Chapter 3: Preparing the AID 3.0 disc on your PC
Extracting the AID 3.0 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 xbhqaid3.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.v3.0.Xbox-Hq.
A screenshot below shows the contents of the archive.
Using the AID 3.0 ISO Updater Program
Now, before you burn the ISO you may want to add some additional extras to Auto-Installer Deluxe 3, 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 3 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.
The AID 3.0 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.
AID3.Dummyfile.xxx:
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.
AID3.Addon.BIOS.Pack.v1.00:
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.
AID3.Addon.DHCP.Patch.v1.00:
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.
AID3.Addon.Soundtrack.AIDx:
This addon pack will include some background music whilst you are using the AID 3 installer. Soundtrack.AID2 is the soundtrack from the previous installer.
AID3.Addon.XBMC.Scripts.v1.00:
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.
AID3.SkinPack.AnodX.v1.00:
This addon pack includes more skins for the AnodX dashboard. The default skin is not included in this pack.
AID3.SkinPack.Avalaunch.v1.00:
This addon pack includes more skins for the AvaLaunch dashboard. The default skin is not included in this pack.
AID3.SkinPack.EvoX.v1.00:
This addon pack includes more skins for the EvolutionX dashboard. The default skin is not included in this pack.
AID3.SkinPack.UnleashX.v1.00:
This addon pack includes more skins for the UnleashX dashboard. The default skin is not included in this pack.
AID3.SkinPack.XBMC.v1.00:
This addon pack includes more skins for Xbox Media Center. The default skin is not included in this pack.
PLEASE NOTE: People that have the AID 2 Rom Addon packs will be happy to know they are still compatible with the AID 3 system. Please note however is there is an older version of the Emulator with the AID 2 Rom Addon Pack, that will overwrite the newer version included with AID 3.
