Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to Auto-Installer Deluxe 4.52, the most complete and flexible installer there
is for the Xbox console.

This installer has over 60 different emulators, applications, and dashboards all in one
easy-to-use interface. It has the option of installing all the applications and emulators
bundled on the disc, or individually if you prefer. You can even install dashboards as
normal applications if you want to experiment with a particular dashboard or simply
you want it installed but not as your main dashboard.

There are also features like Phoenix BIOS Loader, which will allow you to enable a
dual-boot system on your Xbox. You can either have it load different partitions and/or
have a Debug BFM BIOS used so you can develop. Another great program included is
XSelect, which will let you boot any program on startup of your Xbox, simply by
pressing a button on startup when you see the XSelect message.

This is also by far the most covered installer as far as Softmods go as well. This
features the option to either install the Softmod by itself, or by the simple One-Click
Install system which is in place for both Softmodded and Modchipped boxes.

Over the half decade that this program has spanned (2004 to 2008) it has always tried
to maintain It’s dominance in the Auto-Installer category of Xbox Homebrew Software,
and with the support that it has received over this time you could even say that it is
the best Installer / Compilation DVD ever made for the Xbox.

This may be the final version, but full documentation has been included so that any
Addon packs can be made to keep it up-to-date (new XBMC or other apps, new Skins).

With all that said, enjoy THE finest pieces of Xbox Homebrew History!!

Features of the Auto-Installer


Here is a list of features that the auto-installer covers:

 Boots on a modded or soft-modded Xbox. Modchip users must be using a


proper BIOS (NOT Cromwell/Linux) and Softmod users must have already
installed their Softmod before attempting to launch this.

 Install Complete Softmod and MS Dash setups with either PBL or NKpatcher for
the Softmod. Requires booting of Softmod Installer Deluxe first in order to use
this (Xboxes with Modchips should not bother about this feature).

 Install ROMs as well as your Emulators when you include Romset Addon packs.

 Install Dashboards, Applications, and Emulators anywhere on your Xbox.

 File Manager built into the installer, for easy deleting / copying.

 Boot either the Microsoft Dashboard, or any Dashboard stored on C, E, F, or G


Drive directly from the installer.

 Format / Prepare and now Backup your Partitions. The backups are neatly
stored in a folder of your choice.

 Use XSelect to boot various Dashboards and Applications.

 Use PBL MeToo Edition to boot a BFM BIOS (great for if you have an old BIOS
on a Modchip and you don’t want to reflash). This comes in a single and dual
mode, the dual mode using a Debug BIOS.

PLEASE NOTE: Only the BIOS is supplied as part of the Debug setup, so it is
up to you to install the XDK on your PC, and put the correct files on your Xbox.
Documentation about this can be found in Appendix F.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 6 of 59

Chapter 3: Preparing the AID 4.52 disc on your PC


Extracting the AID 4.52 Archive
The first step is to unrar the archive that you have downloaded; to do this you will
need a program such as 7-Zip or WinRAR to do so. DO NOT try and burn the RAR file
on to a CD / DVD as it will not work.

This is a screenshot of all the


files you should have (please
note that this screenshot will be
a little different as the final
release will have more rar files).

To extract the archive, right-


click on the xbhqaid4.rar file,
and use your program of choice
(whether it be 7-Zip or WinRar)
to extract the archive. When it’s
extracted, you will see a folder
called
Auto.Installer.Deluxe.v4.52.
Xbox-Hq. A screenshot below
shows the contents of the
archive.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 7 of 59

Using the AID ISO Updater Program


Now, before you burn the ISO you may want to add some additional extras to Auto-
Installer Deluxe 4, like for example a translation pack or a dummy file pack (which will
basically insert either a 100mb or 1gb dummy file at the start of the ISO). You can find
the ISO updater Program in the Tools folder of the archive you extracted.

This is the first screen you will see on the


update tool. Your first job is to select the
Auto-Installer Deluxe 4 ISO file (highlighted
green in the screenshot to the right).

After selecting the ISO you need to select the update file (highlighted green in the top
section of the screenshot to the left). You will see down at the bottom of the status
screen the files that have been loaded. You can clear the selected updates using the
”Clear filelist” button highlighted in blue. Once you are done selecting the updates,
click on the Save ISO button highlighted in red. After you select the location and
filename of the ISO it will start working away.

Once the new image has been made you will see this popup
window (shown on the right). This confirms that the ISO has been
created and is now ready for burning.

Please note that this program DOES work for Auto-Installer


Deluxe v3.0 and newer, and the add-on packs it supports.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 8 of 59

The AID 4.52 Addon / Update Packs


In the package is included a selection of addon packs. The way they are listed is the
order that you should load them into your ISO. This page will explain what their
purposes are.

AID4.Dummyfile.xxxx: This adds a 1 GB Dummy file to your ISO image


(recommended for DVD users only). The Dummy file is the first file put in the ISO and
creates a gap from the start of the disc, making it easier for your Xbox DVD Laser to
read the disc.

AID4.Addon.BIOS.Pack. xxxx: This Addon pack adds a BIOS flashing feature to


AID, using the EvoX interface for flashing. This is only recommended for advanced
users that know what they are doing, as incorrect use of the BIOS flashing features
can damage your TSOP / Modchip.

AID4.Addon.DHCP.Patch. xxxx: This Addon fixes up the network settings to DHCP.


Please note if you did not install the BIOS Pack that you will not be able to use it, even
though it is displayed in the menu. It will even patch Softmod installs.

AID4.Addon.Soundtrack.AIDx: This Addon pack will include some background


music whilst you are using the AID 4 installer. Soundtrack.AID2 and Soundtrack.AID3
are the soundtracks from the previous installer.

AID4.Addon.TrainerPack.xxxx: This Addon pack contains all the Game Trainers for
your Xbox games.

