Yeah, I did not think you had greyed out avatars. I am also on latest 17559 but did get the greyed out avatars .I had 3 goes at the update before it was recognised from USB in main MS dash. Seems like you have tried everything we both can think of, and other members on the forum, without success. I can only assume it is some settings in Dashlaunch or Aurora causing the problems as your games work in both MS DASH and Dashlaunch.

I noticed you said you placed the update on a USB in case it was the avatar update that was the problem. I remember my avatars were greyed out on main dash so applied the update to get avatars back, then applied the XNA update and that is when all Indie games worked. I assume you probably did the same as you said no patch was applied. Below is exactly what happened to me, and if your avatars are not greyed out then there must be some other hidden setting we are not getting to the bottom of. I really do hope you get this working as I feel your frustration . I look a good puzzler now and then and this one is belter. If they're gray, you need to update your avatar cache. Without that update... Indie games will not work. To fix this, download the .RAR file in the link. Then, extract the contents into a folder in your USB stick and plug it into your Xbox. Once at your Xbox, open Dashlaunch, and you're going to want to disable NOUPDATER. Once done, save and go to Xexmenu. In there, navigate to your USB section and open up the folder that you extracted the .RAR's contents into. And find BiometrixSetup.xex. Open it, and it will update your avatar cache. Once done, your avatar should be back. This for kernal 17150 ONLY. Also, you HAVE to open the Indie with FreeStyle or Aurora Dash in order to bypass the stupid Xbox Live deal. Edit above is a quote from somewhere but you may gather that this will be for the version of Dash you are on not the one quoted and Biometrixsetup is obviouslly the posters name for the downloaded update (I think).

Really is mysterious. I had an old xexmenu install disk with some apps on it to get my RGH up and running. Installed the same version of Aurora as you have but did not touch any settings in Dashlaunch as they were supposed to be the correct settings for everything to work. When I tried to play Indie games I got a message saying I needed to get title update (XNA), which I did and Voila it worked. So I am completely surprised as to why yours in not working. Cannot see it being dashlaunch version asI had your version on an old RGH WHICH I gave to my nephew and all indie games worked on that one also. Sorry it did not work.

I had a look at my Dashlaunch which is V.3.1 contpatch - on xblapatch - OFF licpatch - OFF pingpatch - on liveblock - on livestrong - OFF fakelive - off autofake - on autocont - OFF autofake0 to 9 ALL OFF as you can see we have some differences in the settings and as my Indie games work in Aurora, why dont you give these settings a try to see if they work for you. I hope they do, but if not, I am at a loss

I had the same problem and had to update XNA for indie games. Found it using GOOGLE, used content manager to transfer title to xbox and now all working. Bear in mind it is not a game title update search for XNA Title Update for Indie Games and you will find this easy enough, download, unrar and use 360 Content Manger to upload it to the xbox 360.
