Note this requires a modified Original Xbox or homebrew enabled Xbox360. All games will install on Xbox 360 with the newest installer though some will not run. The xISO version works in Xemu!
If an installer does not work in your softmod, update to Rocky5's v1.1.9 Softmodding Tool. If any specific installer still does not work, download a different one.
Use the V2 installer files for installing these games on a stock console.
This is a complete pack of all the arcade games released for the original Xbox. Both xISO and standalone installers options are available for download.. The arcade on the Xbox originally came with the Xbox Live starter kits, standalone Xbox Live Arcade discs, bundled with some games and on various demo discs such as some OXM discs.
With these downloads you can install all 27 Xbox Live Arcade Game demos, unlock the full versions, and play the Xbox Live Arcade on your Xbox. You do not need an Xbox Live account to do this, all games included work offline.
This will take up over 35 000 blocks of space (about 550mb) on your E drive.

New installers uploaded! October 18, 2022
The newest and hopefully final version of the installer does away with CDX and menus entirely. Just unpack the xISO, burn it to a disc and stick it your Xbox or XEmu. Or download the standalone installer, unpack it, FTP it to your Xbox and run.
No selecting more clunky installer, selecting which keys or games to install. You can select which games to skip installing by deleting the game and associated key from the Games folder prior to running the installer. The first time you run the Xbox Live Arcade Installer it will take a long time to load, between 1 and 5 minutes depending the hard drive or solid state drive installed in your console. The Microsoft Game Studios logo animation may also be laggy on systems with an SSD installed. This is due to the menu starting the game install before the animation finishes. After all games are installed delete the Games folder from inside the installer to save space.

Alien Sky - 1587+4 blocks

Xbox Live Arcade Installer v2 package is here!
Download the Xbox Live Arcade Installer v2 package
This works like any other DLC installer package from the main DLC installers thread.
- a readme file with some helpful information is now included
- XBLA launcher crashing back to your dashboard instead of loading should be fixed now
- key installs added to game demo installs to save time
- trying to install a demo when that demo is already installed (greyed out in menu) will only install the key
- new "Fast Mode" to install all games without browsing the menus, requires 52 A or Start button presses to complete
- smaller download because it's not an xISO
- I built this in 2011 (without Fast Mode) and thought I released it, but I didn't. SORRY!
How to install if from the xISO:
1) Download the old Offline Xbox Live Arcade Installers
2) Either burn to a DVD-R or DVD-RW (Most Xbox's can't read CD-R's) or Extract the iso with Qwix and FTP it to a location on your Xbox where it can be launched from your dashboard.
(Usually E:\Games or F:\Games)
Always set your FTP application to binary transfer mode, as ascii transfer can destroy the content or executables making the content causing you to get errors.
Extra info: How to Burn and ISO with ImgBurn
3) Launch the arcade installer and select "Launch Arcade" then exit back to the installer
4) Now find a game you want and install the demo, after you have install the key for the game
5) The key unlocks the full game, it will still say its a free demo on the games picture but as you will find out the game will be the full game
6) Launch the arcade again and enjoy the games
7) Enjoy
