Cerbios ISO and CCI compatibility lists

* UDMA Modes explained:

UDMA = transfer mode used by the kernel Increasing the UDMA mode has been profiled to improve some game load times in excess of 20% A full benchmark with SSD + StarTech shows disk IO is 70-100% faster across the board Increasing the UDMA mode will require an 80 wire IDE cable

The retail Xbox uses UDMA 2 (33mb/s) by default

The maximum supported UDMA mode by the Xbox southbridge is UDMA 6 (133mb/s HDD <--> CPU)

• UDMA 6 is experimental, use at your own risk
• UDMA 6 DOES NOT WORK WITH ALL IDE TO SATA ADAPTERS
• UDMA 6 is confirmed to be working and stable with StarTech adapters
• UDMA 5 and 6 are unstable on RXD-629A7-7 based adapters, but UDMA 4 seems okay
• WLXKG-863B are the 'worst' adapters I have experienced working and are largely untested

For more info about IDE to Sata adaptors please visit the IDE to Sata adapter compatibility thread

Are there any plans to enable Cerbios to force progressive scan (similar to Rocky5's NKPatcher) in the future? Republic Commando only supports 480p in 4:3 and it looks like crap both ways (480i widescreen, 480p 4:3).

Nobody knows what team cerbios is planning to do or not. I am not affiliated in any way with team cerbios, all data in this post is a collection of the nfo data they released themselves + some info from the cerbios discord room.

In case you missed out, cerbios has the option to force 480i to 480p now.
