Just Got My Spider Gx Installed
« on: November 05, 2005, 05:36:00 PM »

Hey guys I got my spider gx installed... no hitches thank god. It boots fine.
Now question is,
1)what bios do I use?
2)Will the slayers auto install do it for me or is it one more thing I have to load?
3)will the stock bios that loaded on the chip allow me to use the Slayers 2.5 installer? I'm sort of timid on messing with anything else until I get some concrete info... spider.com is not real clear.
Thanks guys.

Which version Xbox?

1.0-1.4

- X2 5032 (x2_5035_vOld_512k)
- 4981 which can be edited with XBTool (if desired)

1.6/1.6b
- X2 5032 (x2_5035_v16plus_512k)
- M8_16+ and EvTool to configure the bios (if desired).

No, slayers will not flash your SpiderGX. This is something you'll have to do your self via the OS. The quickest and easiest way to flash the SipiderGX would be via the WebFlash feature.

No, the stock bios will not allow you to load Slayers.

I'd say you get what you pay for.. but since the SpiderGX is priced like the other 4gen chips (give or take a few bucks) I'll say something along the lines of.. "erm.. buy from a reliable modchip manufacture"

Hope this helps.

Yes, a typo. In brackets I was copying/pasting the files name from the .rar.

Alright, I got my spider gx last night, got it installed, it all went perfectly, until i got to the flashing part. I was able to flash ok, but after I flash, I boot it in the respective boot(1,2or3) and the screen is blank. I used

M8 v16 plus, and  
X2 5035.

But for both of these, the screen is blank after booting. I am really stuck right now and have no idea where to go. NEED HELP!!!!!thanks
(BTW, my xbox is v1.6a)

Did you use x2_5035_v16plus_512k ? thats the one you need to use !

Did you squeeze the chip down like my website says ?

Press eject and let me know what happens !

Did you put the x2config.ini in E:\ (stock hard drive or F:\ (large hard drive) ?

I know it's not much comfort but atleast the install and flashing was easier for you than it was for many of the guys before you ... they were like beta testers for the spider team !

Soldering a chip in is allways the best method if you can solder  dry.gif  , If not then the Xenium Spice is awesome, also any of the Xecuter mods Rock !

Next ime you do an install try a Duox2 Lite , there a cheap and awesome chip !
