Hello. I recently bought a copy of Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce. I tried running off the disc and was getting some stuttering in the opening FMV, so I decided to rip the disc to the HDD. I used Aurora Disc to GOD to do this. Once the game was done ripping, I started it back up from the HDD, removing the disc to make sure that it was from the HDD.

When in the game the controller doesn't seem to be able to interact with the game at all. I can open the guide and control that, as well as use the screenshot button combo to capture screenshots, but I cannot get anything to happen in game. I have tried my wireless and wired controllers, both of which are official and working otherwise. I also tried unplugging my Kinect in case it was interfering somehow.

I really don't know what the issue could be, especially since the controllers work perfectly fine anywhere else on the system, and in other games. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Just bumping this back to the top. I still have not been able to figure anything out with this game,
Post automatically merged:

Just to verify, I installed a Redump copy of the game and the same issue occurs. So it is not something specific to my disc or the files contained on it.

Yes, I tried it off the disc again after the install wasn't working. The FMV actually worked fine that time, but still nothing from any controller.

Again, to be clear, EVERY other game I have played on this 360 works with every controller I have. Only this has caused any issue.

Silly question but what kinds of Xbox 360 motherboard do you have? I’ve heard slims(corona boards specifically) can have some issues with random games

Most notably rockband and just dance

Bumping this with an update:

I tried the same disc on my buddy's stock 360 Slim, the MW3 edition, and it worked just fine and was able to get to the menu, select options, and play no issues.

So something about my modded system seems to be the culprit. Has there ever been reports of plugins messing with games or anything?

Someone recommended I try without my hard drive attached, which somehow never occurred to me. The disc works perfectly without the hard drive attached.

I then deleted all data related to the game from the hard drive and tried again and once again am unable to affect the game. So it has something to do with data on my hard drive, but not pertaining to the game specifically.

Any ideas on what files could affect a game like this?

Got it working!

Clearing the cache didn't do anything. So I tried going into the settings panel under the game's details page in Aurora and Enabled "Settings Override". I didn't check any other boxes in this panel. Loading the game with "Settings Override" enabled made the game finally recognize inputs properly, letting me get into the game.

I assume this means that one of the plugins that this is disabling is the problem. Don't know what one specifically, but this got the game working so I'm happy for now.