AID4.Addon.XBMC.Scripts.xxxx: This Addon pack includes all the extra scripts for
Xbox Media Center. This was done so that they weren’t forced installed with the
program, as they can take a while to install.

AID4.SkinPack.xxxx: These Addon packs install additional skins for the particular
dashboard. I have also included some XXX skins this time as well. Even though there
may not be too many, you could easily remake the Skinpack if you know what you are
doing. Just pay close attention to the directory structure after you extract it, as this is
necessary in order for the update pack to be integrated correctly.

AID4.Romset.xxxx: These Addon packs install ROMs for your Emulators. Further
explanation on what systems / consoles use which emulator are explained in Appendix
K of this manual.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 9 of 59

Chapter 4: Burning the ISO with DVD Decrypter


This is how to burn the ISO file with DVD Decrypter. Before proceeding, make sure you
have an updated version of DVD Decrypter (3.5.1.0 or higher).

This program is considered Freeware so it is distributed with this package. You can find
DVD Decrypter v3.5.4.0 in the Tools folder.

Firstly, open DVD Decrypter, then press the W button. This is a shortcut to the ISO
Writing Screen. Alternatively you can go to Tools, Select ISO, and then Write on the
submenu box that the menu pops up. When this screen appears you can either browse
for your ISO file, or just drag and drop it into the window. Now, before proceeding
(which is click on the HDD to DVD icon) make sure you have the verify box ticked and
the Write Speed set at a low speed, to ensure that is burned properly.

Once this is all done you can proceed to burn your CD-RW / DVD. If you start receiving
write errors while burning, try a lower writing speed.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 10 of 59

Chapter 5: The Main menu for AID 4.52


Here’s the first glimpse of the main menu:

The structure has basically stayed the same from version 3.10, except with a few more
additions and a little bit of a shuffle around with the menu items.

The Tools section is now incorporated into the Advanced Options menu.

The Backup / Restore HDD section is where you can make a backup (or restore a
previous backup) of a drive to another drive, for example making a backup of C Drive
on E or F. It will also create a MS Backup from the AID disc and backup your Eeprom.

The Format / Prepare HDD section is where you can format your Xbox’s Hard Drive,
and also prepare it with the folders it requires on your E, F, or G Drives.

The One-Click Installs section is designed to install a dashboard of your choice, and
the basic programs required (Dvd2Xbox, DVD-X, Enigmah NTSC-PAL, and XBMC). This
has been set up for Modchip users, and also two Softmod versions (SID 3.1 and SID
4.5). The Softmod versions will completely re-install the Softmod in the process.

The Softmod Section is basically an identical copy of Softmod Installer Deluxe 3.1
Final and Softmod Installer Deluxe 4, doing this will hopefully make it a bit easier to
understand when using both AID and SID systems.

Pressing the Y button at most menus will give you detailed information about your
Xbox, this can sometimes come in handy (another wonderful UnleashX option).
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 11 of 59

Chapter 6: Preparing your Xbox Hard Drive


Backup / Restore your Hard Drive

This feature had to be completely re-written from scratch for this version, due to it be
very buggy and basically non-working in version 2. Instead of trying to zip the
backups, it will just copy them to your location. Tests proved that using the zip option
took way too long and made the soundtrack very jumpy.

Here’s the locations of where the backups are put on your HDD, they are on G Drive in
the example:

G:\Backup\C\  C Drive Backup


G:\Backup\E\  E Drive Backup
G:\Backup\F\  F Drive Backup
G:\Backup\G\  G Drive Backup
G:\Backup\Cache\  Cache Backup (X, Y, and Z Drives)
G:\Backup\Gamesaves\  Gamesaves Backup
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 12 of 59

Format / Prepare your Hard Drive

If you have a virgin HDD (meaning you’ve just bought it and it’s not formatted), Auto-
Installer Deluxe v4.0 can automatically format the drive for you (thanks to the
wonders of the UnleashX system which powers Auto-Installer Deluxe). Although, there
might be times where it might not format your F and G Partitions properly. Go to the
Format / Prepare HDD option and format the drives again after you’ve done a
reboot on the initial format.

If your HDD is already set up, you can use this to completely wipe a partition clean.
However, if you are only upgrading your apps etc (for argument’s sake let’s say they
are on D Drive) it would be wiser to use the File Manager and delete files and folders
you don’t want. This way there is no risk in formatting the partition and losing games,
emulators etc.

There is also an option called Prepare <X> Drive, which will prepare your selected
partition with the necessary folders that are needed, like your Apps folder, your Games
folder, your Music folder, and your Videos folder.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 13 of 59

Chapter 7: One-Click Installs


The One-Click Install system is designed for people that want to get your Xbox set up
properly, or some people that are new to Modding and wish to use the easiest method
possible of setting your Xbox up with a Dashboard and apps.

These installations come standard with MS Dash, DVD-X (for DVD Playback), Enigmah
NTSC-PAL (for change video regions), DVD2Xbox (to backup DVDs to the HDD), and
Xbox Media Center (to play all your media content).

Modchip Users

Your options are simple; you have the following to choose from:

 Install Anod-X Dashboard


 Install Avalaunch Dashboard
 Install EvolutionX Dashboard
 Install UnleashX Dashboard
 Install XBMC Dashboard
 Install XSelect + UnleashX Dashboard

After you’ve selected what you want to install, the installer will go ahead and set it all
up for you.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 14 of 59

Softmod Users

There are several options available here:

 Single Boot with no Virtual C


This is only recommend for people who don’t want the extra security of the
Virtual C Drive and Eeprom.
 Single Boot with Virtual C
Recommended for most and novice users.
 Dual Boot with Softmod Menu on Open Tray
Recommended for more intermediate / advanced users.
 Dual Boot with MS Dash on Open Tray
Recommended for advanced users only, as the Xbox Live account must be set
up before the Softmod is installed.

