Topic: New Installer/utility Disk...worth It? (Read 142 times)

atomiX · « **on:** June 05, 2004, 08:30:00 PM »

I've currently been working on an Evox-based utility disk kind of like slayers (for me and some friends).

people have pointed out X-Disk...my disk is not meant to be full of stuff that will not be needed...i don't plan on putting emulators or similar things on it. It is made to be a UTILITY disk that has an acceptable size and that can be used to set-up a newly modded xbox quickly.

I've thought about releasing it to the public but not sure if it's worth it. It is BASED on Slayer's but with new layout and updated/new dashes and apps. Here are a few of the features:

- emergency video mode change (NTSC/PAL)
- flash modchip/tsop using 4981 or 4983
- flash modchip with evox M8 (1.6 version only)
- flash new modchip (w/ cromwell) using 4981
- restore HD to retail using MS dash 4920 OR 5659 (you have a choice)
- ability to install to E: or F: or run these apps from disk:
Bios Checker
Boxplorer
DVD2XBOX
Fan Tester (fanthing)
X2Config
XBftp
XBMC
Xenium ID check
PBL w/ debug bfm bios
- install these dashboards:
Evox
Avalaunch
MXM
Nexgen
THC Lite
ADDED: UnleashX
MS XDK Launcher 4627 (not XDK) UPDATE: XDK Launcher 5849
- format the HD (all partitions or only selected)
- lock/unlock HD (w/ evox OR ConfigMagic)
- install a few extra evox skins
- reboot & shutdown .XBE's

would this be useful to anyone or will it just be "another utility disk for n00bs" and just keep it to myself? Should there be stuff removed/added?

It is meant for n00bs but I find it very useful when i need certain things done (like after formatting)

Anyway, looking for some feedback here...
Feel free to post your opinion

UPDATE:
here is a screenshot is people were wondering how it looked like:

Why not? I'd sure use since Slayers seems out of date.

If i'm wrong don't mind me. "I'm just a n00b."

well they already have an installer and or update to slayers install disk (which is soo old) called X-disk. it is a very good installer actually. www.x-disk.com it might not be up any more because it has illegal bios's on the installer?

It is

Looks pretty good, I would like to see configmagic added.

atomiX · « **Reply #10 on:** June 07, 2004, 08:48:00 AM »

yeah, Firefucker's X-disk...i heard of it but haven't tried it myself

atomiX · « **Reply #11 on:** June 07, 2004, 08:51:00 AM »

ConfigMagic is on the disk but in the Lock/Unlock section, so it's not listed...I will add it in the list.

yea x-disk is a big sucker like 600MB, has emulators and what not. It just takes a few secounds to start up even with my samsung dvd-rom

Please do not start a thread in another forum.

If I had the power to cross merge I would. I you'd like these two topics merged, PM a head moderator.
