Chapter 8: Installing the Softmod
Once you enter the Install Softmod option, the first thing you are given the choice of is which Softmod system to use, the NKpatcher system or the PBL system.
PBL (or Phoenix BIOS Loader) is an older style which uses modified BIOS files to boot your Xbox. Because it uses actual BIOS files, you can also run your Xbox in Debug mode.
NKPatcher uses a newer style which doesn’t use any raw BIOS files. It also has features such as Xbox Live Blocking.
Personally I use NKPatcher on softmodded Xboxes, however PBL is good for beginners.
Using NKPatcher
With NKPatcher you are given the two options of Single Boot and Dual Boot.
With the Single boot the installer asks for the location you want to load your dashboard from: C:\evoxdash.xbe, E:\evoxdash.xbe etc. You even have the option just to boot the MS Dash and make your Xbox look like it’s never been touched.
With the Dual Boot option it gets a little bit more complicated, firstly here’s a screenshot of the options (these are the same identical options as given in PBL):
You will notice two different boot types next to each other. The one on the left is for the Power button boot, and the right is for when you start your Xbox with the DVD Tray open.
If you wish to use a Hacked Dash in the Dual boot, you MUST also install the Hacked Dash Loader shown at the top of this menu here (selecting where you want to boot from as well ie: C:\evoxdash.xbe).
Using PBL
This is the first options you will see, to install the Loader, and then select the BIOS Files you want the Loader to boot. Please remember there are more BIOS files available on the Auto-Installer Deluxe 3 disc.
With the loader you are given the two options of Single Boot and Dual Boot.
With the Single boot the installer asks for the location you want to load your dashboard from: E:\evoxdash.xbe, F:\evoxdash.xbe etc. You even have the option just to boot the MS Dash and make your Xbox look like it’s never been touched.
With the Dual Boot option it gets a little bit more complicated, firstly here’s a screenshot of the options.
You will notice two different boot types next to each other. The one on the left is for the Power button boot, and the right is for when you start your Xbox with the DVD Tray open.
If you wish to use a Hacked Dash in the Dual boot, you MUST also install the Hacked Dash Loader shown at the top of this menu here (selecting where you want to boot from as well ie: E:\evoxdash.xbe).
PLEASE NOTE: PBL Users can only select to boot from E, F, and G. There is no C Drive support due to lack of space in the Gamesave.