Once you have select one of these options, the program will proceed so you can select
the Dashboard you wish to install, like the Modchip users section.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 15 of 59

Chapter 8: Installing Dashboards


Installing the Microsoft Dashboard

Go to the Dashboards Section and select the MS Dash from there. It’s a good idea
that you format C drive before installing the MS Dash; this ensures a clean install of it.

Just remember if you have a Softmod or Hacked Dash installed on C Drive that you
MUST install it again before turning off your Xbox, since the Xbox’s C Drive has been
formatted (VERY IMPORTANT FOR SOFTMOD USERS!!)
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 16 of 59

Installing a Hacked Dashboard


When installing your choice of dashboard you will notice there are a few options.
Firstly you select which drive you want to install your dashboard to (along with if you
want DHCP or not), then you select the dashboard you want. After this you are given
these 3 options:

Retail HDD (E) - Large HDD (E+F) - Larger HDD (E+F+G)

Basically the Retail HDD is the standard 8-10 GB drive that comes with your Xbox, the
Large HDD is a replacement drive up to 120 GB, and the Larger HDD is over 120 GB.

When installing a dash on a Softmodded Xbox, make sure you use the dashboards in
the Install Dashboard (Softmod) as they are set up to work with the Softmodded
MS dash. If you use a dashboard configured for a Modchip, you will realize that you
won’t be able to boot the MS Dash again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are using the SID 5 system with the Virtual C + Eeprom,
install a normal dashboard to E Drive, not a Softmod one. Due to the way SID 5 is set
up it won’t work any other way.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 17 of 59

Chapter 9: Installing Applications and Emulators


Installing Applications
Go to the Install Applications section, then select a drive to install to (usually this is
E Drive for a Retail HDD
and F for large HDDs).

You will notice you have the


option to install all the
hacked dashboards as apps,
which I personally do and
just run XSelect to boot
them. There is also the
option to install all the
applications in one click,
personally I don’t use this
as there are only a small
handful of apps that I use
but I’m sure there are
people out there that do.

Installing Emulators
Go to the Install
Emulators section, then
select a drive to install to
(usually this is E Drive for a
Retail HDD and F for large
HDDs).

You can install all the


emulators at once with the
“Install all emulators”
option. However this can
take a very long time
especially if you have added
extra ROM Add-on Packs to
the Auto-Installer Deluxe
DVD.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 18 of 59

Chapter 10: Rom Installer Section

This section is very straight forward. Basically you are asked what drive you keep your
Emulators, and then what Emulator you want to install ROMs for. The installer will then
proceed to install specific ROMs for each emulator.

OK, that’s the easy part, now it gets a bit more difficult. As you know, most ROMs are
illegal to distribute, so it is up to the user to make their own Romset files.

The information in Appendix I and Appendix J show how the Romsets works, and
how to create them. I have included a few as examples, but do to legal reasons I can
not distribute most of these sets.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 19 of 59

Chapter 11: The Softmod Section

This is the first screen you see which displays your options. Just a quick note, make
sure you don’t forget to install SID in the Advanced Options section if you wish to
boot the Gamesave via the original game, that’s if you haven’t already installed it.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 20 of 59

Single Boot Softmod Options


These are the single-boot options available to you:

 Standard
 Standard for HD
 Virtual C + Eeprom
 Virtual C + Eeprom for HD

You’ll notice that you have two new options compared to the One-Click Install System.
Installing the Softmod for HD (High Definition) means that your Softmod will be set so
your Xbox is best displayed with a High Definition TV.

You only get the options to install EvolutionX or UnleashX in this section, but you can
easily go back to the Install Dashboards section and change it (to XBMC for
example).

One small rule, when installing a Softmod with Virtual C, don’t select a Softmod
Dashboard, because the Softmod tricks your Xbox into thinking that the C Drive is still
stock (unmodded), so in order to access the MS Dash properly you need to remember
this.

Dual Boot Softmod Options


Unlike the Single-Boot Softmod, the Dual-Boot offers much more flexibility.

The two options you have are:

 Hacked Dash / Softmod Menu


 Hacked Dash / MS Dash

You firstly have the option on how you want to control your Dual Boot. After selecting
this, you will proceed to the same options as the Single Boot.

Please note when you use the Hacked Dash / Softmod Menu option, when you boot
your Xbox in this state, any Virtual C Drive is turned OFF leaving it exposed. You may
not want to use this option if there’s a possibility that your Xbox can be used by
someone that could easily format it on you.

The Hacked Dash / MS Dash option allows you to use Xbox Live properly (only with
Original Games though). For this to work correctly, you must have you Xbox
unmodded to set up your Xbox Live Account. Once this is done, you can proceed to
apply the Softmod to your Xbox.

Unmounting the Virtual C Drive


This option comes in handy when you want to re-install your Xbox’s C Drive, but you
are currently using a Virtual C Drive. Not every Softmod has this feature, but at least
this way you are 100% sure that there isn’t one running in the background.

Removing the SID Softmod from your Xbox


This removal method is the same used in SID 5, so in order for this to work correctly
you must make sure you have a proper backup of the MS Dash on E Drive. If you don’t
have this, Auto-Installer Deluxe can easily do this for you; just remember to do so
before using the removal tool.

Chapter 12: The Advanced Options / Tools Section

Installing AID 4.52 to HDD


This option gives you the chance to install the entire AID 4.52 to your HDD in
E:\Apps\AID3, F:\Apps\AID3, or G:\Apps\AID4.

Please note just copying the DVD to your HDD will not work due to the way the Auto-
Installer script has been written, hence you need to actually install it through here.

Installing Phoenix BIOS Loader (PBL)


What this does is boot a BIOS file from your Hard Drive, instead of completely using
the BIOS on a Modchip. This is good if you have an outdated BIOS that doesn’t have
the greatest support for IGR (In-Game Reset) like mine does.

