Hello folks, I would like to make two suggestions regarding title updates if possible please. 1) In the Aurora database the folder structure is includes the GameID followed by a unique folder for each TU downloaded. When an older TU is deleted the folder it was contained in is left behind as an empty folder. Would it be possible for the folder to be removed at the same time as the TU? 2) I'm one of the unfortunates using a component cable into a 720p TV which does not have any overscan fix builtin so it requires me to fix overscan on the main Aurora menu, which is not a problem. The issue is that when a game is played and the Freestyle overlay appears the overscan settings are ignored so the game ID, media ID, title update information etc are off screen at the bottom. Would it be possible for this to be included at the bottom of the mini dash instead? Thanks as always.

Turns out I was the problem. I hadn't noticed that the hard disk was full so this was obviously preventing the database to complete and causing all of the games in the list to disappear. Sorry for the confusion. So the best way I found of migrating was to copy the title updates from console A onto my computer and clear up all of the empty folders from TU changes with Treesize Free Edition and follow that with the Bulk Renaming Utility to rename all folders with a minimum character length of 9 characters to be 000B0000. Then FTP the GameID folders into the 0000000000000000 folder on console B and instruct Aurora to do a TU scan followed by a TU clean so I am not duplicating TU's for games I don't play that often but like to still keep on the disk. Finally I connect to HDD1 via SMB through Freestyle and delete all of the 000B0000 folders in the 0000000000000000 folder to start fresh with the reboot of Aurora. I realise some of those steps are way OTT but it works for my piece of mind. One request I would make if possible, when a game has a new TU become available I usually download it and delete the old TU. This removes the TU from the cached data in Aurora but not the original containing folder inside the GameID folder. Is deleting the folder aswell something that could be added to a future Aurora release so that we don't end up with lots of empty folders? Thanks as always.

Yeah I realise that. The good thing about it was (assuming the folder locations are consitant) it was easy to just move all of the TU's between consoles and Freestyle would auto add them in at the next scan. Today I took my archive of TU's that I had from aurora and used a bulk renamer to rename each folder inside the GameID folder to 000B0000 and then FTP'd that to the Content\0000000000000000. Once I rebooted Aurora and rescanned for title updates it found them all and added them into the cache without any issue. I thought all was good until I went to play a game and then returned to Aurora again. For some reason all of the scanned in games in the list had disappeared and whenever I tried to rescan the folder location for them it would fail. I deleted Aurora and restored a fresh copy of 5b and tried the same again and ended up with the same result. Not sure if its a bug or I am expecting to much from this release.

Hello everyone, In the past on Xbox Console A I would ftp all of the title updates and folders inside the Data->Title Updates->Random Number folder in Freestyle dash to a USB drive and then go to Xbox Console B and ftp the same files and folders into the random number folder of its own. Then simply do a rescan and it would add in all of the latest title updates for the games. When I try to do the same in Aurora it never picks up that there is a lot of title updates already in the random number folder. Telling Aurora to force a title update rescan doesn't do anything either. Is there a way around this so I don't have to redownload all of the title updates on Console B again? Thanks

Is there anyway this could be programmed to be an option to choose to use the xbox.com info or to ignore it? Also, two more suggestions/queries if I may. 1) When I select to hide multidisk games this works but when I reboot the option is unticked again. Is this correct? 2) Does the information pulled from xbox.com indicate the amount of players each game supports? If would be nice to have a sort option for the number of players if possible.

First off, what an effort from you guys. Aurora is a superb dashboard alternative. My particular favorite is what you have done with the title updates. Being able to change between TU5 and TU8 on Street Fighter X Tekken easily so I can have the Pac-Man/Mega-Man characters is very welcome. With freestyle I would always have to go in a delete the 000B0000 folder from using the TU8 so I could use the TU5 again. I do have one question. When I was converting my games from iso to god I was always renaming them to a set standard so that they would appear in order in the freestyle menu. So for example the Grand Theft Auto games show as Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V instead of Grand Theft Auto V and GTA IV. Even though I renamed these in the god and freestyle still shows them correctly, Aurora I presume reads the XEX and displays the original names as defined by the developer. Is there a way to restore this without me having to go through renaming each game? Thanks.
