Hello I have a JTAG and recently Aurora has started to take a very long time to boot, and I'm not sure why. Whilst I do have a large amount of games (750GB internal, 2TB external), Freestyle boots instantly, as Aurora used to, but not now and I can't figure out why. The fact that Freestyle boots instantly with the same amount of games scanned in appears to confirm the amount of games, and hard drives are not the culprit. I also tried removing the external drive, but got the same result. Any idea of the cause of this slowdown please and how I can fix it? I've read the FAQ sticky and can confirm that I have xhttp set to true in the launch.ini, and that I have no plugins active within Dashlaunch. 20240406_160127.mp4

You're welcome guys, nice to have contributed in a some tiny way. Haha, yeah right! This is about as 'advanced' as I get!

Thanks Team Phoenix! I'm in quite a strange 'gaming' period of my life at the moment where I enjoy 'tinkering' with gaming platforms, rather than actually playing on them! With the excellent Aurora dash and the great support I received here, the 360 is my current fav tinker toy.

Hello While two of these scripts have been posted before, the op disappeared along with the download link for script, so with big help from Swizzy (thanks man!) I've recreated them and added a third. Swizzy's original local co-op script works exactly as should, however, due to lots of missing player info from Xbox.com, loads of games were missing from results. I know nothing about script but wanted to added the missing games, and so through lots of trail and error I've managed to do just that. They do not included all available games, but I've added over 250 titles for 360 and XBLA by sourcing co-op data from Co-Optimus. For any missing games, you can manually add title ID to the script. It would be a great help to everyone if you could also post those title ID's here and I'll update script. I will add that 'Local co-op' includes all games where there are co-op elements within game, so not necessary just campaigns, although it would be great if someone could create just that. If there are any mistakes or you simply don't want a particular game returned via script, you can delete the title id (if it's been added manually) or add this to the script... if (Content.TitleId == 0x<TitleID>) then return false end To create scripts, simply open notepad and copy and paste script below. Save with .lua extension and transfer to Xbox 360 > aurora/media/scrpts/UserFilters. You will of course need separate file for each script, so for example in my 'UserFilters' folder I have these three files... Local-co-op.lua Local-co-op-4p.lua Multiplayer.lua So here we go then... Local Co-op Local Co-op 4 Player Local Multiplayer Don't forget if you know of any games that need to be added, please post name of game, it's title id and it's feature, ie co-op, co-op 4 player or multiplayer, and I'll update script. Enjoy!

All starting to make sense, thanks for your patience. Yeah I know the script is only as good as the info from Xbox.com, and that's the whole reason why I've been amending it so as I can add all the missing games (there was a lot missing).

Ah yeah missing the 'end' thank you. Right sooo with regards to trying to get script to return ALL local co-op games, so that it returns all 2, 3 or 4 player local co-op games, I should just leave minco and maxco as you originally intended correct? I original interpreted that as 'return if minimum player is 1 and maximum player is 2', but if I've understood your above explanation correctly, what it actually instructs is to 'return if minimum player is 1 or greater, and maximum player is 2 or greater'. Is this correct?

Mmmm lovely 0.6b

.....I'm back! Ok so trying to sort script to show local multiplayer, but so far no luck. Script won't show up within Aurora so I've gone wrong somewhere, but where? Script attempt 1 Script attempt 2 - This is just a straight copy of link you sent me. No idea what needs to be changes (if anything)? I tried replacing the %i-%i with numbers to represent min/max players, but that didn't work. Also with regards to the co-op script (and guess this one too), if I want to increase max players, so for example I want script to return all co-op games 1-4, which number do I need to change please? I changed to... ....yet somehow the number of games returned decreased? Shouldn't that return all games with co-op 1-4 players? What's the difference between "maxco >" and "maxco =="? Help me oh wise one!

Thank you. With regards to the co-op script, is there a command I can use to omit certain titleid please?

Looks awesome! 5/5 from me too, very least I can do. I'm really looking forward to VR becoming mainstream.

Sweet Moses! That fixed it! Thanks Swizzy! That takes care of co-op script, so now I'd like create second script to return 'multiplayer' please. Is it just a case of replacing 'minco' & 'maxco' part of the script? If so do you know the script references for minimum player and maximum player please?

