Are you able you patch title updates into a game permanently? I have a game that I can't play if I dont modify some files in the game folder(Batman Arkham Origins) If I delete the default.xex in the game folder and rename the file sp.exe to default.xex it runs from aurora, but then I can't apply the title updates as the game files are modified. Can I extract title updates and apply them to the game files somehow ?

You will find a post by me to edit the database to swap drive, i dont know if changing the hdd enclosure would require such a mod but it may.: copying asset data - Aurora support - RealModScene

I found this I don't know if it was on on this forum This is the Xbox Classic emulator for the Xbox 360 which allows for original Xbox games to be played on the Xbox 360. As this backwards compatibility update is hacked, it allows for more Xbox Classic games to be played on the Xbox 360 than are officially supported. Some of the games not officially supported play almost perfectly, however some have various issues. Credits: Original 2007 version of this hack: xorloser Updated 2018 version of this hack: mathieulh :: Overview This is a devkit version of the retail xbox360 backwards compatibility that was released April 2018. This build fixes the compatibility issue that occurs with Xbox Live connectivity disabled titles titles on retail consoles. This issue did not occur on XDK units. https://www.mediafire.com/file/vrrv7fz1gdutynq/xb1_5832_apr_2018_2019.12.09_128MB-EXPERIMENTAL.zip/file link to original article: https://team-xecuter.com/community/threads/xbox-360-hacked-xbox-backwards-compatibility-v5832.132991/#post-1017464

Is there a chance to release the source parts that would be deemed releasable? plugins etc...

I made a torrent on backups.me with the hdd partitions setup and suggested people use fatxplorer to create drive on the pc or ftp to the console. The lua script can possibly do what you want I don't see any code release any of this stuff to modify to make into an auto installer you could look at the installer for xecuter fusion also?

Using Aurora's file manager to copy from drive to drive is actually quite quick compared to ftp, but yes fatxplorer is the quickest method and very valuable if you use it extensively, I paid for it and is a very handy tool. I'm still waiting for him to add original xbox support that as been on the cards for over a year now.

I'm not at home at the moment but by details menu do you mean pressing the y button on individual titles to move? yes that would be handy, but would lack features to que items, a way to multi select titles from the main display and preform the same function copy move functions as the file manager. A way to transfer the items selected in the main display into a que in the file manager perhaps?

On the main display and you can apply filters with the triggers etc it is a very good way to group and isolate content. I'm just wondering if the same features of the main display could be merged into the file manager or merge the file manager features into the main display as an alternative, once the filter is applied to a DB content related listing in the file manager you can select one at a time or select all to the que and copy paste etc... Showing the DB content in a window like a extra storage device in the file manager would be preferable option. To embed those features you would end up recreating the file manager basically in a utility script and recreating all the features of filters that are already preset on the main display. It just seems like creating a utility script would be reinventing the stuff that Aurora already does and would probably do it a lot better than any thing I could invent in a script.

Cool I know nothing about LUA scripting apart from a quick Wikipedia search but it seems to be an alternative to python. But I guess if it has access directly to the db you can see the current mounted device ID and update the content locations, some simple logic to check the content on the device and decide which device id needs updating.

Correct but I meant to add filters/ sorting scripts I will corrected my above suggestion. with the file manager you are limited to browsing for content and adding it to the que, the ability to apply filters/ sorting scripts to a flattened directory would be handy. As I have multiple storage devices it would be handy to organise content. say if I want to move all car games to a specific device I would have to manually pick each title and copy it with my suggestion it would allow a wild card like approach to content from within the file manager.

Currently if you clone a hdd you have to rescrape asset data or edit the database to reuse the old asset data as I have done in the past using SQLite database editor. Could we use an LUA script to update the device id in the database should we clone our storage to another device?

you might want to beef up your powersupply your xbox was not designed to run 3 internal drives, The kinetc required an external adaptor on the phat consoles as it went over the power requirements of the xbox, if you could get a hold of a 213w dev powersupply for your console and it might help.

Would it be possible to enable flattening of the directory hierarchy and filters/ sorting scripts in the file manager so you could have an Aurora dashboard like directory listing? If it were able to update the database hooks if you happened to move titles that would be cool. I'd like to be easily be able to manage games across storage devices cut paste etc, it would be handy for setting up and copying content.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it has to do with it being the same profile as other profiles show up from both locations.

The auto select/ load profile on boot fails to show all profiles across all storage devices. I have a live profile stored on a old type storage 32gb and the same profile stored on the internal drive and it fails to show the profile stored on the usb stick on startup. If I skip login from the startup window the profile shows up in the HUD and I'm able to log In with the profile stored on the USB stick. Both profiles show up in the official dash in RGH and retail nands.
