Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome to Auto-Installer Deluxe 4.30, 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 Its 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!! The Auto-Installer Deluxe Team

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 dont 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.

Chapter 3: Preparing the AID 4.30 disc on your PC
Extracting the AID 4.30 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, rightclick on the xbhqaid4.rar file, and use your program of choice (whether it be 7-Zip or WinRar) to extract the archive. When its extracted, you will see a folder called Auto.Installer.Deluxe.v4.0.X box-Hq. A screenshot below shows the contents of the archive.

Page 7 of 51

Using the AID ISO Updater Program
Now, before you burn the ISO you may want to add some additional extras to AutoInstaller 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 the add-on packs it supports.

Page 8 of 51

The AID 4.30 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 werent 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.

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.

Chapter 5: The Main menu for AID 4.30
Heres 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 Xboxs 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).

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. Heres the locations of where the backups are put on your HDD, they are on G Drive in the example: G:\Backup\C\ G:\Backup\E\ G:\Backup\F\ G:\Backup\G\ G:\Backup\Cache\ G:\Backup\Gamesaves\ C Drive Backup E Drive Backup F Drive Backup G Drive Backup Cache Backup (X, Y, and Z Drives) Gamesaves Backup

Format / Prepare your Hard Drive
If you have a virgin HDD (meaning youve just bought it and its not formatted), AutoInstaller 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 youve 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 arguments sake lets say they are on D Drive) it would be wiser to use the File Manager and delete files and folders you dont 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.

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 Install Install Install Install Install Anod-X Dashboard Avalaunch Dashboard EvolutionX Dashboard UnleashX Dashboard XBMC Dashboard XSelect + UnleashX Dashboard
After youve selected what you want to install, the installer will go ahead and set it all up for you.

Page 14 of 51

Softmod Users
There are several options available here: Single Boot with no Virtual C This is only recommend for people who dont 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.

Page 15 of 51

Chapter 8: Installing Dashboards
Installing the Microsoft Dashboard

Unmounting the Virtual C Drive
This option comes in handy when you want to re-install your Xboxs 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 isnt 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 dont have this, Auto-Installer Deluxe can easily do this for you; just remember to do so before using the removal tool.

Page 21 of 51

Chapter 12: The Advanced Options / Tools Section
Installing AID 4.30 to HDD
This option gives you the chance to install the entire AID 4.30 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 AutoInstaller script has been written, hence you need to actually install it through here.
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 doesnt have the greatest support for IGR (In-Game Reset) like mine does. The BIOS included in this package is the EvoX M8+, and Ive pre-configured it so it has the Eject Fix and LBA48 (larger hard drives over 120 gigabytes) support. Ive 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 doesnt find nothing there it will check E, then check F.

Page 22 of 51

The BIOS searches for an evoxdash.xbe file, so if your dashboard isnt called this, you will have to change it. Heres a list of the BIOSes that are included: EvoX EvoX EvoX EvoX EvoX M8+ M8+ M8+ M8+ M8+ C, E, G C, F, G E, F, G F, E, C G, F, E
Theres 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.

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 youre 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.

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 shouldnt 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 dont 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 wont hurt the rest of you to get it yourselves. Also, its over 700mb so theres no way I could email it to anyone. Once youve 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). Youll need to copy these files to your Xbox; the table below shows what files you need. Source (PC)

Hotswap Tutorial - Recover a HDD without Eeprom Backup
Hardware Needed: - A PC (remove all HDD's), blank CD-R/W and A CD Burner - Torx 10 And Torx 20 Screwdrivers - To Open XBOX Software Needed: - XboxHDM 1.9 - DVDdecryptor (http://www.dvddecrypter.com) - C drive backup or latest MS dash IMPORTANT: Make sure the Xbox and PC are close to each other Steps: 1. If you got a backup of your C you don't need to download latest MS Dash, if you don't have a backup download MS Dash and keep it ready on your PC. 2. Unpack xboxhdm onto your PC. 3. Put the MS Dash in the C folder into the xboxhdm\linux folder and overwrite the ones already there. 4. In the root of xboxhdm is a file named 'make-iso-win', run this file and wait for it to finish. It will make an.iso file. 5. Burn this file with DVD Decrypter, and leave the CD in the PC. 6. Unplug the Xbox DVD-ROM IDE cable, take the power cable off the DVD-ROM. 7. Turn on the PC, Before the PC BIOS looks for Hard Drives, hit the Pause/Break key. It should pause at this time. 8. Turn on the Xbox. 9. It will boot to an error code (#11) regarding the DVD-ROM, but the Hard Drive will be unlocked, this way you'll get xboxhdm to access it on first attempt 10. Hit space bar to continue booting the PC. If it takes a long time to boot (several minutes), then the HD has not been unlocked. 11. 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. when it asks you about C type yes and when it asks you if you would like an F select yes. 12. Power down PC and Xbox. 13. Put the Hard Drive back in the Xbox and boot. PLEASE NOTE: If you get a message about a frozen drive, just disable auto detect for the drive (xboxhdm will detect the HDD even if it's disabled!)

Hardware Needed: 1. A Y power splitter (or use an external power source for the second HD, like another PC or external disk box etc.) 2. Torx 10, 15, 20 Screwdrivers to open Xbox and replace the HD Software Needed: 3. Chimp (installed as an app) Steps: 1. Open the box with the Torx 20 Screwdriver. 2. Use the Y splitter so both Hard Drives would have power when Xbox is on. 3. Loosen the DVD's IDE, but must still be bootable (it minimize the remove chance of IDE damaging as it is really not designed for hotplugging). 4. Boot Xbox. 5. Launch chimp. 6. Swap the IDE cable from DVD to the new HD. 7. Follow the menu (the first item must be run before others). Xbox 1.6 problems? If you have a 1.6 box and you can't see the Linux prog (graphics). In that case, you need to telnet into it, the menu will be same.
