ATV Flash includes everything right off the bat. No need to monkey around with Terminal.
Terminal =![]()
ATVFlash costs money (as does Patchstick.ca), ATVUSB-Creator does not. ATVUSB-Creator was made by the same developer who made the bootloader all Patchsticks (ATVFlash, Patchstick.ca, etc) use. ATVUSB-Creator is also blessed by all the ATV plugin dev's (XBMC, Boxee, nitoTV, CouchSurfer, Sapphire, ATVFiles, etc.) as well.
ATVUSB-Creator installs the Launcher for XBMC and Boxee as well as SoftwareMenu for the plugin's. And in it's Settings you can also toggle on/off the ATV Update Checker.
Creating the Patchstick (Mac & Win) is all done via a GUI and using the software is also via a GUI, no terminal required.
Word. No brainer.