Thank you, but the problem is not with your original script, that is working just fine and is returning games, but not all co-op games within my library. As such I'm trying to add those missing games/title ID's manually, but this is where the problem start, as the games/title id's I've added to the script are not being returned. Games/title ID's I've added in this example... 0x584109D2 0x41560901 0x4541084C 0x454108D8 All of which are added to the extra part of the script... end Those four games however are not being returned, ie are not displayed when script is run, so appears there is something wrong with this part of the script perhaps? I tested your amended script as above, but no games are returned using this, and log just reported same error over and over... I fear things are becoming more complicated than they need to, no doubt my fault as I'm not the best at trying to explain. Basically while the original script does return some co-op games, it doesn't return all co-op games. I understand this is not fault of script, as it can only return games if number of player data is exists. As such I'm trying to return missing games by manually adding their title id's to the original script, but those manually added games are not being returned. I know nothing of scripting, but I'm sure what I'm trying to do is very basic for any one who knows script, so if anyone can see error, correct error and supply working script, that would be very much appreciated. I say anyone, because I'm sure Swizzy must need a break once in a while from dealing with such noobs like your's truly Alternatively perhaps I can amend the database using SQliteBrowser, if indeed the database includes 'number of players' which the scrips 'minco' and 'maxco' picks up on? I THINK the number of players is presented under the heading 'GameCapsOffline'. I would assume if the offline number of players were say '2 players' the entry would therefore be '2', however, entries here are either '0', or long string of numbers ranging from 8-14 digits, so I have no idea. If number of players is not par of the database, where exactly is this data please? If I can find that and amend/added number of player data, then perhaps the script will work without the need to added individual title ID's.

Hello I've manually edited synopsis for all my games now via sqlitebrowser. I got rid of all the unnecessary junk text, million and one 'TM' & copyright symbols, added paragraphs etc, so now I might actual read some of them. It would be a lot quicker process however if when adding new games I could simply make the edits directly via Aurora. What do you think guys? Something worth including please? Thank you

Sweetballs of goodness! We are all lucky ducks! Thanks guys!

Thanks Swizzy but still unable to get any script working to show extra games I've added. Can you take a look please and see where I'm going wrong? Script attempt 1... Script attempt 2... I'm also curious what "minco" and "maxco" refers too please? Thank you

Thanks man, I'll give this a go. With regards to adding more TItleID's, as above would this be the best script, or would the other one you posted be more suitable please? If I were to use this script, can I simply keep adding "or Content.TitleID == 0xTitleID)" for each game, or is there a shorter method, like for example...

kira125 is missing in action again. Calling kira125, come in please Swizzy I'm trying to amend your script myself to add missing games, but not having much joy. Here is my amended line 4.... I've clearly gone wrong because the script disappears from Aurora's user scripts menu. I can confirm it still has correct extention of '.lua'. Can you spot the mistake please? Also can I use the 'or' command continuously so as to add many more games? I basically want to create several different filters that will filter for 'local co-op' and 'local multiplayer' etc. Would the above script edited to include various TitleID's be the most suitable script, or would the following script be better suited please... http://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/5309-i-need-new-user-script-to-aggregate-the-title-ids-you-want/ Ideally we will hear back from kira125 as I have no experience with script and it's sounds like he's already made two great scripts, but failing that I will give it a shot. @ kira125, if you do wish to share scripts again, it would be a great if you could post under 'spoiler' tag (as you did above with Swizzy's original script), as then they would be continuously available for all. This would avoid possibility of download links being lost again. Either way it would be great if you could share again, because as proven above I am a numbtie when it comes to scripting, so if left to me, I could end up taking my eye out! Thank you

Mainly my fault I think as I've gone way off topic, sorry QuattroGam3r! So mid November is almost here, any latest news as to public release of PSIO? Will you be getting one straight away or wait until price comes down a bit?

Thanks guys. Unfortunately 'powercfg -lastwake' only states 'wake history count', but no source. I have attempted to identify what is causing this in the past by viewing the event log, but didn't have any success. Today however I think I've made progress. Time stamp indicates PC wakes from source being "Security-SPP" (Software Protection Platform Service). Just googled this and appears to be related to MS Office. This can be disabled by the following procedure... 1. Click on Start > type "services.msc" in the search field and press enter. 2. In the "Services" window, look for the following entry: Software Protection 3. Double click and set the "Startup type" as "Disabled" 4. Click "apply" and "OK" to validate. I'd imagine Office or Windows will start crying it if can't 'protect', so I've set startup type to 'Automatic (Delayed Start) instead of completing disabling it, so will see if that resolves issue. Thank you

