Hacking Xbox 360 game rips crash in FSD

[britain4]

OK after having a huge headache getting my 360 RGH'd and not crashing in the dashboard, I have a new issue. Games run from disc perfectly fine but crash when ripped to the hard drive and run in FSD

I have the latest Dashlaunch installed set to launch FSD by default.

The game I'm using as an example is Fable II, it plays just fine from disc. When I try to rip the game in FSD it stops at 100% and I have to press B to close the window. Not sure if this is normal behaviour or not. When I try to play the game it seems to load fine up until I go through the menus and it crashes at the same point every time on the loading screen - says "fatal crash intercepted"

I can't see this being my wiring setup as surely that would affect games run from disc too?

Any help much appreciated

What about as god from the regular dashboard?

Haven't tried that, sounds worth a shot.

Just converting the game now, if it loads then what am I doing wrong with FSD?

On the surface I'd say check the FSD build.

Try Aurora instead?

I could give it a go but I've tried launching from both FSD and xexmenu with the same result. Or do you mean rip the game with Aurora?

That didn't work, crashes immediately when I select the game

Have you followed me tut on installing FSD?

You could try converting it into a GOD game and try it on Aurora.

most likely a dashlaunch problem. there's an option for fatal crash that asks if u want the console to freeze or to reboot when one is encountered. my suggestion is to reflash the console (without dashlaunch), and see if it happens again.

Indeed I have. However I have just tried launching the game with Aurora and it seems to work perfectly!

I also tried ripping another game (FlatOut Ultimate Carnage) and running it through FSD and that seems to work just fine too.

However I didn't get it to work before it corrupted my Fable save and I think I've deleted the backup

 

[DinohScene]

Hmm, I know some games got some issues, remedied by converting it to a GOD

 

[britain4]

Hmm that's weird then. Don't want to speak too soon but it looks like Aurora might be working for me.

What if you just install it to HDD as a regular 360 would. Does it play installed (so long as the disc is in (but from the install not directly from disc))?

 

[DinohScene]

Aurora is more up to date then FSD.
FSD's weather API also finally kicked the bucket unfortunately ;/

AFAIK, that's more or less a GOD but with the license patched. Unless there's an issue with patching, it should still work.

Might be worth a shot though, debugging wise.

 

[britain4]

I haven't tried playing it from the official disc install since I hacked the console but have been playing it that way for months.

I'd imagine it's also more up to date than the xexmenu I'm using too, could do with checking I've got the latest version of that

XeXmenu is useless.
It's pretty much only used for people who do not use FSD/Aurora.
And to copy FSD to the internal drive ;p

Haha yes I quickly figured this out slowly getting used to 360 hacking now after downgrading my PS3 a couple of weeks ago.

Still puzzled why my GPU is running so hot for no apparent reason... around 10-15 degrees C higher when in a game. Although I can comfortably keep it running at 55 I still feel like trying out an older heatsink with the heat pipes on?

 

[DinohScene]

Older heatsink with heatpipe gives you an opportunity to mount a 40 mm fan on the 2nd heatsink.
Combined with a hole (with fangrill on it) helps a lot with cooling.
You could make a small duct by taping a playing card over the GPU heatsink and fanduct.

That's a good idea I'll try that thank you. I'm not surprised it's hotter than the CPU with such a pathetic small heatsink.

I have read a couple of other temperature reports with similar results on a Jasper (GPU >10 degrees higher than the CPU). I have learned they started producing the Jasper with the twin GPU heatsink but then switched back to the single one presumably to cut costs? So I've ordered the twin one and a 40mm fan to give that a whirl. Apparently I already have the best CPU cooler so I'll leave that as is.

Will try the 40mm fan connected to 12v but will probably just connect it to the console fan to keep noise down.

Currently have max GPU temp set to 55 degrees C in Dashlaunch and it keeps it comfortably around that while gaming with a perfectly acceptable fan level. Definitely well below 65%

 

[DinohScene]

I'd solder it to 7v or splice it to the other fans.
40mm fans can be really annoying at 12v ;p
