===================
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. :grr:
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!
BUT FIRST PLEASE READ THIS POST IN IT'S ENTIRETY AS WE WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS ALREADY COVERED HERE!

*********************
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!

Files have gone up in YENC format so make sure your newsreader supports it!
Please keep in mind that news servers take a while to distribute files so be patient. If you do not see this after a day or so, simply post a request for it in the "alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox" newsgroup.
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!

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

My question is this: If the harddisk has never been used for an xbox (and hence does not have the partritions and format of the original hardisk) can I still use the slayer boot disc 2.0 to set it up for the xbox without deleting all the current games on it? Thanks |
the whole hd need to be re-format. because they use different file system.

AFAIK, you have to open the iso with xISO and then upload the actual game files.

Please be so kind as to continue helping people in this forum that have questions, though I'd hoped that more of them would take the time to actually read the main post and the NFO's BEFORE posting their questions as 99% is already covered in the docs.

do you have to have a network connection because i dont have one and í dont have any money at the moment (still havent found it (because my news server is down when it is up again i'll look over there) or else i'd just check the manual sorry  )btw the link doesn't work anymore (http://62.31.204.217/) |
The network connection is for backing up your existing xbox data to your PC so in case something gets screwed up you don't end up with a dead xbox.
I assume you have a PC ( since you posted ) and you obviousely have an xbox, so all you need is a cheap crossover ethernet cable. You can get one for $5, just do a search on google for it or go to your local computer store.
Connect the 2 with the crossover cable, configure your PC with IP 192.168.1.10 and just FTP into the XBOX with IP 192.168.1.200 & User: xbox / Pass: xbox
DONE!
Good Luck!

Is this why the file size does not match? |
You will receive errors if someone used PAR files to recover a corrupt piece of the post or if there was even the slightest bit of corruption.
The RAR includes 7 pictures, 2 nfo's and the ISO.
Right-click on the ISO and do a "Properties" to get the size. It should be EXACTLY: 180,092,928 bytes, just as listed in the main NFO under statistics. You can use the rest of the statistics to verify you have an "un-modded" release.
Enjoy!

It makes no difference, both PxHDD Loader and EvoX autosort by name. What you MUST do is follow the folder rule of PxHDD Loader and create folders in sequence starting with "PxGame0"..... so next would be "PXGame1", etc...

Pat yourself on the back! You just found a Typo! Any others?
Yeas, please use commpn sense in cases like this. Of course you would not want to run the ConfigMagic fof XBOX v1.1 on a v1.0 XBOX "regardless" of what you read
Good catch.... I guess the fix will go in v2.1

StaticIP = NO Means that it will attempt to get an IP from your PC/Router/Server FIRST.
If the auto IP assignment, called DHCP, fails it then defaults to the most popular Private IP scheme, 192.168.1.200
As long as you are not using an E: or F: mod bios and my installer you'll be OK!

Filename.NFO = 8+3 DOS filename restrictions NFO stands for iNFO or Info, INFO = 4 letters so it is shortened to 3 NFO.
Open with a text file viewer like notepad.exe
It is just a text file.

Ha Ha Ha,
!!! Sorry I could not help it! Let me guess you simply copied the ISO as a file to the CDRW, and not burned it as an image, did you?
This stuff kills me. I tried to make this stuff noob proof and they invent a better noob....... LOL, sorry... could not help myself.
Ok, this is what you do ( which is the same for any ISO! ), you load up any CD burning software like Nero or RecordNow and select Burn IMAGE from the File menu for Nero and just click on the Image button for RecordNow. Simply point the program to the ISO extracted from the RAR archive and burn it onto a fresh CDRW.
Once the burn is complete, close the CD burning software, eject the tray with the disk in it and just close it again to refresh windows. Go to My Computer and double click on the Burner Drive so it opens up. If you see just the ISO file in the root of the CD you did something wrong. With My ISO you'll get an error reading the CD since the ISO is in XDFS, the XBOX file system, that is incompatible with PC's. I did that since the xbox reads XFS faster then UDF (seasoned xbox hackers know what I am talking about ). That error accessing the Installer should be enough to tell you all is probably OK.
Now take the CDRW, place in DVD tray of XBOX and power OFF/ON. If the Xbox boots from the Installer CDRW than you're set and you should see the green biohazard background. If you get anything else, the DVD drive in your XBOX more than likely did not read the media. Retry powering the XBOX OFF/ON with the media in a few times to make sure. It should detect the media eventually. If it does not, it's possible that your XBOX DVD drive is not capable of reading that particular brand of CDRW media. If you have DVDR media try that, if not get different CDRW media and try again.
Hope this is detailed enough for everybody. Now if only everybody would bother to read this

