I just successfully RGH 1.2 modded my 360 but I'm not sure how I get my games and alternate dash running off a USB. I would like to use a single 64GB USB for now (probably change this later). I have no internal hard drive, so the Xbox 360 wants to format this to 32GB? What are my best options here? Thanks

Edit: just wanted to thank everyone for their help, and per your suggestions, decided to go with an internal hard drive.

I was pretty sure you had to have an internal to hold either Aurora or FSD, but someone could correct me if I'm wrong. They're pretty cheap on Ebay and such now I would just buy one.

Xex Menu is your next step. You can either copy and paste the file in the correct structure to the usb, or you can format it in the xbox and use Horizon on the comp to inject it. The format is like 0000000000000000/CODE9999/(big ass numerated file) iirc. Been awhile since I started from scratch. Once its installed properly you'll see it in your demos and recent games when the usb is in

Thanks, tried manually copying XexMenu but it doesn't show up on the 360. Horizon is giving me a Virtual Machine error, so that is holding me up for the movement.

I missed something in the structure. My bad, its content/0000000000000000/CODE9999/(big ass file). If you format it in the 360 it'll build the folder structure and you can just copy the big ass numerated file into the right place

Okay, I was able to move XexMenu from one USB to another. Xbox is using my 64GB as a 32GB, but my PC still sees the full 64GB, so I'm guessing now that I got XexMenu, it will utilize the full space. Is there any specific location I need to copy the games to?

I recommend Aurora and then you can put the games anywhere and you add the location of each game and scan it so it can find it. Just be aware if a game is like 5 folders deep you have to change the depth to 5.

Here's a setup tutorial https://www.se7ensins.com/forums/th...-dashboard-w-skins-coverflow-layouts.1459755/

You'll have to register there to get all the files you need I believe, unless they're all in the first link which they may be.

Thanks, is there any benefit to this over FreeStyle.. see they both get mentioned a lot.

I guess it's just personal preference. Unless things have changed the last time I used FSD you had to enter a menu for Xbox 360 games, a different menu for XBLA games etc... while Aurora has all games laid out for you as soon as it launches, and it has some kick ass cover flows I'll take a pick of mine here in a minute it looks like a gaming shelf.

Bad cell phone pic but you get the idea.

There's a bunch of other cover flow options that's just the one I like.

For some reason I just get a black screen launching Aurora off the USB. Got FreeStyle working though. Eventually I want to use an internal hard drive, so it would probably work better with that anyway.

Use dashlaunch to setup Aurora to autoboot. Your in FSD so use that as a launch point.

Aurora works fine from usb

Without internal you wont be able to do a few things.

I have an extra official 120GB (bare drive).. looks like I can solder connectors directly though. Is there anything else special I should know about setting up an internal HDD? Thanks

If its 2.5 inch sata laptop drives they plug in directly into internal HDD port. Format with xbox 360, load fsd and Setup with dashluanch.

I could order an HDD enclosure to make it easier, I just don't have one on hand (only the official bare 2.5" drive).. which is why I was just considering soldering it directly. Is it possible to use a larger 1TB or 2TB drive in the same way? Would there be any issues because they aren't official? Thanks

2tb internal and external limit. Some older WD 4TB 3.5 USB drives also work.

Official bare dirves fit with or without caddy no soldering needed. If you have an older phat 360 drive in caddy then take it out and put it in the slim hdd slot.

Grab DashLaunch 3.20 and put it on the USB you use to boot FreeStyleDash

File Manager and browse to dashlaunch.xex called installer.xex If I remember correctly to load DashLaunch

Set your Aurora autoboot path and save to .ini then exit

Reboot xbox and if done correctly youll see the aurora logo

This is a phat Falcon, not slim. I used the original caddy when updating my Jasper to official 500gb. I have the old slim caddy, but that will do me no good on the phat. So if I plug a 2tb internally, Xbox 360 will format it? I thought 500gb was the limit, or does being RGH'd somehow affect that? Looks like I need to move over the special partition for OG Xbox too.

    @Xdqwerty, Feedback is really important. Getting stuck in your own thoughts too much is unhealthy too. There's a limit though imho. Feedback should be something healthy, if it's giving more harm than good than you should tone down how much you think about other people
