Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 7:37 pm Post subject: Is there another way to install AID 3?
Ok I already installed a softmod, Evox dashboard and I downloaded AID 3. I wanted to know if there was a way other than burning a dvd to install AID 3. I dont have a burner, I guess I could find one should need be. But is there any way I could install it through ftp or action replay or something like that.
thanks

No. It is designed that way so that you have to burn it to a disk, then you can install to hdd. _________________ Moddingbandit

It would be nice to know if there is another way. I've tried burning AID3 to three different brands of CD-R & two different brands of DVD-R, and the Samsung drive in my Crystal XBox refuses to read it. Alternatively, can the folders for the various programs & emulators be extracted from the AID3 ISO and just FTPed over to my box?

Yeah I just burned AID 3 to a sony dvd-r and my xbox wont recognize it. I put it in xiso format and everything it still dont work.

I would use the AID 3.0 Manual that came with it.
It tells ya how how to burn it with dvd decryptor which comes with aid 3.0 in the tools folder. _________________

Thanks for the tutorial j8994.
But I have now found a dvd burner I bought a 5 pack of Sony dvd-r's. Ive burned 2 cds already following all the instructions Ive found but niether of the worked.
For the first cd I downloaded an Xiso file maker given in a link in one of the tutorials and converted the whole AID3 rar package to an iso file and using nero 6 burned it to a dvd-r at 1x speed.
For the second cd I went into the first aid30.rar file opened it up, went to tools, and ran the AID iso updater program and followed the instructions. Then using nero 6 I burned it to another dvd-r at 1x speed.
Ive attached a picture of what the file on both my attempts has looked like.
So what am I doing wrong im going crazy working hours and hours on this thing Ive read so many guides and tutorials. Is there anyway I could just get a file that was already converted into iso and ready to burn or a straight up tuorial would be very helpful too, thanks.
p.s. I am using the 4.7gig sony dvd-r's, and from the compatability section they work with all drives. So I already believe thats not the problem
