Corona V2 + FSD3 is creating duplicate content game paths

Recommended Posts

Good evening,

I want to report a bug which I've seen with 2 Corona V2 (so 4GB, no 16mb nand) RGH I've done this week.

I installed freeboot 2.0.16202 on it. Nothing special.

Since FSD cannot boot directly from the OnboardMU on this console type, I used an USB fat32 formatted 500gb harddrive.

launch.ini and fsd folder in the root of the harddrive, turn on the harddrive, turn on the xbox and it glitches and starts FSD3.

Note that I have a folder XBOX360/games on the root of the USB harddrive. In that directory are a few games.

I then go to the appropriate section in FSD to add USB0:\XBOX360\games to the game paths, select XBOX360 as type and press X to save it. And then it happens : not only is USB0:\XBOX360\games added to my game paths, but also SysExt:\XBOX360\games AND OnboardMU:\XBOX360\games.

Thinking, ah.. bug.. never mind. I let the XBOX find the covers (which it does). When I then go to the games part to see if the covers were downloaded correctly I see the two games that are on my HDD. But.. in the details it says 'OnboardMU : <hexcode i forgot>'.

Trying to start the game will fail, because OnboardMU of course doesn't have the game.

Same applies to the other game.

When I go back to the game path settings and remove the OnboardMU: reference, all three references are deleted !

Exact same procedure on a Trinity and a Falcon this week and not a single problem, so it would seem this is a 4GB nand console problem with FSD3 ?

I don't know if this was already known, but here you go :) I tried the latest release of FSD3 as well as an older one (september 2012).

I have now put the latest FSD 2.2 on this Corona V2 and that works a charm.

If you need more info or want me to test something, shout. I've done resets, cleans and delete the FSD folder altogether but nothing helped.

This is a bug that has been reported previously. I suspect that it is an issue with the storage device scanning routine and a HD that does not respond in a timely manner. I base this on the fact that I only see the issue occur when I have an external USB hard drive attached. Also when the USB HD is attached, the Xbox takes much longer (like 2 minutes instead of 10 seconds) for the profile login message to appear after the animated logo appears on boot up.

It has not been fixed or really even acknowledged by the devs. I provided a bunch of details in another thread in hopes that they would help troubleshoot the issue.

The only temporary work around is to delete the content.db database file and rebuild it. Unfortunately that takes me several hours so I made a backup of the file and replace the bad one when it gets corrupted.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone :)

You could have a point actually, the 500gb harddrive is a fairly old one. And yes, it takes a while for the XBOX to continue loading after the initial XBOX Logo, but I always see this behaviour when using external storage devices, so I didn't think much of it.

Isn't content.db in the fsd folder or is it in the root of the device ? (I didn't check yet..). If it's in the fsd folder then the workaround doesn't really work, since I deleted/renamed the fsd folder multiple times while testing and it still f*d up the gamepaths.

It's too bad actually, something in FSD3 broke the old working behaviour, since it was no problem in FSD 2.2.