The BIOS included in this package is the EvoX M8+, and I’ve pre-configured it so it has
the Eject Fix and LBA48 (larger hard drives over 120 gigabytes) support.

I’ve made several versions that will allow the Xbox to boot different drives. So,
basically the BIOS will boot the first drive (being the first letter after EvoX M8+), then
if it doesn’t find nothing there it will check E, then check F.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 22 of 59

The BIOS searches for an evoxdash.xbe file, so if your dashboard isn’t called this, you
will have to change it. Here’s a list of the BIOSes that are included:

EvoX M8+ C, E, G
EvoX M8+ C, F, G
EvoX M8+ E, F, G
EvoX M8+ F, E, C
EvoX M8+ G, F, E

There’s also a dual-boot option which will allow you to use a second BIOS when you
have your DVD tray open. I have set this to be a Debug (development) BIOS, as I feel
it could be handy to a few people.

Even though I have included the Debug BIOS, you will still need to obtain the Xbox
Development Kit (XDK) to finalize the installation of your debug setup. More
information given in Appendix F on how to set this up. If you wish to use the Debug
BIOS as your main, just simply rename xboxrom.bin to xboxrom3.bin (just
temporarily), rename xboxrom2.bin to xboxrom.bin, and then rename xboxrom3.bin
to xboxrom2.bin. Next time you boot, the debug will be default.

Installing SID 5 to HDD or Memory Card


This option can be used either to set up an Xbox HDD for an unmodded Xbox, or to
install it directly to your memory card or USB device (such as a Mega X-Key).

The Gameshark version is included in the package; however it’s not on the installer.

BIOS Checker
This tool can be used to check what BIOS is running from either your Modchip or
TSOP. It can report back on the size of the chip, the bios, and what kind of chip it is
(not the Modchip brand like Xecuter etc, the actual brand of the flashable chip).

The data that the MD5 check uses is the same as what’s in EvoX and Media X Menu for
this release, and up to date including the X2 5032 BIOS.

BIOS Flasher
This is an option which will boot to the EvoX system, in order for you to flash a TSOP
or BIOS. PLEASE ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

Chimp
This is a Linux tool that allows you to upgrade your Xbox HD in place by hotplug a
second HD after you have booted Xbox.

ConfigMagic
This tool is used to backup and restore your Xbox’s Eeprom, and can also be used to
view information such as your Xbox Region, HDD Key / Brand, DVD Drive information
etc. It’s mainly used for changing Eeproms if you've been banned from Xbox Live. It
will pull your Eeprom from your Xbox, or another Xbox, so that you can transfer it to
another Xbox.

There is a SWF tutorial included in the AID 4 package which shows you how to use it in
order to change Eeproms.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 23 of 59

Enigmah NTSC-PAL Video Switcher


This program can be used to change the Video Setting on your Xbox to either PAL or
NTSC. This does not damage your Eeprom or anything and is completely safe to use.

Some good examples on when this should be used are when you’re playing a game
from a different region (for example, PAL users wanting to play a NTSC game).
However, this is not needed to view different region DVDs, as the DVD players have
built in multi-region capabilities.

Xbpartitioner
This program can be used to repartition your Xbox. There is documentation included in
the package on how to use it (you can find this in Docs\Applications), but honestly
should only be used at a last resort I feel, as normal formatting and partitioning are
fine for most users.

XSelect
This program is great for people that would like to launch a particular application,
emulator, dashboard etc. on startup of their Xbox. Even though XSelect does take a
little bit of configuring before you have it set the way you want, it’s not too
complicated and be done quite quickly.

One small tip though, when setting the search parameters to look for files, make sure
you clear the existing list and make it only search for *.xbe files, otherwise you’ll end
up with hundreds of possibilities.

The best way to install this is to put it on the drive which is first booted by your BIOS
(usually C, but sometimes it can be F). If you need to install a dashboard to the same
drive as well, do that first. Then, rename the evoxdash.xbe file to something like
evoxdash2.xbe, so that you can install XSelect without any problems. The good thing
about XSelect is it will boot any file you want; all you have to do is set up a button to
launch it.

Appendix A: Xbox Error Codes


Error Cause Description

01 Bootloader Motherboard Error

02 Bootloader Eeprom Check Failed

When you see this error most of the times you have flashed
something wrong. Or you dropped solder on your eeprom chips.

03 Bootloader Unknown

RAM Check Failed


04 Bootloader
Your Xbox ram chips are possibly damaged.

Maybe you dropped a little solder on it (try to remove it


CAREFULLY!). Note, if they are fried, removing solder won't fix
them). Maybe you were static when you touched the ram chips.
They are kind off sensitive. If they are, they are fried, sell your
Xbox for spare parts.

HDD not locked (retail BIOSes require the HDD to be locked)


05 Kernel
When you upgrade your hard disk drive for one that is larger,
you most of the times use a new hard drive that you bought in
the shop. Now, when you put this HDD in your Xbox and you try
to boot up with your chip off. It gives you error 5.

The original (also called "Retail") hard drive is locked by MS.

This locking process uses information thats on the motherboard.


The "Lock" on a Xbox hard drive contains information that is
based on the hard drive itself and the motherboard it came with

One thing that makes this clear: You can not change a retail har
drive with another one from an other not modded Xbox. With
every Xbox there is only ONE compatible hard disk drive. That is
if they are locked.

If you don't mod your Xbox (TSOP or modchips) you can not
change hard drives. Not even from another Xbox. However when
your Xbox IS modified you can change your hard disk for almost
every other hard disk (thats UNLOCKED). This means that even
when your Xbox is modified, you can not just put another (retail
Xbox hard disk in your Xbox. However some smart people made
programs that can lock or unlock your Xbox hard disk on the fly.

So when does the error occur? The only time this error should
occur is when you boot up your Xbox in original mode AND you
have a hard disk in your Xbox that is not yet locked. So now you
ask what do i have to do to make your Xbox work again?

Boot up your Xbox with the chip on. Preferably with AID /
XBMCID. Lock your Xbox using ConfigMagic. Disable your chip
and try to boot in original mode. Now there should be no more
error 5.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 25 of 59

Cannot unlock HDD


Kernel
06
If you understand the above, you should be able to understand
what this means. It means you are trying to boot up the Xbox
with a hard disk that is locked in combination with ANOTHER
motherboard than you are using it with right now.

What can I do about it, you ask? Well place the hard disk back in
the xbox where it came from. After that, UNLOCK the hard disk
with the same procedure explained above (see error 5). Now
when the hard disk is UNLOCKED, put it in the Xbox which gave
you the error. Now when you boot up with the chip ON it should
not give you an error anymore.
However when you put the Xbox on with the chip OFF your Xbox
Kernel will give you an error. (error 5) So to make sure you can boot
06
(continued) original and boot with the chip ON. Next do the same as above:
"Boot up your Xbox with the chip on. Preferably with AID /
XBMCID. Lock your Xbox using ConfigMagic. Disable your chip
and try to boot original. Now there should be no more error.

07 Kernel HDD Timeout

Most of the times, the IDE cable is not properly connected when
you see this error. Please reattach the IDE cable. Not only to the
hard disk drive but also to the DVD drive. Also try to reconnect
the IDE cable to the motherboard.

Press pretty hard so it goes all the way in. Make sure it is seated
straight and proper in the drives and the motherboard. If you st
have an error 7. Try another IDE cable. If that won't work try
another hard disk. If there is still no go, try to set the jumpers o
the rear side of the hard disk drive. Set it to master or cable
select. If still no success, good luck.

08 Kernel HDD not found

Please make sure your Xbox hard drive is attached properly.


Most of the times the IDE cable came loose, or isn't seated
properly in the IDE port of your hard disk. Also make sure the
power supply cables are intact and working.

Make sure the IDE cable is also connected properly to the rest of
the hardware (DVD and motherboard).

09 Kernel HDD parameters (PIO/DMA/or size {debug}, certain size


minimum is required for debug)

Not very common error, please try another hard disk.

10 Kernel DVD drive timeout

Actually its almost the same as error 6/7/8. But also make sure
the yellow cables are properly connected to the motherboard an
the dvd drive.

1. Make sure IDE cables are connected well.


2. Make sure the yellow cables are good and properly connected
3. Still no success? Try another DVD drive of which you are sure
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 26 of 59

it is working.

11 Kernel DVD not found


Same as Error 10.

12 Kernel DVD parameters (PIO/DMA)


Same as Error 10, only not as common.

Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else


13 that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't
Kernel
specify why it failed

The error it gives is because of the incompatibility between the


(older) dashboard (4920) that older Slayer CD installs and the
new dashboard/kernel versions found in some new Xbox's and
found in Xbox's that have been connected to Xbox live (when yo
go on Xbox live, it'll upgrade your dashboard file to i believe it is
now 5659.03 (the same version as Auto-Installer Deluxe and
XBMC Installer Deluxe). This dashboard is incompatible with the
dash that (old) slayer CD installs (for example 2.5 or lower) for
you.

(In Detail, in the eeprom chip there is a kernel which is


incompatible with the dashboard (4920) that slayer installs.)

So what do you do to fix it? You can use the dashupdate found
13 on most new Xbox games! Be sure to 1st unplug your Ethernet
Kernel
cable before you do so!!!
(continued)
Besides that, just use AID or XBMCID and all wil be fine.

14 Dashboard Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)

Same thing as above (error 13). This time it is also a little


mistake from you on changing names or having played around
with files on the Xbox hard disk. Error 14 is most often because
you changed boot orders or names of startup files on the hard
disk. It can also happen when you are rebuilding your Xbox hard
disk with a installer CD and the power was cut.

15 Kernel Unknown

16 Dashboard Other files to do with dashboard / dashboard settings (specific


dashboard error)

Basically it comes down to this. Error 16 has to do with not


finding the menu setting with which you can set the clock of the
HDD. This happens to a lot of people that erase their HDD
(original/upgraded) or MS dashboard files and after that they
don't immediately install the HDD but leave the Xbox without
power longer than 5 hours.

It's all about the HDD can't find the menu with which it can set
the clock. This is mostly because thX xbox HDD is empty (you
removed dashboard or messed it up via FTP). The problem arise
when Xbox searches for menu to set clock with, can't find it and
voila: error 16. Well read on please!
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 27 of 59

So you have an error 16 huh? Don't worry "nothing" is broken!

You have an Xbox HDD that is locked. And normally you can boo
in original and modded mode. Retail or upgraded doesn't matter
You start playing around with xboxdash.xbe etc. using ftp
programs. While doing this you "accidently" remove your MS
dashboard and also your alternate dashboard (Evox, etc.) so
there is no dash anymore on the xbox hdd.

You end the ftp session and after that you shut off your Xbox.
Normally when you would start up again it gives you an error
13/14 ( no dashboard found). No worries with a installer CD (an
a hardmod), all is ok. BUT this is only WITHIN 3 hours or so.

This is because the internal clock of the Xbox will only be kept
alive by the capacitors for only 3 or 4 hours. So when you leave
your Xbox unplugged from electricity for over 5 hours after you
have played with the .xbe's AND you have removed your (ms
and evo-x) dash from your Xbox than you are fux0red. Why do
you ask?

Why can't I boot from disc?

Its as follows Xbox starts booting==> (almost 1st thing a Xbox


does is) searches for internal clock==> doesnt find internal cloc
because there hasn't been any electricity on the Xbox for 5 hour
so battery that kept clock alive is empty and clock is gone==>
searches for the proper dashboard menu to set clock with ==>
doesnt find MS dashboard or evo-x dashboard menu because yo
have removed it from the HDD for whatever reasons you
had==> xbox gives error 16: cannot set clock.

