Editing the ini file is simple...just use notepad...many tuts.  Slayer's gives you more of the progs that you probably want on the xbox.  It all depends if you want the progs, which you probably will, and you can delete those that you do not want.  As far as editing the ini file, I think that I did it once to install a second hdd with a switch.

i would go with installing it yourself i mean sure you have to get all the apps but it wont take more than like an hour if its not a busy day.  Also editing the ini file is easy but you should learn how it is layed out and such.  When i first installed evox i did it the hard way but it was fine because i didnt know about all the applications so whenever i needed one i would get it and over time i just collected quite a few.  So i geuss if you want a quick solution use slayers.
but personally i dont like the way the menu is layed out.

you would learn more doing it yourself but if you are just using EvoX + apps to rip games to your HDD just go for SlaYerS

When I 1st got my Xbox (12/'03) i nstalled Slayers..bah didnt like it at all. Its bloat, so removed and install apps seprately smile.gif  The *.ini isnt that hard, what can go wrong? if you goofed up, just go back to the *.ini and re-edit.

or buy a programmer, depending on what chip you have.

I used Slayers just to upgrade Evox (seemed like the easiest way) and then used my original evox.ini that I had created to replace the one Slayers has ( i thought it was poop *no offense to slayer, it's a great program* wink.gif )

to upgrade??? SlaYerS has an older version of EvoX on it... to upgrade get firefucker's X-Disk (just like SlaYerS except with more up-to-date stuff)

If it help you to understand what slayers is actually doing (any autoinstaller based on Evox for that matter) I have a tut on my website about "rolling your own slayer's disk".  Check it out.

Its alright to use the installers but you just wont learn as much(thats if you want to)
But you will still have the opportunity to learn later on.
