We proudly announce the release of the first Arabic translation for Aurora. The translation is compitable with Aurora 0.4b This was a big step because XBOX originally does not support RTL (specially connected letters) languages, such as Arabic, Persian.. etc I developed a special tool that converts the translation to a form that could be rendered properly on Aurora. It is currently being integrated into Swizzy's great Aurora Translation Tool. The Arabic translation itself was done by 3absiso and me (mostly 3absiso ). Many thanks to him on the great work. Of course, special thanks goes to Swizzy, who provided great help and support to make this happen. We also cannot forget to thank the amazing Phoenix team who made all this possible Here is a quick walk-through HD video as a demo: (thanks to 3absiso for that too) The skin in the video is a custom skin based on the wonderful Paradise skin - which provides better support to RTL language. For now, I mainly increased the width of some buttons to fit the long Arabic label, but in the future it will do more I will talk about that in a separate topic in the Skins forum. The translation still works very well with default Aurora skin!! Also with any other skins as long as they use standard unicode fonts. Just download the attached file, decompress, then upload the xzp file it to: Aurora/Media/Locales If anyone is interested in Persian localization, please contact Swizzy to arrange that.

I have just two small UI and translation fixes: Toggle Favorite: "Toggle" is a hard word to be translated in other languages. So may you please split it into two words: Set Favorite and Unset Favorite. You already did that in one scene "Quick View" so please do the same in the Game Details scene Order of OK/Cancel buttons: the order of OK/Cancel buttons is currently not the same (For example, delete file in file manager VS delete TU). Sometimes OK is on the left of Cancel, while in other places Cancel is on the left of OK. I guess it would be nice to unify that.

Skin -X.One- [AURORA 0.4B] Hi i was update my skin (color based in Xbox One, all menu images changed for my own) Skim.Meta updated. This Skin is Based in Paradise of Mattelta. Enjoy it X-One.xzp

As I really liked the idea of switching A and Y buttons, which was originally suggested by Grebbin7780 here: http://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/4452-aurora-04b-released/?p=35579 I made this customization to the default skin of Aurora 0.4 so that you can now in main screen press A button to view game details and press Y button to launch the game.

Hello, I wonder if in the future will have its own plugin aurora, as having fsd.? This would have improved link, and other things. Sorry my bad English, I'm Uruguayan, I speak Spanish

Great news for all Arabic speakers out there!! Finally, it's now possible to add Arabic localization to Aurora Dashboard. I have developed a small tool that converts Arabic translation into a special format that renders perfectly in Aurora. It works on any normal font by the way, but I changed the default skin font to make the Arabic letters more bold and clear. I only translated the main scene for now as a sample (check screenshots below), so if anyone was already working on an Arabic translation just please coordinate with Swizzy since he is the focal point of Aurora localization. Thanks to Swizzy for the great translation tool, and of course always thanks to Phoenix who made all of this possible Screenshot of my tool (not ready yet for publishing, but will post it soon) Screenshot of the translated main scene: (just as a sample, I didn't translate the whole thing yet) Screenshot of the translated main scene of Paradise:

Hello guys, I often need to view all kinds of games together and hide the other stuff. So I wrote these filters to hide other categories. Edit: I used ~= operator instead of "not ( = )". Thanks a lot Swizzy for the great tip Hide Applications: GameListFilterCategories.User["Hide Applications"] = function(Content) return Content.ScriptData ~= "Applications" end Hide Emulators: GameListFilterCategories.User["Hide Emulators"] = function(Content) return Content.ScriptData ~= "Emulators" end Hide Homebrew: GameListFilterCategories.User["Hide Homebrew"] = function(Content) return Content.ScriptData ~= "Homebrew" end Of course to add any filter, you have to put in a file with extension .lua and place it inside folder: Media/Scripts/UserFilters I hope that would be useful for anyone I also added another one in my post below

Phoenix has released version 0.4b of Aurora, check it out: Aurora info and download. If you like what we're doing here, feel free to buy us a virtual beer or something!

