Hacking OG Xbox Games black screen on RGH

[Flame]

so i upgrade my harddrive to 2TB recently. ive done the HDD Compatibility Partition Fixer. copied the Hacked Compatability Files to the right place.

but for some reason i get black screen every time i start a game. im using Aurora Dashboard. i tried both GTA 3 and Vice City, both the same.

i'm in my wits end.

did you enable hddx when copying the compatibility files over?

did you enable hddx when copying the compatibility files over?

how do i enable it?

 

[godreborn]

should be in settings somewhere. I don't use Aurora, but I did use Aurora to get the compatibility files over to the hdd. they don't seem to transfer if you don't enable hddx, even though it says that they were. I think the reason for the black screen is not installing the official update of your kernel version to get that stuff, including avatar stuff, on to the new hdd, then if it's failing with the hacked compatibility files, it's not seeing any xbox emulator.

 

[godreborn]

did you find it? I think it may be under a special option to enable access to things like the flash, hddx, memory card units, etc. I can't recall the exact name of it, but it's not specifically for hddx from what I remember.

i did everything again. nope.

maybe i should install FSD for OG Xbox games or something

 

[godreborn]

I don't know. I use fsd only.

Is your avatar a grey silhouette?

Is your avatar a grey silhouette?

no i picked my own. did i mess up by doing that

 

[godreborn]

No, the hdd update is installed then.

 

[Flame]

okay i setup FSD and did everything.

same thing. black screen

when i do press the guide button. it just open up but nothing

I could be forgetting about a step. I have a 1TB hdd with my jtag, and it's been like that since the beginning, so it's been a very long time for me. @DinohScene or @aadz93 may remember better than I. those are two of the most knowledgeable people I know of with the 360. dinoh may have a tutorial on injecting partition 2, and what to do after that. I just can't quite remember much beyond that.

 

[Flame]

thanks bro. i appreciate the help

even tho i couldnt get it to work.

 

[godreborn]

found a comprehensive tutorial, and that's included by dinoh: https://gbatemp.net/threads/setting-up-freestyle-dash.350470/

looks like you did everything correctly, so I'm not sure what could be wrong.

are you sure you're using the right files, and make sure you're using the latest bc files, i never had any issues

check your iso too maybe

I don't know if party buffalo would work or fatxplorer with a drive that large. I think the latter will divide content into partition 1, 2, and 3, and it will at least confirm that partition 2 is on the drive.

@Flame , I just took this pic. here's the setting "File Manager Advanced Mode" (at least in FSD, but I know Aurora has it as well):

turn it off once done as it has been known to cause problems if left on iirc.

I am having this same issue. I see the setting in FSD but I do not see the setting in Aurora to enable the Hddx.
