Welcome to Auto-Installer Deluxe 4.20, 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!!
