Oh right, never realised that m8 - I'll check it out - still it seems kind of weird being able to jump over a roof, but thanks for letting me know.

Well it's just out and already people are using hacks - I just went on to two different games - people were flying over roofs and stuff - WTF, really - where is the fun in that? What's the point in that shit - it just spoils it for everyone else.

Thanks Swizzy, I'm going to have some fun with this dash then.

OK thanks, that's good to know. I could probably do this myself if it's just a case of modding the lua scripts. I'll have a look at this later tonight if I get the time. I have a question regarding lua? Do you know if this dash fully supports all of lua 5.1, can I use all the statements such as if, elseif, then etc. Also could I use functions to call other functions? If so I can make this dash do some good things - such as download files from the net etc.

Would you be able to put an IF statement in your program (the bit that deals with filters) so that IF xbox360 Retail is selected - XBLA is unselected - this way you can't select both at the same time and people won't get an empty dash? Thanks.

Log into unity and search for the game Title ID you need the cover for - if it's not there, your xbox won't download it. Some homebrew covers are missing - because they have not been uploaded yet.

Lua is very, very easy to use and read - even someone like me without much coding experience can use it. I have been using it for a long time to make my own programs at home and have made quite a few that I use regularly. Ok it's not the most powerful language - but the things you can do with it are pretty amazing to be honest. It's not even compiled like a regular program - it's all scripting - so it's easy to modify and makes testing a breeze. I use it on a program called autoplay media studio, but I know what it can do so I am glad to so it being used in this dashboard, as the possibilities with what it can do are great.

I tried both of these as well m8 - the folder was in use so it didn't work - probably because some files in the Nands dashboard access that folder, I needed to access via my computer with the drive not in the xbox360. That way the folder was not in use, and could be renamed. The problem is solved now though - I guess the same bug is in FSD3 - as well, as I deleted my FSD3 folder and reset it up - that was also much faster at scanning and now starts faster - with less files to download once the scan was complete. I just never noticed before.

LOL - just rename you Content folder to content - only joking! Thanks

Yep that's the problem. I hooked the slim drive up to a usb caddy, then used party buffalo to access the drive file system, renamed content to Content. Installed and run everything exactly as before - this time No DLC is showing up. Phew - at last, the problem is solved. Thanks for taking the time to look at your code, and that was much faster at scanning - now the download queue is 3000+ files smaller, and the dash loads faster.

Yeah I have tried that, no joy though - it's not a big deal. I was thinking I could just remove the drive from the 360 and put in a USB sata caddy - then rename as mentioned above - that would probably work fine.

Bugger, the ftp program and xbox won't let me change the folder name - probably because that folder is in use by the xbox360. I've got a 360 transfer cable and Phat HD caddy somewhere, I'll try hooking the drive up to my PC and changing the folder name that way - via party buffalo or Xplorer360. I'll post back later on with my results.

Ok just so you know I'm not having you on, here's a screenshot of the current scan:

OK just tried again - same results: This is what I've done: 1: Started FsD (automatically via dashlaunch) on booting the xbox 2: Logged in via FTP and sent the Aurora 0.1A - Release Package - Hotfix #1 folder to the root of HDD1. 3: Renamed the folder to Aurora 4: All Aurora folders and files are chmod 777 5: Started Aurora.xex via FSD3 file manager 6: Gone to Settings/unity/ entered username and api key (via request). 7: Gone to Content scanning - unchecked auto scan, added path: \Xbox360\System\Hdd1\content\0000000000000000 depth 2, script data: None 8: Save scan path 9: selected 'scan now' 10: xbox starts scanning for content - immediately finds 'optional media update', once again all DLC is found. I've got a slim xbox 360 with 4gig memory (trinity) & running a demon slim and protov2. I've added a 1TB hard drive, 16gig usb drive (formatted to work with original nand) & kinect connected.

I've just deleted my Aurora folder + all it's contents. I'll try again with "Aurora 0.1A - Release Package - Hotfix #1" and see how that goes - i'll post back with my findings ok.

Here you go: 96C87E4AB044B236F8A2272C65E8B7396172668A41 - MD5=a55b09f0ceaff66f61d3554a7d499c4c 449174A75B1D08B8825CC2047CBBE609D9C2C56B41 - MD5=cfe2d6d3d19408f65a8a87018c215b4e I patched some of my COD DLC to make it Region free- I don't think these were patched though as they were region free to begin with. So MD5 should match yours.

Exactly... To be honest it doesn't really matter if the dlc dosen't match either - the fact that it's getting picked up from the 00000002 folder's, shows that those folders are not being ignored during the scan.

I've got a better idea, load the content.db I posted above into your sql program - (I use SQLite Expert Pro) - and pick any dlc you want. Ie something you already have. Tell me what we have in common and I'll post the md5 hashes of my dlc (the ones you want) - if mine and yours match, they are the exact same. This way you can test as much dlc as you want without me having to upload and you needing to download. Also is saves posting potentially illegal stuff on the site. Just let me know the title id - and filename of the dlc (saves me searching for ages).

Just an though but would this work: Currently using a scan depth of 2 in "\content\0000000000000000\ Also scans the following folders: \GameID\ then...... 00020000 - Gamerpics 00030000 - Themes 00080000 "now 000D0000" - Demos 00090000 - Videos 00004000 - Game Installs 00000002 - Extra Content (DLC) 00007000 - Games On Demand 000B0000 - Title Updates 000D0000 - xbla games Obviously these all don't need to be scanned - as the database increases, and so does the download queue... Why not just scan the following: \content\0000000000000000\ scan depth 1 - then tell the database scanning program to just look in the relevant GOD,Installed games,TU's,XBLA folders - and ignore the rest? I think this would make more sense and wouldn't be too hard to code, it would also speed the scan up - as you guys have shown you are expert coders already.

Yes I know, I usually use SQLite Expert Professional to look at SQL databases, I was in a bit of a rush yesterday. I can see that the database has made with all the DLC added - I've no idea why - but I have deleted Aurora just now until the next alpha or beta comes out. It's a good dash though and I can see it only getting better with time, but i'll stick to FSD3 just now as that works well for me. I'll no doubt come back to Aurora but it's too unstable for daily use just now (I know its alpha - don't take this to heart).

Here you go: http://rghost.net/56763313 I just had a look with a hex editor and found this: \content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002ED485F61151DF878E35D6E6B2EE546D27D3FC83F45EA Notice how the trailing slash is missing - \content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002 After the 2 there should be a \ to separate the dlc - I use the above dlc as an example, but when you look at the file I posted you'll see what I mean.

Scan path is \Xbox360\System\Hdd1\content\0000000000000000 (script data: Not set) Scan Depth: 2 Api key and username have been hexed out to xxx in the settings.db to prevent people using my unity login. Download here: http://rghost.net/56762911

Here you go, as requested. I also included a screenshot of my ftp program accessing cod- world at war dlc folder as the path shown on the TV was too long to fit on the screen: Hope that answers you properly.

All my dlc's are in the 00000002 folder & all my dlc works fine Here's a picture of the dash with the DLC showing!

I'll do it later tonight m8, I need to go out for a few hours.
