PrometheOS marks a significant evolution in the history of the Xenium Modchip, originally the sole domain of the Xenium OS. For over 18 years, users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to the absence of open-source code from the original developer. In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD, maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones. The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation. While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs, others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos. Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site, seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions, rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements, diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source development. Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support. Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and, importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing improvements. --- This format maintains the integrity of the original content while presenting it in a clean, easy-to-read article format suitable for publication on your website. _____ _____ ( ___ ) ( ___ ) | |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | | | ____ ____ __ _ _ ____ ____ _ _ ____ __ ____ | | | | ( _ \( _ \ / \ ( \/ )( __)(_ _)/ )( \( __) / \ / ___) | | | | ) __/ ) /( O )/ \/ \ ) _) )( ) __ ( ) _) ( O )\___ \ | | | | (__) (__\_) \__/ \_)(_/(____) (__) \_)(_/(____) \__/ (____/ | | |___|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|___| (_____) (_____) ****************************************************************************** * * * .:Release V1.0.0 (Xbox V1.0 - 1.6) Xenium Modchip Only:. * * * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** * Version :............V1.0.0 * Size :.....................2048 KB * * Date :.............20/01/24 * Type :..................Modchip OS * * Groups :..Team Resurgent & Cerbios * Platform :..........Microsoft Xbox * ****************************************************************************** * Discord :........https://discord.gg/VcdSfajQGK * * Patreon :........https://www.patreon.com/teamresurgent * * Ko-fi :..........https://ko-fi.com/teamresurgent * * Github :.........https://github.com/Team-Resurgent * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** *....:Changes/Additions:.....................................................* ****************************************************************************** * * * --A new custom OS for Xenium/OpenXenium Chips.-- * * * * Release: V1.0.0 * * * * Added Ability To Flash Bios. * * Added Ability To Delete Bios. * * Added Ability To Launch Bios Or TSOP. * * Added Ability To Set Auto Launch Of Bios. * * Added FTP Server (Username: "xbox" Password: "xbox") * * Added Skin Manager * * Added Support For Larger HDD Partitions * * Added HDD Lock/Unlock Feature * * Added Ability To Backup & Restore EEPROM * * Added LED Control * * Added Ability To Adjust Auto Boot Time Delay * * Added Auto Manage Bank Sizes * * Added Ability To Rename Bios After Flashing * * Added Ability To Change Bios Led After Flashing * * Added Ability To Change Video Settings * * Added Ability To Change Audio Settings * * Added Ability To Change Region Settings * * Added Network Support DHCP / Static * * HD + Enabled (FW 2.2.2 Required) * * Added System Info Section * * Bored?

For over 18 years,* * users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to * * the absence of open-source code from the original developer. * * * * In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the * * OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern * * reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD,* * maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this * * compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection * * within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones. * * * * The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation. * * While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs, * * others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted * * their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly * * involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos. * * Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the * * purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site, * * seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions, * * rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support * * for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements, * * diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source* * development. * * * * Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of * * the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for * * these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling* * community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support. * * * * Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and * * programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams * * embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based * * modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its * * current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the * * original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It * * offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and, * * importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing * * improvements. * * * ****************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************** *..............................:Acknowledgments:.............................* ****************************************************************************** * * * Team Resurgent and Team Cerbios extend their deepest gratitude to all * * participants in the alpha testing who provided invaluable feedback * * during the development of PrometheOS.

The simplest way, for a working Xbox with Xenium, is * * to use the XeniumTools Utility by Ryzee119. This open-source utility * * allows you to backup and flash directly from your Xbox. Launch * * XeniumTools, select 'Write a Raw 2MB Flash Dump', choose the * * PrometheOS .bin file, and flash. After completion, power cycle your * * console. Alternatively, use an external hardware flasher like a * * Raspberry Pi. For utility download and detailed instructions, visit * * https://github.com/Ryzee119/Xenium-Tools and * * https://github.com/kooscode/xenium-programmer * * * * Q: Why isn't Xeniumtools detecting my Xenium chip? * * A: While most Xeniums use AMD or Spansion flash roms there might be * * some clones versions which don't. Xenium-Tools may not detect these * * different flash roms. External flashing is recommended at the moment * * if you have one of these chips. * * * * Q: How do I report my test results or provide feedback? * * A: Share your findings on the Xbox-Scene forums or in our Xbox-Scene * * Discord room. Join the conversation at https://discord.gg/VcdSfajQGK * * * * Q: Something went wrong with my flash; how do I recover? * * A: If a flash fails, recovery options are limited. Issues, especially * * with clone chips or hardware, may require a hardware flasher, like a * * Raspberry Pi. For detailed recovery steps, visit * * https://github.com/kooscode/xenium-programmer * * * * Q: Where do I put skins files? * * A: Place all skins in the skins folder at "C:\PrometheOS\Skins\" on * * your Xbox's hard drive. * * * * Q: Where can I upload or download skins from? * * A: We have set up a skin repository where you can upload and download * * skins for PrometheOSs, visit * * https://github.com/Team-Resurgent/PrometheOS-Skins * * * * Q: How do I contribute to the development and improvements of * * PrometheOS? * * A: To contribute, join the Xbox-Scene Discord and connect with our * * community members. For direct contributions, the PrometheOS Firmware * * project is hosted on GitHub. You can report issues, submit pull * * requests, and engage with the project at: * * https://github.com/Team-Resurgent/PrometheOS-Firmware * * * * Q: I want to try PrometheOS, where can I purchase a Xenium Modchip or * * Programmer? * * A: Xenium-ICE v3.0 & Programmers are available from NeMesiS/XeniumMods. * * For purchases, Visit their eBay store for options: * * https://www.ebay.com.au/str/xeniummods * * * * * ****************************************************************************** View full article
