnE's flubber modded kernel will be
recognized.


1.0.21

Tooltips!

User interface tuning.

Fixed some minor internal stuff that I can't remember what it was. :)


1.0.20

Animation glow set to match X inner glow.

Above change is probably temporary pending a flubber color patch.


1.0.20.b2

Fix: bug disabled HD key embed in X2 4981.


1.0.20.b1

Embedded HD Key patch for Evox M7 and X2 4981.


1.0.19.b2

Embedded eeprom patch for X2 4981 (see info above).

Fix: embedded EEPROM checkbox checked when the BIOS did support that function.


1.0.19.b1

Embedded eeprom patch for M7 (see info above).


1.0.18.b3 (Beta! Use at your own risk!)

Fix: dash name patch in evox kernels (broken in b2)


1.0.18.b2

No reset on eject in dash (X2 4981 reset on eject patch).

Detects reset on eject status of Evox kernels. 

Notes:

Do not mix any files from an older version of XBtool with
this release.

Reset on eject still affects apps like Xbox Media Player
(this may or may not get fixed).

Loading files patched with this XBtool version into an older
version is not advised. If you do so then be sure to check
your dash names.


1.0.18.b1

Reset on eject patch for X2 4981.

Fix: format of kernel version display.


1.0.16

Fix: long standing boot flags bug (thanks to heinrich for
causing me to find this :-) ).

Fix: converting M7 to BFM now works even if the BFM flag is
not set.

Fix: some display issues related to kernel loading
failures.

Tweaked some display items.

Added kernel version display.


1.0.15

Supports fixed (and unfixed) X2 4981 BIOS.

Fix: DVD check was ticked on 4981 load (this was a display
error and didn't affect patching).


1.0.14

X2 4981 support (dropped X2 4980 support).

Fix: possible crash when using a limited user account.

Fix: temporary file "foo3.img" written to C:\ (feel free to
delete this file if you have it).

bfm_remainder.img no longer required or used for BFM conversion.

Slightly improved documentation.

Some display text changes.


1.0.13b2 (Beta! Use at your own risk!)

Fix: X2 4980 not recognized in released version.


1.0.13.b1 (Beta! Use at your own risk!)

X2 4980 support (experimental).

Fix: crash when loading a kernel with fan set to 100%


1.0.12

Fix: crash when converting to BFM via save.

Fix: patched x2 4979 no recognized after patching.

Tweaked config handling for better error catching and
logging (xbflash).
