How To Play Games From External Hard Drive

[godreborn]

it should say it on screen. fatal crash intercepted is caused by dashlaunch's fatalfreeze or fatalreboot settings iirc. is that the dashlaunch you put on the system? it could have gotten corrupted. that's like the only possibility unless the hdd is failing. how did you get that aurora stuff over to the internal hdd? party buffalo?

FTP

put is on external, directly. something may have gotten truncated when you ftp'd.

yeah - i just did that. I put it on a USB drive, opened XEX Menu copied over the aurora dir to hdd1, it force rebooted and now i'm stuck at the xbox 360 screen with a white background

i'm almost at the point of saying F!*( this Aurora and Alliance BS that was loaded on the drive, and use MY drive that I know what is going on, and just use Party Buffalo (if it doesn't crash) to copy all the games/emulators from the internal to MY drive

The only thing that concerns me a little bit is what is on flash (I think that's what it is) - is that looking for something specific on this drive and i'll brick the damn thing if I do this

to hdd1? get a fresh copy of the sample launch.ini supplied with dashlaunch, copy the one you download to usb, then change the default path to usb:\Aurora\Aurora.xex . make sure the path looks like this.

Yea, are you sure the one on the internal hdd isn't the old Aurora? Regardless, i recommend putting it in a usb then copying it with XexMenu (or in Aurora).

how would I do that since the RGH won't boot anymore?

something is likely corrupted with your launch.ini, so put a fresh one on usb. it will override the one on the internal hdd.

oh nice! let me find a good copy of dashlaunch

redownload aurora from the link I provided, connect your usb drive to your computer, copy it over, then download dashlaunch, take its sample launch.ini, rename it to launch.ini, then under default, type the right path. for usb, it should be just usb, same with hdd, it should just be hdd even though for example it's called hdd1.

btw, you can hold the right bumper button right when the splash screen appears at boot to get into the stock dash and override the launch.ini, which I think is the problem.

Right bumper FTW!

Does the .inin file go in the root of the usb drive?

yes

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

My Launch.ini is set to this
Default = Usb1:\Aurora\Aurora.xex

The RGH hits the white splash screen and immediately boots into stock dash

 

[godreborn]

change Usb1 to Usb

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

change Usb1 to Usb

but it is usb1...
I've got an external hard drive connected that is usb0 and the flash drive i'm using that has aurora on it and the ini file is usb1

 

[godreborn]

I think it scans both usb devices for the launch.ini. no one is more important than the other.

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

changing it to usb it is back to sitting on the xbox splash screen

 

[godreborn]

I think something is corrupted with your aurora folder. did you download a fresh one, and put it on usb manually?

 

[MikeTheKnight2016]

i did - but def willing to do it again

standby

 

[godreborn]

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