Burn ISOs with Nero (v0.1)
Tutorial written by : XanTium
Nero can be used to burn CD-RWs , but newer versions of Nero will also allow to burn DVD-R/RWs.
Start Nero.
Select "Recorder" > "Choose Recorder"
Select the burner you want to use ... and click "OK".
Now go to "File" > "Burn Image"
Browse your HD and select the .iso file , then press "Open".
Althought normal iso's work , it's still better to use the "real" xbox format. You can read here how to make a xiso file
Select "Write" and "Finalize CD".
Don't put "Write Speed" too high ... max 2x (or 4x if you have a quality burner) for CD-RW and 1x for DVD-R/RW.
If you installed a PC DVD-ROM in your xbox you can burn at full speed ofcourse.
Nero will start burning .... leave your PC alone till the CD/DVD is fully burned.

I have to say you have come up with the goods on this one. I'd also like to thank the FileTopia guys too as Newsfeeds and my ISP's news servers were only getting fragmented parts.
Well not only did V2 arrive this morning but my Matrix did too. Within 30 minutes the LPC holes were soldered, D.6 Red was flashed, Matrixed was fitted, existing drive was backup up, Maxtor 120Gb was installed.
Stunning piece of work, keep it up.

Well, vokal4, I designed this to be a simple click and install your whole xbox toolkit. If I remove functionality or Apps, do you really think that all these people that can't even find it would be capable to installing the apps on their own? All they would be left with would be a large HD with no tools or software.
The apps I chose were very carefully selected to give all around best functionality, and they are the latest releases 2.
The size of the installer is goverened by the size of all the M$ crap I was forced to include. The apps are about 5 MB worth compressed. If I did not discover the trick in incorporating multiple M$ dasboards with a space penalty of only 5MB compresses for any additional ones this installer would have weighed in at about 450Mb
Lastly, since it's "open" software, feel free to strip it down for your use, but I bet you anything that you'll keep it just the way it is

Thank you for your post swerver69 & every other satisfied user. It makes me very happy to know that I've helped out.
I do have a request for all happy people out there that have come to realize how important this installer is:
PLEASE e-mail XanTium, who posts all the news on the main page of xbox-scene.com and ask him to post news about this installer as well as a link back to this thread. I have seen countless posts with problems that would not exist if everyone would use my installer from the start. It will save eveyone a lot of grief to be aware of this tool.
Thank you all!

OK, first of all DO NOT USE THAT "Evox.ini" you list above!!!!
That file is the default that comes with EvoX! It will just wipe your xbox and leave you wistling in the wind.
My installer ISO is in XDFS format which is optimal and the same format Xbox games come in. However, if you want to burn your own files in the alternate UDF format, just grab XISO (see xbox-scene downloads) and open the SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.0.ISO file. Extract all the files (170MB) to an empty folder and then burn all the files with RecordNow Max or suimmilar tool that can burn UDF 128 & 8.3 Closed.
Boot with that disk and it should work.
Good luck!

2) If using an upgraded HD choose Option 3 (REBUILD NEW LARGE HD on V1.X SYSTEM). F: drive will be created and apps copied there. All done!
3) Samsung HD's Suck. They have lots of problems and come from factory jumpered for 33MB or so.

The error 07 is a HHD timeout, because you either have a jumper on the drive set wrong or maybe a damaged cable.
since the medea that did boot before if i read it right with the orignal HHD. now with a new 120 Gig drive wont boot.
If jumpered wrong both the DVD and the HHD are trying to set who is (0) and who is (1) on the cable. if they cant the OS in the xbox will give up trying and return error 07 HHD timeout. look at the jumpers and make sure it is set to a master or master with slave if it has that option, do not use cable select or slave. some drives require 2 jumpers and some require just 1 jumper. new drives should have a diagram on the lable of the drive as to what to jump for master.
hope this helps, if you put the orignal drive back in will it boot to evox? if not check your chip alignment.

It looks like another collection of tools, but I seriousely doubt that it's as polished and easy to use for a noob as my installer. Also note that some of the tools are old and some apps are made redundant by recently released and improved software, all of which is in my installer.
If people post questions about my installer after 2 detailed step by step documents totaling over 18 pages of instructions, you can imagine the chaos that mess will create.
Please remember that the reason I created this is to make xbox modding Plug & Play. It's for beginners, advanced users need not use it.