Aurora 0.4b Is Now Available! Happy Holidays everyone, This next update brings some more requested features that we hope you enjoy and get some good use. Below, we've outlined the additions, changes, deletions, and bug fixes. Take a look and leave a comment. Theme Settings - In the view menu, we've added a new section for theme settings. Here you can change your cover layout, you can select and preview backgrounds, and you can turn on or off the background animation setting. To add new backgrounds to your theme menu, you simply save them into your Aurora:\Backgrounds\ folder. Currently, we support BMP, PNG, DDS, JPG, DIB, HDR, PFM, and PPM image formats. For optimal use, please use an image that has a resolution of 1280x720. Smaller and larger images are supported; however, they are scaled and may compromise load times. Skin Settings - Also in the view menu, we've added a section for skin settings. You will have the ability to select new user created skins, you will have the ability to turn on/off the "Idle" status text and you will have the ability to select an alternate splash screen. The alternate splash screen is a skin dependent feature. In Aurora, the alternate splash screen is a darker version of the default. Other skins may offer different alternates. Launch DVD - In the system dialog (pressing Back on main menu) we have added a Launch DVD button. This button will allow you to launch whatever game (or movie) is in your DVD drive. This will not download artwork or allow you to manage title updates. That type of functionality will come in the future. Title Update Scanning - Based on community feedback, we've opted to change up the TU scanning process. In Aurora 0.3b, we attempted to solve a serious issue that came up when scanning Title Updates. For those of you who don't know, prior to Aurora 0.3b, the title update scan and backup happened in the background. If a game was launched or the console was turned off while a title update was being copied, then the copy would be corrupt and the title update would not work. This became a bigger problem as Title Updates became much larger (Alien Isolation anyone?) as the copy would take even longer, increasing the chance of an interrupted backup. To solve this problem in Aurora 0.3b, we forced the title update scan to occur during the splash screen. However, the draw back that comes with that is the longer boot times, which many people didn't like. The solution we implemented in Aurora 0.4b is to scan Title Updates the first time you boot Aurora 0.4b, and then allow the user to decide when the next scan happens. Provided you only use the built in Title Update Manager from within Aurora, then you won't have to scan for title updates again. However, if you manually copy them to your drive, or download them from another dash (like FSD), then you will need to scan again. We have implemented a Scan Now button in settings to allow you to rescan for new title updates in that case. For those of you who were okay with the AutoScan happening at boot, we've added a setting to allow that to happen every time. Lastly, we added a Clear All button which essentially will scan through all of your /Cache/ and /Content/ folders and remove any title updates it finds. Changes Added LB/RB tab icons to the FileManager and Title Update Manager to help make that more clear Updated skin.xml and added skin.meta to skin files to support the new Skin Selection settings Added alternate skin splash screen option in default skin Reconfigured the Filter & Sorts scene and made updates to the game list happen immediately Created a new dynamic list module that allows us to save a ton of XUI processing power Added screenshot activator and trigger button selection prompts to allow configuration Fixed an issue where you could move the game list while the Progress UI was displayed Fixed an issue where freezing could occur when viewing achievements scene (and a couple other scenes) Added the ability to launch LibXenon ELF files from within the File Manager Added Launch DVD button to System dialog with drive detection to enable/disable button as necesssary Moved CoverLayout selection into a popup list Moved Sort Order selection into a popup list Fixed an issue where screenshot combo would not be disabled if no network cable was inserted at boot Removed filename restrictions in filemanager - allowing special characters to be used Added ability to add or remove letterbox mode when on 4:3 screens without having to manually modify database Aurora will now turn on XHTTP in dash launch while Aurora is running. When aurora exits, it will revert it to whatever setting you had it at previously. Supported Languages The following is a list of translations available in this release. If you have a language that is not already completed that you would like to translate for us, please contact Swizzy. English - Default Language German - Translated by Nachtgarm French - Translated by Nord Sud Team Spanish - Translated by Gromber Italian - Translated by MatteIta Portuguese - Translated by SpkLeader Polish - Translated by Przemysław Kołodziejczyk Swedish - Translated by Swizzy Turkish - Translated by Bomlife Dutch - Translated by Mattie Simplified Chinese - Translated by Zesty Traditional Chinese - Translated by Zesty Russian - Translated by Cosmaty Korean - Translated by -zard- Future Updates As usual we have a quite a few more features we are planning to implement as we continue to push Aurora forward.

