- qoob BIOS v1.1 -

 

21th of april, 2005

 

This is the v1.1 final.

 

FEATURES:

 

- Direct boot of all media (including DVD+R),

without swapping!

- Fastboot of both original and backups

(this time with autodetection for original games)

- Disc swap support!

- Less DREs than older BIOS!

- Disc browser for `ISO9660-DVDs`, supporting

Joliet for running homebrew .ELF/.DOL files

- Disc check feature

- All the usual stuff

- Network support, look below!

 

We tried a small DRE work around, but this of course doesn't

fix your media. If you have DRE problems, please try checking

the disc with the integrated disc check (hold 'A'). If you

get errors here, you *have* a media problem. We try working

around this, but this won't fix the root of the problem.

 

--------------| A small statement to the `Cobra-Team`:

 

Fine, now we got to some point. You ripped our stuff (audio-

fix for certain), and we feel fine about that. Protections

are there to be broken, though we made it a bit easy this time.

Expect some improvements when we have new valueable stuff.

(We made the "read offset" compatible to cobra 1.0, in case

some software requires this.)

 

That said.

 

The new windows software has support for directly flashing ELF

and DOL files. The next paragraph shouldn't be required anymore,

but for the people interested:

 

--------------| Some small technical information:

 

All flashed "blocks" have a 0x100 bytes header which looks like:

 

00....03 ID (either "© " for a .GCB file or "ELF"

and ELF, more (like DOL and BIN) to come soon)

04....f7 description, will be shown in boot menu

f8....fb reserved

fc....ff size (in bytes), must be multiple of 64k

 

If you have flashed an elf file, it should appear in the boot menu,

so you can run it.

 

--------------| About the network support:

 

IP address is currently hardcoded to 192.168.1.32. This should fit

most people. (Hint: Even Windows supports more than one IP address

per network adapter. No need to break your network.)

 

We will make this configurable in the next version, don't worry.

 

Network support comes from tmbinc's fine IPL replacement (thanks,

man!). We removed GPL'd parts before (especially the `gc-linux` based

network driver) and replaced them with own. LWIP's license is

`BSD-styled` and tmbinc's stuff is public domain, as he stated. We

hope it's ok, but we would had done it in a very similiar way, so

we better used the time to improve it than to reinvent the wheel.

 

This only applies to the network stuff. Everything else was

completely recoded by our team.

 

Supported stuff is:

- DOLUP (upload dol/elf on port 4000 - no bin yet)

- HTTP ("/DVD" for ripping discs)

 

--------------| About the game disc swap support:

 

This support won't be 100%, but it should work for most of the

unplayable games.

 

The lid switch will be autodetected - if you leave the lid open

while booting, it's ok - you won't be able to swap discs then.

 

If you have the lid closed, you can open it while playing and swap

the disc.

 

When closing the lid again, it takes some seconds until the drive

continue reading again. It will take ~20 seconds or so. Don't worry.

We try to fix this for sure, but we think it's ok.

 

--------------| About the audio fix

 

this bios has - since ever - an integrated audio fix. Some people

have messed up their backups with "fixing" the data so it works

with older bios which don't fix the audio streaming. We feel a bit

sorry for these people, so in this release you can press 'START'

while booting to disable the builtin audiofix.

 

Please, people, don't mess with your GCMs! Most things will only

make things worse, not better.

 

 

apparament tous ce qui et dit fonctionne parfaitement d'aprés certain dire

sa s'annonce pas mal du tout

j'ai dégagé la Qoob pour remettre une Viper, donc je vais pas tester aujourd'hui non plus.

 

Je vais demander aux fabriquants de la puce, en principe il me répondent vite (quoi que j'ais toujours pas reçu la Qoob SX)

NOTE: The official version of the qoob bios available for download on this site does not support unoffical (backup or pirated) versions of licensed software. It will only allow 'homebrew' (unlicensed) software to run. qoob chips are intended for software development, not for piracy! We will not answer any emails regarding loading pirated, licensed software.

TESTE ET APPROUVE !!!

 

J'ai reçu ma Qoob pro ce matin, installée cette aprés midi et flashée ce soir en lisant vos posts (je n'avais pas vu le nouveau bios 1.1)

 

Et bien un seul mot : FORMIDABLE

 

C'est vraiment du direct boot ultra rapide, et comme je n'avais pas de puce avant sur ma NGC, c'est que du bonheur.

 

Backup et compagnie, ca part direct comme un original !

 

Pour le montage c'est hyper simpliste, meme un manchot avec un minimum d'application peut la poser.

Pour avoir déjà monté des messiah sur PS2, je vous le dis : piece of cake !

 

Si vous n'avez pas de puce sur votre gamecube, courrez mes amis ...

 

J'espere que ma petite experience sur ngc pourra décider les plus septiques.

 

Bye :lol:
