Simply the best one on this with a brand new subscriber. Great job dude, you're so good at explaining to people new at this, keep it going!
Aaah man seeing you post this makes me even more excited for my Jasper 360 to come in! (comes in on Monday!) I legit ordered it because I haven’t touched a 360 since my two (Opus and Xenon) RROD on me back in 2013 and figured you’d have some good guides to make my return a bit more fun!
Thank you for getting to the point and making everything simple and understandable
You're very welcome!
Excellent. Thank you very much. Been meaning to update my RGH for sometime.
I swear you make the videos just when I'm thinking of messing with my Xbox
😁
Same. I was just about to update freestyle then I got this notification 😃 . Its like you read my mind lol
Jajajajaaja funny man I swear I was going to comment the same thing!!!! Waiting for all the stuff to arrive this week to rgh my box!!!!
Happened to me with the ps3
@@MrMario2011 u know u can play xbox orginal emulated games and xbox live arcade games on xex men 1.1 and 1.2 Right?
Every time i need help, this channel solves it all ! I wish i had this type of teaching in college a long time ago but that's another story. Long live to this channel !
Happy to hear that!
I never really got into modding my consoles by my self, always payed someone who is well known for doing those kind of things.
But videos like this always stay interesting to me. Nice tutorial 👌
Glad these help!
hi mr mario, i cannot describe how to thank you, this was my first time getting my hands on a 360, modding and playing the 360. and it has been a journey from my modding experience, there has been some set backs and lots of confusion and desperation, for example i really cant copy the same steps as explained here simply because my dash is outdated, my kernel is outdated etc. it took me 4 days to finally getting everything setup from just freestyle 3 to aurora just like this video. thank you mr mario.
Glad you're up to speed now!
Thanks for the video. Just paid someone to RGH my 360 and they put on some type of firmware that was all blue and got you onto some weird version of xbox live, but I wasn't interested in that. So I formatted my hard drive with my PC, then followed along to this video and I'm loving my 360 with Aurora.
Sounds like Shield, which is a stealth service that allows you to get on Xbox Live even if your console is banned.
Literally saw this video without being logged in when it got uploaded and I gotta say the timing is insane. I have been waiting 3 years to RGH my system and last week I just did and this video is like right on time
Hope you enjoyed it!
How did you rgh yours
Thanks, RGH'd my Jasper yesterday and didn't know what to do after! The links were most helpful as I found it hard to gather the tools to troubleshoot my NAND since almost all links were broken/dated.
How did you rgh yours
@@officialbigtencommissioner4621 Coolrunner rev c from the weekend modder.
Aurora is fantastic. Glad you still keeping the 360 scene alive
I'm only a messenger, thank the devs!
@@MrMario2011 for sure but it's nice to see some new 360 vids. I used one your videos a couple years back to rgh my 360 and all went well and boots almost instantly every time 👍👍
@@MrMario2011can u go online in aurora in 2024 the rest is just from 2014
Two more things:
1. On the Flash Drive, on the computer - create a Folder called Apps - then place aurora, dashlaunch, xellaunch and xexmenu into it. This way you just have to copy this "Apps" folder to the internal harddrive - it's all in one go then and you don't have to create a folder on the xbox - it's much easier and faster when you do it before on the computer.
2. He forgot to copy the content folder to the internal harddisk.
The rest is fine.
⛔️🙂Hello..please tell me where to put CONTENT folder?I am new here
Why would he need to copy the content folder? The only thing stored there was XeXMenu in Demo format, and that was copied to the hard drive anyway. The only purpose of that folder is to interface with the regular Xbox 360 dashboard, and therefore allow XeXMenu to run on the system. Why would it need to be copied, when not only are the contents useless (due to the other XeXMenu) but also have already been copied?
I love that you still make videos for the 360 it still needs love it’s a fantastic piece of kit
I still got love for this thing!
MrMario2011 same even though I’m on the latest aurora I have to watch this video just because it’s a mrmario upload lol sending love from the U.K.
🙏
Mr Mario youre the best out here. clean voice and real tutorial. youre a teacher basically for my ps3 aswell. thanks man
Thank you ♥️
@@MrMario2011 Salute!
Extremely helpful (as always!). Love your channel. Thanks for all the help you provide. Happy Holidays!
Thanks for hanging out! Happy Holidays!
MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE DIED BUT I JUST USED MY USB INSTEAD AND VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS VID TO GET BACK THE AURORA
Very helpful. Thank you
Awesome video keep up the good work !
Thank you very much, everything works just it's up to date versions and without XeXMenu file, only live but it's perfect. Thanks a lot!
I just got my first rgh 360 and loving it. Backed up all my games but still can't get my added games to show up consistently in the cover flow. I'll do scan it'll show for little bit then if I go into a game or reboot it doesn't stay for some reason. I can still play them using file manager so I'm glad there there.
Hey, thanks for the video. It's all pretty intuitive but it's nice to have a walkthrough for it. I struggled a lot with setting up my original Xbox after I hacked it lol so it's nice to not have the pain this time around.
I've only just gotten around to hacking my Xbox360 after having your "how to RGH trinity Xbox" on my watch list for years. Thanks for your hard work.
Glad it helped!
Thank you! This is best video about Aurora and DashLaunch
Glad you think so!
just got an xbox360 RGH and this video has really helped to understand what is what .. im allways worried i will push a wrong button and mess things up lol
Herzlichen Dank Mario ! From now on you have more 1 subscriber ! