My Matrix mod chip is speeding along in the mail and I'd really like a copy of Slayers to compliment it, but it seems #slayers is Invite only, at least that's what I'm told when I try to join it.  Can anyone else suggest where I can get this great installation package?

The Slayers mIRC channel is open to everyone, it is not a invite only check your mIRC client and or use a differant one, try again it is the best place to get the tool.

Yeah i'd like to give this a whirl too please if possible..... had fun with the first one when I installed onto both a ver1.1 & a ver 1.0, and posted my notes/findings on here way way back at Christmas. Cheers to Slayer yet again - the last 2 installers were a credit to all the clever peeps on the xbox scene and yourself included. This allowed this noob to transform a xbox or two into a a$$ kicking entertainment system just picked one of then new limted edition green xbox's - seems to be made in feb 2003 or 2003-02-xx - can't remember the exact date but am thinking - hmmm wonder if this box is a PAL ver 1.2 board ? also - shame I didn't catch this post earlier - just flashed a couple of ver 1.0 tsop bios with 4796.02 bios - very nice indeedy seems like Slayer 2.1 could have done it all for me - oh well never mind greets to all xbox peeps

Sorry there is a problem but it can be fixed.

Excuse me if this is wrong forum bit but thought that maybe the newer ver 1.2 limited edition info on both the hardware and kernals etc would be of some use.....

Right Green spec edition xbox with 2 green controller S pads
(better be in the box - still not checked the other bits yet)

anyway.....

here's the system info of the xbox:

K: 1.00.5101.01
D: 1.00.4920.01

dunno if slayer's 2.1 covers this one just yet but thought i'd let ya know

date 2003-02-17 - still peels away ok with hairdryer

also got a shiny like a mirror sticker on the other centre screw hole - like a security sticker - falls to bits when ya try and peel away - forget it use a small sharp scalpel and cut round the hole and screw instead - yeah looks a little unprofessional but better than stick in bits half still left on bottom of case.....

YUP - ver 1.2 is now in UK well my green one is and think someone else has the black controller S pad box with a 1.2 board in....
ATX power supply & philips not samsung dvd in there, also the quieter white 10.2gb seagate instead of the earlier black jacket 10.0gb seagate.

threw in a cheapermod - was waiting for cheapmod with 4796.02 but this one will do for the moment....
used Alternative D0-ground point underneath btw

yup fires up fine but philips is no way as good as samsung dvd drive.
(hmm maybe the last lot of normal pads would be a better option rather than the controller S boxes if we may not get samsung's no more)

for the moment I found it also didn't like some cheap brands of dvd-r - a little hesitant

ok most seem ok but just a few cheapy dvd-r's it was a little slow on booting/loading....

out comes the h/d and in goes another seagate 10.2gb - unlocked - yup boots to the evolution dashboard already installed on it.
loads up xbmp 2.3 - in goes a divx on cdr - nah it don't like it

now the same disc was running fine on my other ver 1.1 / samsung / xecuter 2 lite etc.....

hmmm - maybe swap a dvd-drive over maybe and install a 80gb - i know it's around here somewhere - lol

ATM the original h/d - that had xbox LIVE installed on it btw is untouched in case anyone may need ms dash etc off it

sorry if this in the wrong place but some of the kernel bit may be of some use etc....

anyway just letting peeps know that my green one has a so-so philips dvd in it - wonder what other uk ver 1.2's have got in them

All The Best

Wolf,

I wanted to say thank you for the installer. I am a newbie at this. I was able to install evox & mame x on my own but I had trouble with the media player. I used your installer and it worked great. Your installer saved me alot of time. Is there anywhere to place donations for this software?  You really helped me Thanks again.  

[Pizza Pizz]

Aye many thanks again.....

just flashed the cheapermod with 4976.02 - a bit more work to fix a flash bios link on but was only mod i got atm

anyway extra large thanks yet again

Sorry there is a problem but it can be fixed. ss113 What I did was put the new installer on over the old one.  but now when I turn my modchip off it should boot to the regular msdash but it doesn't it gives me an error code 5.  The old installer had the option to patch post xbox live but the new one doesn't.  So how can I make my xbox boot to msdash with modchip off so I can get on XBOX live.