Yeah I've no doubt the Logitech wireless xbox controller rocks, but unfortunately one has yet to cross my path. I have however used many different wireless controllers for Xbox and they all sucked big time! The Madcatz one's were the only ones that actually worked without dropouts. Never been a fanboy of any company, but just found these works very well for me, but would certainly try Logitech's offering if ever in need of replacement. If I were a fanboy however, I would actually be an unconscious fanboy of Logitech! One day I noticed looking across my desk that the majority of gear is made by Logitech, and they are all great products! Keyboard: K360. I was hesitant about getting a wireless keyboard after seeing my mate constantly searching for batteries as his keyboard ate them quicker than I can eat a cookie (and I'm speed mcqueen when it comes to cookie eating!) I've had this keyboard for two, maybe three years now, I leave it switched on 24/7 and I swear I have only had to change the battery once! Mouse: G5 Laser Mouse. Just a great mouse. Remote: Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote. Hands down best remote ever owned. Admittedly there were some build issues with early versions, but Logitech send me a replacement, hassle free. Sound: Z-5500 Digital 5.1 Speaker System - The daddy of all Logitech products! 500-watt RMS THX certified legendary system, which I could sell today six years after purchase, and I wouldn't lose any money! So there you have it! I'm a Logitech fanboy and I didn't even know it! I don't mind admitting either, as it's extremely rare to find a company I can rave about, so Logitech is one of very few... perhaps in fact the only one to date!

I unfortunately know this feeling only too well! I've pretty much had most xbox original (old xbox, classic xbox, you know the first one... stupid M$!) wireless controllers and the best by far is Mad Catz MicroCon. 15% smaller than standard so might not be ideal for big hands, but performance is solid and on par with 360 controller! No dropouts, no lay, just great performance. The only downside is that it has no auto switch off and I often forget to switch it off so plenty of dead batteries! Thankfully rechargeable so no biggy. Close runner up is another made by MadCatz, this time full sized s-type called 'HammerHead' (HMT4546). Same great performance AND with the added bonus of auto switch off so no dead batteries! Only reason it finished behind MicroCon is that it feels a bit cheap compared to MicroCon, and because I have girl hands I find the MicroCon more comfortable... oh and it's green and I like green!

That's my point right there. If there is no structure in place to sell something you 'own', can you really say you own it? If this situation were applied to high street store, where you were told you could never sell an item on once finished with it, consumers would never accept that, never mind the law. Of course I understand why people love digital downloads because it means they can get the game almost instantly, but eventually they will (or should) see it's limitation of not being able to resell. Horses for courses, but that's my particular views on digital downloads and why I don't like them. Maybe if I was younger I would be all for them as I 'just need the game now dam it!', but now days I'm happy to wait. No rush, PLENTY of other games to play in the mean time. Agreed, lets get back on topic... Aurora 0.5B is awesome! Can I get a hell yeah?! When can we expect 0.6B (oh cheeky!)

scorpNZ, thank you but I got lost just reading your solution to this! haha. Anyways to sum this up I agree with Swizzy, not high priority thing, just thought I'd made the suggestion so at least has a chance of being included at some point. Thanks guys.

On Unity though, when you click on 'Updates', up pops a screen showing all the update for that game. It's has a download arrow sign and a plus + sign, which when you hover over say 'Push'. I've not tried it yet, but from what you said above regarding TU, the push option won't work for these? I'm not sure what you mean, but perhaps it's me not explaining clearly. What I mean is in which situation would you ever find a TU update in 000B0000? Like for example it's not likely to be on disc (and I've not seen as yet) because surely all updates would have been incorporated in to main game already. If all marketplace TU downloads are stored in cache, and aurora's TU downloads stored in aurora's own folder, how or when is a TU ever stored in 000B0000?

Good to know, thank you. Any thoughts on auto downloading TU's, or know of any other app that can do this please? I have some more questions please... 1. I can confirm I'm already connected Unity, so if I 'Push', how long should it take to arrive on 360 and is there any notification, or is it just a case of keep checking game details? Is there any other requirements such as perhaps a reboot? 2. Do pushed TU's go straight to Aurora title update folder, 360 cache or both? 3. At what point or in which situation would a TU update ever end up in a 000B0000 folder? Most TU's from marketplace arrive in cache do they not, or do some get saved to directly to titleID\000B0000 folder?
