if this doesn't work, put the launch.ini and aurora folder on the hard drive, unplug the flash drive, then reboot the system.

how do I access the internal HD since it's only booting stock I can't get to xexmenu, right?

alright, did you unplug the flash drive and put the stuff on the external hdd?

fresh copy of aurora, launch.ini - on external hard drive - booting rgh gets to white screen and freezes.

show a screenshot of your aurora directory listing on the usb drive.

try this. this is my launch.ini reflecting your Aurora folder. it has many of the best options, so you might like it.

 

[godreborn]

if that doesn't work, I'll give you one with no plugins listed. I don't know if that could affect it working or not.

sorry had to travel for work unexpectedly. Put this zip in the root of my USB drive, correct?

 

[godreborn]

unzip the zip file, and place it on the external hdd, yes.

Extracting the zip, placing the launch.ini on the root of the external hard drive and powering on the RGH - freezes at the XBOX 360 image

is the Aroma xex file in usb/Aroma/Aroma.xex ?

Yes - the 1TB Volume is the USB

 

[godreborn]

if you have more than one usb hdd plugged in, remove it, and leave only the one with Aurora.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

there is only internal HD and the USB hard drive plugged in

 

[godreborn]

Fakeanim = Usb:\fakeanim\fakeanim.xex

delete that location in the launch.ini so that it says Fakeanim =

I deleted the fakeanim...but looking at the ini file...it is showing
Default = Usb:\Freestyle Dash 2\default.xex

Do I need to change that since we are trying to boot aurora?

I think you're using the wrong launch.ini

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

i opened the wrong the one to modify. You are correct. This is the one I have on my external drive.

But it is still freezing on the xbox 360 boot animation

then, I do not know what's wrong. something appears to be corrupted in the flash. I'd say reflash it with a backup or something, don't include dashlaunch, then install dashlaunch through xex menu.
