With Project Stellar our goal is to make modding the Original Xbox as easy and feature-rich as possible. StellarOS will be bundling the Insignia Setup Assistant to make the process of getting back online as quick and easy as possible!

Setup assistant is now feature complete. We've added the option to view your HDD key, view credits and the build date; so it's easy to tell if you're using the latest version. If nothing unexpected comes up, setup assistant will release tomorrow.
