Help with aurora

Recommended Posts

So I made a huge mess with my xbox 360, I had the oldest aurora and used xexmenu to just copy and paste the newest aurora. What I had to do to launch it properly was to manually go into content manager and run the aurora.xex. So Im wondering if someone could please give me a guide on how to delete everything aurora related (no games) and freshly install it again. 

btw when I start up my xbox it opens the old aurora and nothing works there. I currently cant even open the file manager because it doesnt even shows up in the xbox botton. It wont even show up the temperatures.

 

 

thanks alot

did that and it worked at first, but when I turned off my 360 it booted back in the old aurora. Also if you press the xbox botton on your controller you see theres a few options there like file manage, temperatures, etc. Well that doesnt show up in mine anymore. I was playing fable this morning and when I tried to get back to aurora .5 it didnt showed up anymore.

Sounds like you either have another launch.ini or you didn't point dashlaunch correctly.

Can you post your launch.ini (using spoiler tags) and let me know the exact path of your Aurora install.

Also check your hdd, usb and flash for a second launch.ini. Should only need to check the root of each.

ok will do, but could you please tell me where can I find the launch.ini? Do I open it or something? Could we chat via skype or anything?

FTP in or use a file manager to check the three locations I just mentioned. If you don't know how to ftp in then just use a file manager in Dashlaunch, FSD or XEXMenu and just copy it to a flash drive and put it on your PC. Then you can open it with a standard text editor and copy/paste it here inside spoiler tags (third icon from top left in the reply window)

I have a launch.ini in 2 locations, the flash, and the hdd1, theres nothing on my usb. My aurora directory is Xbox360/System/Hdd1/Aurora do I copy both to my pc?

I have a launch.ini in 2 locations, the flash, and the hdd1, theres nothing on my usb. My aurora directory is Xbox360/System/Hdd1/Aurora do I copy both to my pc?

 

That's what I figured. So open Dashlaunch again and make sure the changes are set for your default dash under paths, then go back to the save/load screen and make sure you save it in hdd:1. You will probably notice a checkmark next to the one that is currently loaded, that one is the one that's most likely wrong. 

 

edit: One is overriding the other and going to FSD

check your PM

Somehow your Freestyle plugin isn't loading then. Make sure it's set to load on launch in Aurora... make sure it's even there in Aurora/Plugins.

Also make sure to do a full reboot

You can check what plugins/modules are loaded by pressing back button while on Aurora's main screen.

Actually I think the Dashlaunch plugin is responsible for temps.

It's the FSD Plugin that's responsible for ALL visual HUD changes, Dashlaunch have a feature that if you press and hold the guide button it'll popup a messagebox showing you all the temperatures... but... that's not the same as this ;)

Also, you don't have to do anything to the one in Flash:\, it should probably just be ignored as any writes to flash have a chance to corrupt it (the chance is fairly small, but should be avoided if possible)... a launch.ini on HDD1:\ will override anything in Flash, a launch.ini on USB#:\ will override anything on any other device, you can see which one is read first in the readme

I couldn't remember dashlaunch or FSD, was scratching my head thinking maybe dashlaunch sends the info, but FSD displays it. Oh well, now i know. Thanks Swizzy.

Yeah, I knew USB would override, but wasn't sure if flash was read before hdd or visa versa. I checked the readme and info_launch.ini, but probably skimmed over it too fast, lolz. In that case it sounds like he was writing changes to flash before, but it was reading from hdd1 when launching. I'll make sure not to recommend writing to flash in the future, makes troubleshooting easier anyways now that I know the ini read order.