1) Do a format from the installer! Option (7-1) - It will erase the entire HD and leave it blank!
2) Delete the files manually from C: (evoxdash.xbe, skins folder, items.txt, evox.ini)
What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Boot to EVOX from HDD, in the first screen go to SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
in the screen that comes up go to SYSTEM SETTINGS
make the changes you want in the IP settings and choose exit & Save at the very bottom way down there.
shut down and restart and ip is set
Also if you want to get back to the installer option screen just reboot from the INSTALLER CD.

I disabled mod chip and then it gave me Error 5.
I also took HD out and tried HD Preparer 1.3 on it, but it gives error: "Error writing drive at sector 0". Probabaly because HD is locked? I can't unlock this drive with hdunlock.exe because I don't have password for it. Is there any other way??
I also tried Slayer's Auto Installer and when I choose option"Rebuild Retail HD" formating goes well (no errors), it also copies all files to disk with short "Done" at the end, but when I reboot XBOX it's still Error 16 When I go to ConfigMagic menu and run "ConfigMagic v1.0 EEprom Setting" XBOX gives Error 21. Same error for options like "NTSC-PAL Video Mode switcher" and all others who need to be run from dashboard.
Any ideas what should I do?

Glad to hear you're happy!
You can copy whatever you want to your HD. If you chose the REBUILD LARGE HD option then it placed all the apps under f:\apps. All you need to do is create additional folders under Apps like this: F:\Apps\MameX\ EvoX is already setup to auto-discover/sort all apps under the Apps folder provided the main executable file is called "default.xbe"
Enjoy!

It seems to work for the regular controllers but not the S-type... Thanks guys.... |
Well, neither question is about my installer, they are both about specific functionalitly of the applications installed. What did I say about me not supporting the individual tools? You really need to read things carefully and think before you post.
Oh, hell, here you go:
1) In XBMP2, go to the very bottom of the main menu and you'll see 2 small rectangular buttons. The one on the left is reset the one on the right is power off. Hmmmm..... simple, no?
2) Both Triggers and then "Back" & Black, all simultaneous. Works for me!

| I bought XBOX and gave it to my chip installer to mod it (with homebrew, EvoX D.6). Without turning the console on he installed chip and gave it back. When I booted console XBOX reported Error 16. It didn't want zo boot anything else but EvoX CDRW. I figured something is wrong with HD so I used NewHDEvoX1.2 to format and install thing all over again. I guess HD formatted OK, copy also worked (?), but when pressinf "Fix Attributes" it reported Error 21. After rebooting it still gives Error 16. I disabled mod chip and then it gave me Error 5. I also took HD out and tried HD Preparer 1.3 on it, but it gives error: "Error writing drive at sector 0". Probabaly because HD is locked? I can't unlock this drive with hdunlock.exe because I don't have password for it. Is there any other way?? I also tried Slayer's Auto Installer and when I choose option"Rebuild Retail HD" formating goes well (no errors), it also copies all files to disk with short "Done" at the end, but when I reboot XBOX it's still Error 16 When I go to ConfigMagic menu and run "ConfigMagic v1.0 EEprom Setting" XBOX gives Error 21. Same error for options like "NTSC-PAL Video Mode switcher" and all others who need to be run from dashboard. Any ideas what should I do? tnx! |
Has your xbox ever worked after you got it back modded?
Do you have a backup of your original files?
If you do, restore the backup and in the M$ Dashbaord go to System Imfo and let me know the values for K: and D:

Thank you for your post Bificus Beefy M.D It makes me very happy to know that I've helped out.
I do have a request for all happy people out there that have come to realize how important this installer is:
PLEASE e-mail XanTium, who posts all the news on the main page of xbox-scene.com (just click on his name) and ask him to post news about this installer as well as a link back to this thread. I have seen countless posts with problems that would not exist if everyone would use my installer from the start. It will save eveyone a lot of grief to be aware of this tool.
Thank you all!

I installed new 20 GB HD and XBOX works fine now. But I'd like to unlock retail HD somehow! Is there ANY way to obtain password for original XBOX HD besides brute force - so I can unlock it and then format it and use your auto installer? Password generated with newly installed HD is not accepted by unlockx. tnx |
Retail HD can only be unlocked in the original XBOX it came in and only if the EEPROM has not been touched. Run ConfigMagic and unlock it. If ConfigMagic fails to run, restore the original files from backup on that drive, install ConfigMagic just like any app, run it and unlock!

ConfigMagic won't boot with retail HD in XBOX, it gives Error 21.
When I use new 20 GB hard drive ConfigMagic boots ok - actually all things work fine.
I tried and disable chip (so XBOX is in "Virgin" state) but instead of booting normally it gives Error 5. I haven't touched EEprom, don't even know how to do that.
I'm now looking for solution how to unlock retail HD in PC without original password, because I have no clue how to do that in XBOX? Can I use hotswap in ConfigMagic? ... I run it from new HD and then swap it with retail one?

Invalid or corrupt authenticity information
I mean, it unrars, but it just gives that error message...I haven't burned it onto a DVD yet, but I wanted to make sure that it was not bugged before I wasted a DVDr.
What version of winrar did you use to rar it? Did you use a version older than 3.0?

OK, do this:
1) use 20GB HD and load my installer.
2) select option (2) to save the EEPROM info to c:\backup on the 20GB HD
3) FTP into the XBOX and copy the entire c:\backup folder to your PC
4) Connect LOCKED Retail Xbox HD to your PC
5) Reboot PC (ignore any warnings about they HD)
6) In Windows, get a copy of and load up "LiveInfo" from Team-Assembly
7) Open up the eeprom.bin file from the copy of the c:\backup
8) If the password in the eeprom.bin file matches the one in the HD, you'll see the HD displayed at the bottom of LiveInfo. Select "Unlock"
9) Done!
10) Drink a beer to my health!

This was me for the past 2 weeks.
After talking to SS113 and fitting different chips only to come back to the first chip it worked.
I fitted a homebrew chip not knowing what bios it had on it and all was well ,it played copies and so on.
Then I discovered slayer's evox which I installed at once and got the above results.
I could'nt get anything to work so I thought it was the chip and with this I got a different one ,ploped it in and nothin would'nt even boot .
In the end I tried the first chip again which had been fitted straight to the board with the link ,but this time I used wires 1-9 with link and bob's yer uncle it worked .
So it just goes to show you that even though it play copies is your chip really fitted properly.
P.S its a homebrew evox 3.6ef bios with 1.1 eject fix
Can anyone tell me does it support hdd upgrade before I go and buy one.

1)
When i put the auto installer v2.0 disk in and started the xbox.
The screen comes on and at the bottom it says MATRIX INSIDE.
Does this mean what i think (that the chip is a matrix, not x-ecuter2 lite)?
2)
When your auto installer starts this is on the screen.
EVOX v1.8.3285 ----------------------------------------SLAYER TOOLS v2.0
BIOS: EVOX D.6-----------------------------------------C: 415.563.776
KERNEL 1.06.4817.01----------------------------------E: 5.094.883.328

Does this mean that the evox is already installed?
Looks like everything has been done. ( but I have been wrong before )

D: is your DVD drive and you cannot read it through FTP until EvoX and the Drive itself recognizes the media.

NO, it means you've booted from the installer. Since it's based on EvoX it displays that info.
Your IP is 0.0.0.0 which means you're either not networked or the IP is incompatible with your network. you MUST be able to FTP to the XBOX and back it up before doing anything further. Read earlier posts in this thread and follow the tutorials.
You have a retail HD so if you want to be able to store games on the HD you must upgrade it.
Before you do anything, fix the IP problem, backup the EEPROM and BIOS with option (2) on the installer and then FTP the contents of both your C: and E: partitions to a safe place on your PC. I already cover all this in the Instalation instructions for the installer. Than follow the instructions there to install EvoX to the HD and all the apps. Easy as pie.
Remember to read everything first!

Make sure you burned your iso image with the following options:
1. Disk at once.
2. Finalize
3. Burn at 2x or 4x.
I use Memorex 4x and 10x cd-rw's with zero problems. Last disk I burnt at 10x and it loads every time in my xbox.

And also
When I place the media into my xbox...no ip addy is shown.
But iI went ahead with the install anyway (works a treat)
Now I'm lucky I got away with it,
All I want to know is why didn't my ip addy show up, do I need to have the disc in when I try to connect into the pc?

You have many issues that should be answered in the installer information files, if you already used the installer to install any of the options on the disk then you did not read the files and need to do so. there you will find that you have already writen over your files that you were to make a back up of. and so the error 13 problem you are having could be tough to recover if your xbox wont work with one of the dash's included in the installer.
as for the FTP problem there are tutorials for how to get your FTP working, there is also good help in XP just click on HELP. ask it what you want to know and read. click BLUE words below for the TUT. pages.

| Hi Installed Slayers on a 10 gig HDD, everything works a treat except I can't get back to the M$ dash to change the clock!!! Any ideas on what to do, any work around's possible? ...When you hit the "go to M$ dash" option all it does is reboot the system rather than drop into the M$ dash. |
Follow the directions to recover from the error 13 or 21 it is the very first step after the install. Please read and follow the instructions, if you still have trouble and cant get it come see me on mIRC and we will get you going.

