So would this be a good tutorial to follow: https://team-xecuter.com/forums/threads/90631-How-to-Install-Avatar-Kinect-Data-on-a-JTAG-RGH-Console Also, seems like I saw a thread on here about Downloading the update from an alternate site other than Microsoft. Do I just need to make sure I download the avatar/Kinect update that matches my dash version and apply it? Sounds like that’s all there is to it.

I have an RGH Jasper unit with a 2TB drive. It boots straight to Aurora. The dash is 2.0.17511.0. I looked for a straight Xbox 360 support forum since I suspect that is where this post belongs, as opposed to the Aurora support forum. Most everything is working great. Most all of my games are working and many of my XBLA titles are working, though some are not. A few non-working titles include Bastion, Fez, Harms Way, Toy Soldiers, Pinball FX 2, and Trials Evolution. It appears these games need an update to run. Also, my Kinect is not working with the games, as they all need updates as well. I've done a little research but I want to make sure I don't kill my console as there is quite a bit of outdated info out there. I've tried all of the patch options in Aurora as well as the title updates to no avail. It looks like I am going to have to apply some updates to get this working. Can someone kindly point me in a direction on how to get the latest dash / Kinect updates so these final few games will run correctly?

Forgive me but I'm new to the JTAG/RGH scene. What does the content folder tell you? Are you saying if the discs have content folders, they can be grouped together? What about difference between SP and MP discs, treat them as separate games? How can you determine this from just an iso? How about an install disc vs play disc? Again, how can you tell from just the iso?

Perhaps you can shed some more light on this? If you have just the iso, how can you identify what type of game? Are you talking about extracting the iso and using the structure to make this determination?

I know that running multidisc games has been covered many times in the forum. My question is has anyone run across a list or is there anyone working on identifying the multidisc games and what method of install to use? I understand there are several methods depending on the type of game, SP or MP, install and play disc, or game that spans multiple discs. It would be nice if someone had already gone to the trouble to compile a compatibility list. If not, I guess I'll start working on one. Based on the number of multidisc threads, I think this would be useful info so people don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I was saving the ini file incorrectly.

So I do have Dashlaunch installed. If I go into DL and set the default path to the Aurora XEX, it will work fine until I reboot. When I reboot the default dash loads and I have to start the process over by running XEXMenu first. Is there a certain order these apps have to be installed? Perhaps a certain location? I have all launchers, Aurora, DL and Freestyle installed under a folder called Dashboards on the root of the hard drive. It's as if Dashlaunch isn't saving my settings even though I tell it to.

These are the launchers I have under my Dashboards directory. I believe DL30 is what I'm looking for. Does it need to be moved to the root or can I leave it as is?

So this is all I see when I look at the root and HDD1 root via FTP. I'm missing the ini file. I have to launch XEXMenu manually under Games. I'm guessing that has something to do with it.

I'm sure this is in the forums somewhere. I've done some searches and come up empty but I know it can be done. I have an RGH Jasper running XEXMenu 1.1, Latest version of Aurora, DashLaunch and Freestyle. For the life of me I can't figure out or find documentation on how to set Aurora as the default. I'm assuming it has to be done with XEXMenu since that is what I have to launch each time I want to run Aurora. I'm hoping a JTAG veteran can share a quick link to get me up to speed. On a side note, I looked through several of the FAQs and unless I overlooked it, I didn't see any references for doing this. It would be a great addition to a pinned Aurora FAQ.

Maybe this info will help someone else out. Stupidly, I had accidentally downloaded a game into the root of my games drive, Assassins Creed 2 by the looks of it. I combed through the folders and deleted any non-game specific folders as well as any loose file in the Games directory and all is working well. Thanks Mattie for pointing me in the right direction.

So are there any dependencies that Aurora requires to just do a basic scan and detect games in a folder? As I mentioned above, I now cannot see any games in my Games folder using Aurora unless I add an individual scan path to each game. In that case it works fine. Is Aurora data cached somewhere outside of the Aurora folder?

So yeah, weird stuff going on. I deleted Aurora from the HD. The only folder left was plugins and it was empty. I then copied a fresh install over to the HD and rebooted. I specified the scan path again, pretty straight forward, \Xbox360\System\Hdd1\Games. It scanned and found a single game, Assassins Creed II. I actually had a folder there as a placeholder but no game. So I deleted the folder completely from the Xbox HD. Did another rescan. It still populated Assassins Creed. I specified paths to two individual games, both located in the Games directory and they loaded fine. This makes no sense to me. Deleting the Aurora folder should have deleted the DB including all game entries. Where else could this data be stored?

I have a RGH'ed Jasper 360 that I added a 2TB drive to and configured from scratch. I added XexMenu, Aurora and FreestyleDash. I have been ripping discs to the drive with no issues. Aurora sees them and I have automatic scanning set. The problem is when I FTP games over. For some reason, none of the games will show up in Aurora. They show in FSD just fine. I can launch them from the file menu in Aurora, but they just don't show up in the interface. Any ideas what I could check or what I might be doing wrong? I have loaded dash launch but I have not gotten around to configuring it yet. I wouldn't think that would cause this issue with Aurora though. I also read through all 37 pages of the support forum and while there are a number of topics related to missing games, none seemed to apply to this case.