So what do you do about it? Two options!

1. There are some bios'es around that allow the chip to boot pas
the clocksetting. (do a search!). So how do you get that bios on
your chip because you cant boot to a flash program or
something? Well you need to have an external flasher.
16 Dashboard
(continued) It seems the m8 bios will take care for you of booting past the
clocksetting. Or use the latest Xecutor bios

2. This is the more easy and newbie friendly strategy


-Get a friend with a modded Xbox.
-Unlock his HDD with eeprom management from AID or XBMCID
-Than, place his HDD in your Xbox.
-Boot with your chip on.
-Now the Xbox DOES find a dashboard when you boot in origina
mode and you can set the time in the MS dashboard clock
settings.
-Shut off Xbox and remove your friends HDD
-PLace his HDD back in his Xbox and lock it again
-Install your HDD
-(clock has been set) So boot up with AID / XBMCID.
-Install normally whatever you wanna install
-lock HDD

If you get an error 13 after this, please read up on the error 13

explanation!

17 Kernel Unknown

18 Kernel Unknown

19 Kernel Unknown

20 Kernel The Dashboard has attempted to load and failed

It was a cold boot, and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed
but it (for some reason) needed to be noted that the DVD passe
the challenge/response authentication

This error says that the machine was booted to display a error,
21 Anywhere
basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe)
with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted
by the flag.

This occurs frequently when the Xbox is unable to boot due to


dashboard changes being made (ie Gcue true blue hasnt been
resigned, parts of the stock dash are missing - incomplete FTP
backups copied to a new HDD for example).

Appendix F: Setting up your Debug Xbox


Firstly you need to obtain a copy of the Xbox Development Kit (XDK). It is available on
most of the P2P (Peer-to-Peer) file sharing networks so it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
The version you want to get is either XBOX SDK 5849 December 2003-COMPLEX
or XBOX.XDK.5933.UNOFFICIAL-WAM. Also, please don’t ask any of us for it as we
will simply ignore you. Not meaning to be harsh or rude by doing this, but I had to get
the XDK the hard way (very hard way, on a 56k modem) so it won’t hurt the rest of
you to get it yourselves. Also, it’s over 700mb so there’s no way I could email it to
anyone.

Once you’ve obtained this, install the XDK setup file XDKSetup5xxx.exe. This will put
all the necessary files on your PC. Now, extract XDKRecovery5xxx.exe using
WinRAR (Do not try to install this). You’ll need to copy these files to your Xbox; the
table below shows what files you need.

Source (PC) Destination (Xbox) Files to copy / Notes


\XDASH \C\ xshell.xbe only
\XDASH\data \C\data All files, recursive
\XDASH\images \C\images All files, recursive
\XDASH\media \C\media All files, recursive
\XDASH\sounds \C\sounds All files, recursive
\XDKSAMPLES \C\XDKSAMPLES All files, recursive
\XBOX \E\ dashboard.xbx and xbdm.d
\DEVKIT \E\DEVKIT All files, recursive
\TDATA \E\TDATA All files, recursive

Now, you have to create a file called xbdm.ini, and place it in \E\DEVKIT.

Edit xbdm.ini like this:

[xbdm]
dbgname name=XXXX
staticip addr=EEDDCCBBAA
memtrack flags=0x0 stackdepth=0x0

XXX is the name you want to give to your Xbox (i.e.: Xbox) and EEDDCCBBAA is the
static IP address you want.

Be careful don't write your IP as usual, you must type it in hexadecimal, and from
right to left. For example, instead of typing 192.168.0.82 you have to write 5200A8C0
(it works by pair 192 is equal to C0 in hexadecimal etc.... look at the colours). The
easiest way to convert Decimal values in hexadecimal is to use the calculator in
windows, using scientific mode. To access this, open up the calculator and select View
-> Scientific.

Next, you have to have to edit the file dashboard.xbx located on your Xbox’s E Drive
(or in \XBOX on your PC).

Firstly, grab a Hex Editor (such as Hex Workshop) and open the file, the reason why
we are editing it with a hex editor is because it won’t work using Notepad or WordPad.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 40 of 59

You’ll see this line in the file: \Device\Harddisk0\Partition2;xshell.xbe

You have to edit this so it will boot a dashboard of your choice.

Firstly change the Partition number. The numbers are as follows: 2 boots C, 1 boots E,
6 boots F, and 7 boots G.

Secondly, edit the name of the file which will be booted (for example, change
xshell.xbe to evoxdash.xbe). If you still want to have the XDK Dashboard you can
easily just add a link in your dashboard to launch xshell.xbe from C Drive.

Here are some examples:

\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2;evoxdash.xbe - Boots evoxdash.xbe from C Drive


\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1;evoxdash.xbe - Boots evoxdash.xbe from E Drive
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6;evoxdash.xbe - Boots evoxdash.xbe from F Drive
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition7;evoxdash.xbe - Boots evoxdash.xbe from G Drive

That’s the hardest part done…

Once that is all done, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Xbox SDK\Xbox\bin on


your PC and install the 2 following programs (Note: you will need Administrator’s
Privileges to install these)

netsimsetup.exe
XBSESetup.exe

Once you’ve installed these programs, you should see this icon on your desktop:

When this appears, double-click on it and it will take you to your Xbox
Neighborhood.

The first thing to do is to set it up with your Xbox, which can easily be
done by selecting Add Xbox. Type in your IP Address for your Xbox
when prompted, and when it asks is this the default Xbox, say Yes.

In order to get the Xbox to boot in Debug mode, you need to use the Phoenix BIOS
Loader. I have already included a debug bios as the 2nd booting BIOS, so to start your
Xbox in Debug mode, turn your Xbox on (with the modchip on of course), then as soon
as you see something on your Monitor / TV, open your DVD Drive Tray, this will tell
PBL that you want to use the 2nd BIOS, which is of course the Debug BIOS.

