The Xecuter 2 modchip / BIOS XBE launching problem - sho - 2007-05-24

I guess this needs to go into troubleshooting at least.
Let's gather the facts here.
XBMC will not execute xbe's with certain modchips (Xecuter2?) with certain BIOS revisions (5035?).
(I seem to have 4953.. haven't looked at it for years before now)
It can be fixed by:
a) Upgrading/downgrading the BIOS?
b) Adding the following line to your advancedsettings.xml
<advancedsettings>
<disablemodchipdetection>true</disablemodchipdetection>
</advancedsettings>
After SVN 8943?

I ask, because I donĀ“t know.

Actually, I changed the logic of that earlier in the week.

It now defaults to true, as it should have done in the beginning.

So currently, the modchip detection is disabled by default. Thus, what should go in the troubleshooting section is "If in SystemInfo your modchip detection is disabled, this is due to the X2 modchip having a bug in it that causes XBE launching to fail after a modchip detection. If you don't have an X2 modchip, then you can enable this via AdvancedSettings.xml"

Cheers,