I have an Executer-2, with a mod on/off switch. I used an Evox disk to create the /backup directory, and then backed up by Xbox C and E. I then installed a larger hard drive, and copied back my original C and E drive info. My Evox dash is evoxdash.xbe.
At this point, everything works as expected.
Now, I'd like to try the Slayer install.
Since I have gotten to this point, can I skip the Slayer pre-steps? I would assume I could if:
option (2) to "save BIOS/EPROM" is the same as an Evox backup.
Can anyone confirm this???
I know, I'm just saving myself a little time here - I just don't want to have another backup if I don't need it.
Thanks for listening... This is similar to lopkhie's question, but I didn't yet see an answer.

The backup that I made originally is the same as what Slayer's backup would give you.

New update.
Looks like the contents of the C partition on a 4972 Xbox do not work on a 3944 model. But I did install the dash on top of my evoxdash.xbe and the files remained intact! It did reorganize the original C contents to the reduced folders though.

since ive never tried cd-rw on my philips drive before, i will try with some mp3 collections first.
Questions.
FTP to xbox, (yes ive read tutorials)
Im connected to the net via LAN and a ethernet card. Do i need another ethernet card in my PC?
(to connect the crossover cable to the xbox.) Problem is that my pc dont have space for two cards.
i have an xbox v.1.1, and will install X-ecuter 2 Lite, with a new 80 G WD. and use the rebuild
"(F) Setting-Up a V1.1 XBOX with an Upgraded HD and a MOD chip that can be turned OFF!"
the one problem i see, is that cant save the original HDD to my pc, if i need two ethernet cards.
and as i understand, this is important if m$ dash get raped during the slayer installation(faulty cd-rw..)
as the box mainly is for original dvd playback, do i have to go into to the m$ dash from evox to get to the dolby digital/DTS settings?
And can i still use the dvd remote/infrared with the installation?
thanks.

| Wanted to say 'THANKYOU' 1wolf1 for a great product. Otherthan working out that my Aussie Xbox V1.1 didn't like Acer CDRW media but loved Kodac CDRW, things went like clockwork. Mind you, I get some assistance from a buddy in Adelaide. I do have one question though regarding a lost 2Gb portion on the original Xbox HDD. This is a ST310211A Seagate HDD which I believe is a 10Gb 5400rpm model going by the Seagate home page. Just some feedback regarding my setup steps. I installed the mod chip. With the Slayors boot disk running, I unlocked the OEM HDD with the unlock utility menu. I then removed the OEM HDD and inserted this into my PC as I had a replacement 80GB HDD for the Xbox. I then run the fdisk utility on PC but it would only recognise 8Gb and not the 10Gb as I thought it would. Tried running the Prep1.3 xbox format tool on PC with still no luck. Then reinstalled the OEM HDD back into the XBox and run the slayors disk as I read positive results regarding this lost 2Gb scenario. Still no luck with this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

How to get the extra 2 gigz from your original xbox HD (v0.3)
Tutorial written by : Robizzle
http://www.xbox-scen...les/formatf.php
In the installer there is the option to format F: as well as the way the tutorial says to do it. I have not gone after the extra space of the OEM drive as I have kept mine as a backup to the Xbox. Sorry I dont have better answers about this but I have no experiance in that drive.

Yes you can add the evox and apps over your current evox install but remember this is set up to run the apps as installed and your custom setting may not be the same so save your current evox.ini file for referance but for the apps to work right with the way they are installed by the installer you will have to use the evox.ini that the installer installs and maybe edit it to suit your needs.
If all you want to do is update the evox only on your xbox then it would be best to locate the 1.8.3285 EvoX release and install it .

| Excellent package, Slayer. I had someone point me towards the IRC method of finding it about a month or two back.. At that point, I'd never heard of it, and really didn't know much about it... For that matter, I think that few people realized it existed at that point. I just had a new HD to setup, and was looking for the easiest way to do so. Your package certainly provded to be the easiest, and most certainly the best...by far. Kudos for a job well done. Don't get discouraged for the seeming "lack of support".. I assure you there are many people out there that have saved themselves a great deal of hassle thanks to it, and would give you a big pat on the back in person if they could.. |
Thanks for the nice comments glad you find it usefull.