I am sorry but error 5 as you have reported is not the installer causing this problem it is because the HDD is not locked
5 - kernel - HDD not locked (retail bioses require the hd to be locked)
There could be 2 reasons the dash is failing to load if the problem is not error 5

if the dash worked with the chip off before the 2.1 install  check if the ms dash in evox works if so copy msxboxdash.xbe to xboxdash.xbe to correct this or use the installer ver 2.0 disk and select PRE XBOX LIVE  this will do the same thing.

or if the MS dash was not working in retail boot or was never checked and does not work now do this
using FTP get the evox.ini off the C: of the xbox edit the paths that I list below and send it back to the C: of the Xbox

#AudioPlayer   = "c:xboxdash.xbe"
MSDashBoard   = "c:xboxdash.xbe"
this will then use the xboxdash.xbe instead of the msxboxdash.xbe your 2.0 version used.

Why is this edit needed well because of trying to meet the standards the Apps have been using in the latest releases we felt it was in everyone intrest to join the current standards for file name in use. this will help future apps compatability with less if any issues. Sorry if this is a problem for you but there is no way to meet everyones needs.

Hope this helps you with your problem but the installer has nothing to do with unlocking the HDD this had to be done by you using configure magis or some other means or was never locked before the installer was used.

Exactly the point, V2.0 worked fine with the old chips and bioses.  However the new MultiVersion BIOSes (EvoX D.6 and X2 4972 and newer) will first look for "evoxdash.xbe" as the EvoX dash and then for "xboxdash.xbe" as the M$ dash.

In the old EvoX Dash version the M$ dash was called "msxboxdash.xbe" because that's what EvoX and the old bioses expected, and we had to do some rename tricks and rename "evoxdash.xbe" to "xboxdash.xbe" in order to have EvoX launched first by default.

In the new versions of the EvoX Dash that "bug" was corrected and the filenames have gone back to their original names and priority on boot has been given to "evoxdash.xbe" followed by "xboxdash.xbe" the M$ default for their Dash.

All the old "evox.ini" files still reference "msxboxdash.xbe" instead of "xboxdash.xbe" for the M$ Dash, and that is what is causing the problem!

I cannot explain this any simpler and if you still do not understand you really need to research how the EvoX Dash and the new Bioses work!

Needless to say, you cannot smoothly upgrade EvoX from the Slayer's v2.0 to Slayer's V2.1 without manually editing your "evox.ini" file and replacing all references for "msxboxdash.xbe" with "xboxdash.xbe" after upgrading to v2.1

Since the Installer is based on EvoX these changes were dictated by the EvoX dash and the new BIOSes and not by me!

Honestly, and not to insult you, but if you are not capable of getting it yourself when all the information is clearly provided and explained in detail on the first page, I really think you should NOT use the installer in the first place.  You will ruin your xbox and end up back here crying.

I was perfectly clear about NO DIRECT LINKS OR HAVING IT EMAILED TO ANYONE!

mIRC is simple and so are newsgroups.  Read everything carefully and you'll be able to find it.  Once you do get it MAKE SURE TO READ THE INCLUDED DOCUMENTATION BEFORE USING!

Lastly, and if you do run into any problems, READ this thread as someone has more than likely already asked the question and received an answer!

You are right and thaks for keeping it positive.  Enjoy the installer and feel free to help out in this forum or the IRC channel if you would not mind.

[bclapp]

I dunno what I'm not getting, but when I try to conect to the IRC server where Slaver's EvoX installer is I get an error because I need to setup identd.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?  Can someone help me out or send me to the right place?
Thanks,

**And I have made sure that identd is on in the option panel

[Drunken Uncle]

heres what I did, since the whole laziness factor seems to be discouraged, that and the cdrws I bought wouldnt work  

I downloaded the slayers evox 2.1 and extracted everything using xdfsextract to a folder called "slayers" on my pcs hard drive, I used the 1024k Executer BIOS to flash mine, then edited the BIOS selection out of the evox.ini, I also dumped all the skins onto my box from the slayers disc as well. Id like to actually know whats the best way to upgrade just evox via ftp, so if someone has a link to a post, the search didnt bring many results. I updated my media player a few weeks back already so no need to do that.

If for nothing else because it "encourages laziness" this tool rules because its a package of the latest stuff, rather than searching for everything separately. Good work!
