Zane57 0 Posted January 12, 2018 I have bought a 500 G hard drive and transferred games from my old 250G hard drive. 250G had Free Style Dash and Aurora previously. This time I did not add Free Style. The games I have placed in a folder named "Games" . My problem is that the 500G drive does not find the games in Aurora when I scan. Do you need some files from Free Style for Aurora to work correctly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you need some files from Free Style for Aurora to work correctly? try re-installing aurora mate.. it might have the old hdd info still in the DB.. but to answer your question, no, you need nothing from FSD to use aurora, aurora is a standalone dash.. and a lil bit of advice, dont use a "games" folder, name it something like 360games, and such.. "Game" is default location of ran program, "games" is needed for xexmenu iirc.. if you DO use custom folders, i recommend "360Games" and "XBLAGames" or just use the content dir as per usual install Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted January 12, 2018 What is wrong with games? I use games for 360 games, content folder for live and indie, and OGxbox for OG xbox games, Homebrew for homebrew, and Emulators for emulators. Never had an issue with it. Game is a path, but on the hdd, the path is HDD:\game, not Game:\. In that sense it doesnt make a difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it's not always hdd:\game Could be DVD:\game Or USB:\game Lol.. I was saying that "game:\" is the default path for when an app such as reteoarch is loaded.. the default.xex location becomes "game:\" or w.e.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gavin_darkglider 1562 Posted January 12, 2018 I was using HDD:\Games as an example. The HDD part obviously, or not so obviously depending on what you know, could be changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zane57 0 Posted January 12, 2018 OK, Ive tried a few things including what was suggested above. Aurora could not find the games. I'm going to reformat and start again. Hopefully better luck this time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully better luck this time. you shouldnt need to format.. have you tried actually using the file manager to launch a game? the only reason aurora shouldnt find a game, is due to not finding the default.xex or god/xbla container.. EDIT: OR you didnt set the scan depth deep enough.. 9 is a good number Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zane57 0 Posted January 13, 2018 I have reformated and started again. Working now. The games did work on file manager previously and having a longer scan depth work didn't either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If u used a fresh copy of aurora, then no problems should have occurred.. atleast in theory.. lol.. could always be that random bug that was causing the issue..

Zane57 0 Posted January 13, 2018 I think perhaps having started with the Aurora that I used on the previous hard drive was the start of my problems. It may have kept some file someone on the system even though I deleted the folder. Thanks for the help and glad its working well now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