Hello together, a few days ago i put on my Xbox first for a long time. I updated Aurora to 0.3b. If I download Assets, the count goes down but no Covers are shown. Aurora can´t find any Title-Updates and Link is always gray. FSD v3 finds TU´s but also can´t download Cover, it stops at 0kbs and nothing happens. My Xbox has a static IP-Adress and my Dashlaunch-Config seem good: ; if set to true, this will block the console from resolving LIVE related dns ; if not set this value will be TRUE liveblock = true ; if liveblock is set to true, this will block the console from resolving all MS related dns ; setting this to TRUE will also block apps like freestyle from accessing things like cover images ; *** note that if NO INI is present for launch.xex, this is set to TRUE ; if not set this value will be FALSE livestrong = false ; 14699+ has native http functions, but you are forced to be logged into use them ; this patch removes that restriction, set to false to disable it if you have any problems ; if not set this value will be TRUE xhttp = true Port-Forwarding for Link is also activated. Has anybody an idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance, FREEDOM

hi , why Aurora dev not upload dlc for games like dlc map for cod:ghost and i can download it from xbox (Aurora)

I've tried this gorgeous dash replacement, it's great, but not all my games show up when seting scan paths. They still appear in F3 / FSD. Most of them are GoD containers, and some of them are in paths with spaces... no special chars on paths and no scan folders have spaces, but some games have spaces in their paths. None of the games that appeared had spcaes in their paths. Full rescans doesn't change anything, and it does in FSD/F3 Adding more depth doesnt help. ideas?

HI guys, not quite sure if this is the place to seek answers for my problem, but here i come: Me and my buddies started to play through Link only a few months ago, and now, as JQE stopped, I am unable to link my console through Aurora - earlier I had it done in FSD, now, It fails to find the open ports, Though nothing has changed in my router options. I was unable to find any solution, so I just had to ask: What am I doing wrong? Or Aurora is just not in the mood yet to let me play?

* I dont know where and how can I do a bug report so i put [bUG REPORT] in title, if Iam wrong please tell me. Hello, I'am testing the Aurora dash replacement (0.1a.1), and find a bug: When you select both Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade in filter, none games are showed on coverflow. I had no problems selecting other filters combination other than the cited above. This is my first post, so please have patience ** EDIT: Its not a bug, its a unimplemented function (as MaesterRowen says). The filter dont work with OR logic for now.

Thank you very much for the excellent work done in Aurora Dash. It is fantastic. Would you like to guide me regarding the use of the WebUI at daybreak. I configured my username and password normally. By accessing my IP using port 9999 with my username and password previously configured, the browser displays some information on my console, but error free access to archivements and the list of games. What am I doing wrong? I want to use to access the WebUI to customize the game data, mainly covers of some games that do not appear yet. Thank you for listening. Keep up the excellent work.

Not sure if it's appropriate to post this here, however, I put together a little boot animation with some art resources that Mattie was kind enough to send my direction. Hope you enjoy it! http://www.mediafire.com/watch/4q21n9ppxccrl1c/Aurora.wmv Here is a link to the video on youtube:

Some of you might know us from F3, the soon to be number 2 dashboard replacement for Xbox 360. We are Phoenix, and we bring you Aurora, the new number one dashboard replacement! With Aurora we went back to the core of what a dashboard should do, which is launch your titles, and look fancy while doing that. Aurora boots straight into the title list and uses filters and sort instead of predefined tabs. Written from the ground up it has been optimized to run fast, smooth and stable. This is the first alpha version we want to share with you, while it contains disabled features and probably some bugs, it has proven to be pretty stable already. Features: Boot straight into coverflow Lua scripts for filters, sort methods and subtitles Support locale files to translate the dashboard and skin Custom coverflow layouts Quick browse game list Game details Manage your game list when your devices aren't connected And of course fully compatible with Freestyle Plugin (LiNK) and the new and improved Unity website Disabled features in alpha: View Previews / achievements / related content Please post bugs in the support forum.
