>>>> NEW! SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.0 <<<<<

===================
04/22/03 - NEWSFLASH:
The v2.1 installer is almost ready and bug free.  This has taken a lot of time and effort from both myself and the test team lead by SS113.
Neither myself nor SS113 will answer ANY questions about v2.1 related to your inability to flash your bios to either D.6 EjectFix or X2 Multiversion.  If you do not have the right bios on your chip, or an old unflashable chip, the installer will fail and you will be left out without support on this one, sorry.  Flash with Multiversion bios and and re-install to have it work.  No exceptions!
===================
04/16/03 - NEWSFLASH:
This is really pathetic: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...ST&f=16&t=45758
===================
04/15/03 - NEWSFLASH:
The new SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.1, coming out soon, REQUIRES that you are running one of the new MultiVersion Bioses (EvoX D6 ejectfix or the X2 4976.02) on your Mod Chip!
It will NOT WORK properly without an updated Bios on your mod chip, so update your mod chip now to be ready in time for the release later this month!
===================
04/13/03 - NEWSFLASH:
Well, v2.1 is in beta testing right now and also in the most capable hands of SS113 who is puting it through its paces.
Expect a release shortly.  FYI, compressed size is 99MB :-)
===================
04/01/03 - NEWSFLASH:
The New ExoX Dash 1.8.3752 does not implement any new features, just fixes from 3682.  SSS113 did a great job again, so if you want to learn how to update the evox.ini file on my installer or the one on your HD, Read About It Here
===================
03/18/03 - NEWSFLASH:
Another big shout out to SS113 for doing such an admirable job in helping everyone in this forum with the Installer questions, he has become quite the expert and I am really glad he is willing to help. I am finding it harded and harder to dedicate time to it so he's a godsent. Thanks SS113!
===================
02/26/03 - NEWSFLASH: SS113 just gave me an idea that might make the next version of the installer not only smaller but also more reliable and allow it to work more smoothly on all xboxes...... Stay Tuned....
===================
02/16/03 - NEWSFLASH: For everyone's information, I have already updated the next release of the installer with the latest ConfigMagic FINAL and Xbox Media Player v2.3 releases.  I am hoping to also include the next release of the NexGen Dashboard once they have a more stable version.

For now enjoy the installer as it's still the best toolkit arround.

BTW, it still puzzles me why Xbox-Scene is not mentioning a word about the installer now that it has become a proven and widely used tool.  I see news about software that does not even work, but no mention of the installer.  This really upsets me and I am now considering not releasing anything else if they deem the installer is not even news worty.

I urge everyone to email to XanTium and ask "what the hell" and request he posts news about it.
*********************
01/13/03 - NEWSFLASH: With the assistance of Moosta and his wonderfull friend CoRPSe, a new IRC channel has been setup to try to help everyone with their questions on the installer and even obtain it!

*********************

The most comprehensive toolkit to date assembled from all the best tools, utilities, bioses and dashboard currently available, all integrated and packaged together with multiple alternate M$ Dashboards.

It weighs in at about 61MB compressed and is being distributed as 3 files and an NFO in the newsgroups. This release is signed to verify authenticity.   I am not taking credit for any of the individual tools, except the way they are compiled, the install scripts, my skins, and the ease of installation.

OK, it's been about than 25 days of crazy work (250+ hours) since the last release of my v1.5 installer and I am proud to bring you the new v2.0!  This version was completely re-written and is the most complex interactive EvoX driven Installer/Toolkit to date.

Most if not all the user requests for features have been added along with countless warnings to try to protect you from destroying your xbox.  However, nothing will help you if you do not first backup your XBOX to your PC via FTP!

The features in the new release are summarized below and further described in detail on the NFO included in the release.

First a few Forum Rules:

1) DO NOT ASK FOR THIS TOOL HERE!!! - use your favorite newsreader and go to the newsgroups (alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox) - If your provider sucks, try www.easynews.com
2) DO NOT PM OR EMAIL ME ASKING FOR THIS TOOL!!!
3) IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF FINDING THIS INSTALLER ON YOUR OWN, YOU PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE USING IT, AS YOU WILL MORE THANK LIKELY KILL YOUR XBOX!
4) Please VOTE then post your feedbacks and enhancement ideas here (within reason and limited by the capabilities of EvoX)
5) DO NOT PM OR EMAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE ASKED ON THE FORUM OR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT FIXING THE INDIVIDUAL TOOLS.  Post, do not PM, so that others can be enlightened!

OK, Here are the new features of SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.0:

0. Step-by-step n00bie instalation tutorial!
1.  XBOX V1.1 Support added - M$ Dash 4817 & 4920

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANYONE MESSES UP THEIR XBOX, SO DO NOT USE THIS TOOL IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT DOES!

NOTE: The purpose of the forum is to discuss the toolkit, not hand it to users on a platter. If people are not capable of finding it on their own, then they should not be using it as it will probably destroy their xbox and they will be back here 10 minutes later crying and saying they "forgot" to make a backup and are now begging for help!

Well all that said, please help your fellow users, post your comments/feedbacks, Happy New Year, and enjoy it in good health!

[Moosta]

Once again, Many thanks to Wolf1 for the dedication and hard work to provide us all with this great application.

I'll hunt it down from the newsgroups and check it all out then I'll get it up onto a website for easy access.

Not meaning to be rude but please dont PM me asking for the link, I'll let you all know once I've managed it.

Just thought I'd let everyone know now so this thread doesnt get filled with requests for a link or where to score it from.

Lets keep the thread clean and tidy, Oh and the most important thing focused on feedback regarding this great new release.

Thanks again Wolf1, Your efforts are appreciated.

Cheers  

Ps. I'd love to see the guy who voted " I could do it better" step up to the plate and prove himself, althow I wont hold my breath, they would be big time nutties huh  

[howie]

im a newbie at newsgroups . anyway ive managed to find the v2.0 nfo file and downlaoded it and also i think there was 2 other v2.0 files as well which were very small and it said incomplete. there was nothing else there does this mean the files are not there or am i looking in the wrong place or doing something wrong?

[Moosta]

There is an important part to Wolf1's initial post.

There is a good chance that your local ISP's news group servers have not filtered the latest threads threw.

If it doesnt seem complete, then there is a good chance that its not filtered threw yet.
