RGH: orig XBOX game goes to black and back to Aurora

[danrob]

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.

Perhaps said games aren't BC?
Using the hacked emulator or the stock one?

Not every original Xbox game works, this is normal.

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.

 

[CoolMe]

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.

Where can I find the latest compatibility version? What else should I try?

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

 

[Jayinem]

What is the big secret why not say the game(s)? Something you haven't done the entire thread.

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.?

i know there is brothers in arms and it is not compatible but i tried about 20 games and still the same.

Did you set up the compatibility partition? It is required to play original Xbox backups on RGH.

I did everything exaclty like here :
Got compatibility folders etc. Will try PAL version and maybe with component cable instead of HDMI.