Once you have this installed, there are so many more capabilities of your Xbox. Here
are 3 of the most common uses:

Developing your own Xbox software and being able to use full remote debugging
facilities
Screen grabbing and movie grabbing
Reverse engineering software (for making game trainers, etc)

So in general, normal gamers will not have to worry about using this, as it’s only for
developers and advanced enthusiasts.

Special thanks to Pirrup for these tutorials.

Hard Drive Upgrade using a Modchipped Xbox


Hardware Needed:

- Hex Screwdriver Set


- Computer
- A modded Xbox (chip)
- A softmodded Xbox with retail disk.
- A bigger HDD

Software Needed:

- FTP software (FlashFXP)


- EvoX dash (to make eeprom backup, install it on both Xboxes)
- Xbox-HQ Auto Installer Deluxe Boot Disk.
- Config magic (install it on chipped and softmodded Xbox)

Steps:

1. Use EvoX to make an eeprom backup from your chipped Xbox and the softmodded
Xbox (you can install EvoX as a dashboard)

2. FTP the backup Eeproms to your PC, also transfer your C and E drive (softmodded
Xbox) to your pc.

3. Put the big HDD you need to prepare in your chipped Xbox.

4. Run Xbox-Hq Auto Installer Deluxe Boot Disk and make the big HD ready. (Don’t
forget to install Config magic on this HDD)

5. Open the Config magic folder and delete the contents in the data folder and transfer
your backup of the C and E drive to the data folder.

6. Update your chipped Xbox eeprom from the bin file. (Eeprom backup from
softmodded Xbox).

7. Reboot the Xbox and open Config magic and lock the HDD. (Now it's locked with the
eeprom from the softmodded Xbox)

8. Turn off Xbox and remove the big HDD out the chipped Xbox.

9. Put it in the softmodded Xbox

Now, the HDD will work in the softmodded Xbox.

*** Optional if you play on live with your chipped Xbox ***

10. Run Config magic again on the chipped box and update eeprom. (This time with
the eeprom backup from chipped Xbox). This will restore your chipped Xbox eeprom
back to original.
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 42 of 59

Hard Drive Upgrade using a PC


Hardware Needed:

- A PC, a blank CD-R/W and a CD Burner


- Torx 10 + Torx 20 Screwdrivers (to open your Xbox)
- A Large HDD

Software Needed:

- XboxHDM 1.9
- FTP Program (FlashFXP)
- EvoX dash (can be installed as an app)
- DVD Decrypter

Steps:

1. First make a backup from your retail disk (C, E drive and your eeprom), you can use
EvoX to backup eeprom (eeprom backup can be found on E).

2. FTP your backup data to your PC using a FTP program.

3. Unpack XboxHDM onto your pc

4. Put the eeprom backup in the xboxhdm\linux\eeprom folder, put C and E folder into
the xboxhdm\linux folder and overwrite the ones already there.

5. In the root of xboxhdm is a file named 'make-iso-win', run this file and wait for it to
finish.

6. It will make an .iso file. (You can burn this file with DVD Decrypter)

7. Take out all your hard disks in your PC and put the new hard disk (for the Xbox),
make sure its primary master and first boot is CD-ROM.

8. Put the disk you made in the CD-ROM drive and boot your PC.

9. You will get a menu, now choose Option 1 (by typing “1”) and press enter to boot
VGA console with Xbox-drive utilities (default). Type “xboxhd” when it asks you for a
login. Another list of options will show up, choose option 1 again (the one that says
“Build a new Xbox HD from scratch”) and it will begin to format and write the partition
table etc. If you put your C:\ and E:\ onto the CD then when it asks you about them
type yes and when it asks you if you would like an F select yes.

10. Reboot your PC (we are almost done)

11. Now for locking the hard drive. This time type “3” and hit enter to boot Linux with
locking/unlocking utilities. Next, type in “lockhd –a”. It will now search for the eeprom
on the CD and will automatically lock the hard drive. Now turn off the PC and take out
the hard drive when it has finished locking. Put the disk in your softmodded Xbox.

You just upgraded your hard drive and can be used in your softmodded Xbox.

Appendix I: Modifying the AID ISO with Addon Packs


What you need:

WinZip
WinRAR

Making Addon packs for AID 4 might be a little complicated at first, but after making a
few you will see that it’s not really that difficult. I’m going to explain how to make 3 of
the most common Addon Packs that the AID ISO Updater can integrate into the
original ISO (or of course to update your existing one).

Creating Addon Packs


Before I go any further, take a minute to look over Appendix E if you haven’t already,
this shows the ISO structure, and where the files are located.

For example, let’s say we want to make an Addon Pack with a new version of XBMC.

1. Firstly, create a work folder, let’s call it C:\Work\


2. Make two folders in here called Config and Files (Since XBMC requires Config
files we’ll make that folder too).
3. Grab the latest XBMC, and extract it so you have all the files
4. Make sure the folder containing all the files is called XBMC, then .zip that folder.

Example:

\XBMC\ - you need to .zip it at this level.


\XBMC\default.xbe
\XBMC\....rest of the files

5. Go to the Files folder you created, and create a folder called Dash inside that.
Now place that xbmc.zip file you just created in there. MAKE SURE IT’S NAMED
xbmc.zip (or whatever the original filename was) OR YOU WILL HAVE
PROBLEMS WITH AID USING IT PROPERLY.

At this time if you’re only updating an Application you’re done, proceed down to
Step 9.

6. Go back to your extracted XBMC, and .zip the Userdata folder. This will be
your Config .zip file.
7. Go to your created Config folder, and make three folders: Apps, Dash, and
Softmod. You will also need to create a folder called XBMC inside those three
new folders too.
8. Grab your created Config file, and place it in one of the XBMC folders. Rename
it to e.zip, then copy it twice and rename to f.zip and g.zip so that the new
Config files will work for all settings. Once you have all those three files,
continue to copy them into the other folders (Apps, Dash, and Softmod).
9. Go back to the C:\Work\ directory where you see both the Files and Config
folder, Select both and then right-click to select WinRAR to compress. This way
you’re keeping the original structure as the ISO, and it will integrate perfectly.
10. All Done 
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 49 of 59

Creating Skin Packs


To try and make this a bit simpler to understand, I’ve given you the Path for where the
Skins go for the Dashboard. You need to create the same folder structure when
creating your Skin Packs.

The instructions are all the same, except for XBMC which will be explained in it’s
section.

1. Once you have all the skins you want, then make a .zip file of the root folder of
that path (ie: AnodXData, Media, Skin).
2. Create a work folder (C:\Work), and create a subfolder called Files, then a
folder called Skins inside the Files folder, put the created .zip file in there.
3. Go back to the C:\Work\ directory where you see the Files folder, right-click to
select WinRAR to compress. This way you’re keeping the original structure as
the ISO, and it will integrate perfectly.

Anod-X Path: \AnodXData\Skins\


Avalaunch Path: \Media\Skins\
EvolutionX Path: \Skin\
UnleashX Path: \Skins\
XBMC Path: \Skin\ (SkinPacks however are made from the Root Directory)

4. Create a work folder to put your Skin folder in, then put your skins inside that.
Navigate back to the folder where you made the Skin folder, and .zip it there.
5. Create a work folder (C:\Work), and create a subfolder called Files, then a
folder called Skins inside the Files folder, put the created .zip file in there.
6. Go back to the C:\Work\ directory where you see the Files folder, right-click to
select WinRAR to compress. This way you’re keeping the original structure as
the ISO, and it will integrate perfectly.

Creating Romsets
This is probably the easiest Addon pack to make.

Firstly, look at Appendix J to show the systems / consoles that you can make
Romsets for, and take note of the second column (the Romset Filename).

1. Grab all your ROMs and put them in a folder.


2. Go inside the folder where the ROMs are, and make a .zip file of that folder
(unlike the Addon Packs we don’t want any file structure).
3. Once you have your .zip file, create a new folder called Files, then a folder
called Roms inside that. Put the newly created .zip file in there.
4. Go back a couple of folders so you can see the Files folder you created, right-
click and compress with WinRAR.
5. All Done 
Auto-Installer Deluxe v4.52 Official Users Manual Page 50 of 59

Appendix J: Using the right ROMs for the right Emulators


Below is a list I have put together which shows what system / console can be
emulated by each particular emulator in this package.

The first column in this chart shows the System or Console that is emulated.

The second column shows the Romset name for this System or Console. You can find
this file at \Files\Roms\ on the ISO.

The third column shows the Emulator used to run the Romsets.

Appendix K: Using USB Devices for SID

The USB -> Xbox Cable


It’s a known fact that the Xbox console uses USB to connect its controllers, however
with their fancy adapter that inserts into the Xbox it makes it hard to use a normal
USB Device.

You can purchase this cable pre-made from the following stores:
Llama's Adventures (US Store) - Electric Quarter (US Store) - Midwest-Games (US
Store)

Alternatively, you get this cable when you purchase the Mega X-Key.

For those of you that wish to build their own cable, below you can see a wiring
diagram.

Preparing the USB Device to use with Action Replay


There are a few steps required here, but once it is all done your USB device will always
be recognized as an Xbox Action Replay device. This was tested using a Xbox 1.6 and
PC running Windows XP Professional.

• Plug your USB Device into the PC and let it be recognized.


• Right-Click on My Computer, and select Properties.
• Navigate to the Hardware tab and select Device Manager.

Now, this is where the fun starts…

• This screenshot shows the Device


Manager, what we are looking for is the
USB Mass Storage Device which you just
plugged in to the PC (the line highted in
Red in the screenshot). Double-click on it.

• Navigate to the Details tab where you will find the VID and PID for your USB
device. You will need to take note of these for later. The screenshot below shows you
where you can find them: So in this example, the VID is 0781 and the PID is 5151.

• The next thing you need to do is edit the xbreader.inf file (the Action Replay Drive
rwhich can be found in the folder called Drivers where Action Replay is installed. I
suggest making a copy of this folder and editing it rather than editing the original.

Open the xbreader.inf file with Notepad, and look for this section of code:

[_Devices]
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_DBAE
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_0316
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0280
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0381
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0738&PID_4507
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_040B&PID_6520
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05E3&PID_8001
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_9011&REV_0100
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_9001&REV_0100

You need to add a line to this section with the VID and PID you collected earlier. For
example, this is what I used for my Sandisk 256mb Cruzer Micro:

[_Devices]
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0781&PID_5151
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_DBAE
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_0316
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0280
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_045E&PID_0381
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_0738&PID_4507
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_040B&PID_6520
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05E3&PID_8001
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_9011&REV_0100
%S_DeviceDesc1%=_Install1, USB\VID_05FD&PID_9001&REV_0100

• Navigate to the Driver tab on the window where you got your PID/VID information,
and select Update Driver.

• This takes you to the Hardware Update Wizard, where you load your modified Action
Replay Driver into Windows. Use these options in this order to install the Driver to your
PC.

- Do not connect to Windows Update to search for software, Press Next.


- Install the driver from a specific location, Press Next.
- Don’t search, choose a driver to install, Press Next.
- Press the Have Disk button
- Press Browse to the location where your modified Driver is. Then Press OK.
- Select the MaxDrive Xbox Driver, Press Next.

The driver should now install itself to Windows.

Once the installation is successful, remove the USB Device.

On the next page are some screenshots of this process.
