>>>> NEW! SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.1 <<<<<

===================
09/11/03 - NEWSFLASH:
I sincerely hope everyone is watching the memorial and wishes terrorism was fiction not reality.  God Bless America!
I kinda wish my installer was a terrorism fighting tool     Anyway, I might consider releasing an updated version once the dust settles with >137GB HD's and possibly a newer dash.  The M$ Dash hacks are still too young for noobs and lack the awessome auto update functionality of EvoX so I doubt I will include those unless they mature. No promises or timelines. If anyone wishes to help, and you are good at this, PM me!
===================
08/12/03 - NEWSFLASH:
Saying it's ok to build on my installer is one thing, but ripping off my name and using it as your own?  What the hell is this?
I did not or will EVER approve the use of the name of a tried-and-true product for something someone hacked or built, without me working with them on it, regardless of what it claims to do.
Since I cannot perform quality control you all know I would never endorse that!

Please remember that unless it's posted by me, IT'S a FAKE and a FRAUD!
msn25, shame on you!
===================
08/08/03 - NEWSFLASH:
Please guys, no more "when is the next one out" emails!!!

Unfortunately, the installer is not paying my mortgage and therefore I need to spend time on more relaistic projects.  But as both SS113 and myself have said on many occasions, the installer is a stepping stone, not a solution on a platter.  Just take it apart and learn for yourself.

Several people already asked me if they can build on top of it and make their own installer based on mine, and release it.  I agreed it's a great idea, as long as they are nice enought to give credit for what they based on my work, just like I always gave credit for everyone else's tools.

Anyway, if, and I stress, if there is a new version you'll learn about it in this "news flash" section.

Now go out here, get the latest utils, bioses and apps, and have some learning fun.  When you get bored of that fun, play a game or 2
===================
06/24/03 - NEWSFLASH:
I am sorry to announce that while I will still try to support the installer by answering posts to this thread and on IRC (when I am there) I have paused working on any new version of the installer.  My time has been precious lately.  There could be a newer version in the future, maybe after NexGen Dash is out, but do not hold your breath.

However, if anyone has lots of time and wants to continue development, support and improve the installer, or maybe even collaborate with me on a new version, feel free to contact me!

===================
06/15/03 - NEWSFLASH:
Sorry I have been absent lately, I am working on a few time consuming projects that require all my attention.  There are a few updates out there for the XBMP and a bios but I am sure you all are capable of updating your xbox on your own now that SlaYer's showed you the way  
BTW, has anyone looked at the poll? I love the "I could do better (and can prove it) [ 16 ]   [4.24%]"  Hmmm... I do not see 16 different installers out there, do you?  
Thanks again to everyone helping to support the installer in the forum and IRC channel!
===================
04/27/03 - NEWSFLASH:
In order to make the new installer work will all xboxes as well as support the latest features from all the new BIOSes and EvoX, you CANNOT simply install on top of an Xbox built from the old installer v2.0  You should backup your E: and F: data via FTP and "REBUID" the HD from scratch! This could not be avoided as the new Bioses support different names for the M$ Dash.
===================
04/24/03 - NEWSFLASH:
The new installer was finally released last night and I have verified it has made it to the usual places.  The IRC channel reports ALL ready! Thank you for your patience and enjoy!

Please be aware that I will NOT be releasing a new installer as soon as a new version of one of the Apps comes out, so DO NOT ASK! Learn to update Apps on your own while using the installer as a guide!
===================
04/23/03 - NEWSFLASH:
A note to anyone updating only XBMP (menu option 5) from the old installer to the new one.  You must do 2 things:  FTP into your xbox and delete the XBPlayer folder under E:Apps  or F:Apps (depending on HD type) THEN change your evox.ini so the Media Player is run from the "XBMP" folder, not "XBPlayer"  (Basically change any instance of "XBPlayer" with "XBMP")
===================

With the continued assistance of CoRPSe, Moosta, SS113, Flyingscotsman and countless others, our IRC channel has been the best place to go for support and to obtain the latest version.  Please do not abuse it by asking questions already covered in this forum and behave properly.  Remeber, there is a "SEARCH" option  in this forum

On Newsgroups, it will go up in YENC format so make sure your newsreader supports YENC!

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, after all this information and links, 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!

Feel free to modify the installer and make your own but please give credit if you reuse my work or build on top of it!

Well all that said, please help your fellow users, post your comments/feedbacks, and enjoy this new version in good health!

1wolf1 - Thanks man look forward to using it to set up a buddies box.  I'm always amazed at the amount of haters out there.  I would hate to see how many more noobie questions there would be without you.  Thanks to your tool v1.something I was able to actually play games about an hour after installing a hard-drive and modchip, instead of taking hours for a new install.  For me, thats why I have an xbox in the first place.

[fiveohhh]

Awesome!  This app really helped me get my foot in the door.

Will it still be required to edit the .ini by adding an IP to be able to ftp?  

Is this a stupid question?  Should I shut it?

no, it will magically be able to detect your network settings without dhcp

Okay, I had that coming.  I just figured that since so many people use similiar setups that it would come with something standard configured (192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.3).

Actually according to estimates from the previous version, 60% of the users connect to the XBOX directly with a cable and the rest have the most popular router, the LinkSys, which supports DHCP.

The installer is setup to use DHCP first, and if not available to default to a 192.168.1.200 IP with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and Gateway 192.168.1.1

1)  If you connect to a PC directly, just make sure your PC IP is 192.168.1.X (but X cannot be 200 )

2)  If you use a LinkSys Router, make sure DHCP is enabled.

Easy as pie!  There is nothing I can do to make this simpler!
