I did a search here but didn't find an answer to my broblem.

I have other original xbox games and they work fine. I have the compatibility folders, I tried changing resolutions, but some original xbox games will go to black and then back to Aurora. no error msg.

If you have any idea for other things I can try I'll be grateful.

Thank you for your replies. The said OG XB game is in the BC list.
I'm using the compatibility folder on the HDDX.

Is there something else I can try?

You using OG discs?
You can try updating the xbox compatibility files to the latest version, not saying it'll fix it but maybe starting fresh could.
Assuming your discs aren't to blame here, could be a video mode/region issue. We need more details regarding that.
Also just for the sake of testing, you can try downloading a digital version of your game and see if it works, the problem could be just with reading discs/ or disc drive etc.

Thank you @CoolMe, not OG disks. It's a digital version. Where can I find the latest compatibility version? What else should I try?
Thanks again.

not OG disks. It's a digital version.
Try re-downloading it then, or DL from a different source, sometimes rars get corrupt during DL.

Here.
You have a PAL 360 or NTSC? If it's PAL, playing some NTSC games might result in a blackscreen. It also depends on the TV you have, if it's an hdtv and the the console is set to 50hz, that'd present issues running 60hz games, you have to use composite cables (not hdmi) to change to 60hz (yea, pretty dumb move by MS)..

Thank you. It's a PAL but I thought that it doesn't matter with RGH. Basically, when I start the game, I see the OG XBOX logo on the screen, then it goes to black and back to the Aurora dash. I'll try composite when I find the cable :D

The same for me. XBOX screen then aurora restart. Did you find resolve?
More details. Happens with all OG Xbox games? NTSC and PAL?
Do you have a PAL or NTSC 360?
You have the Xbox backwards compatibility files installed etc.?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
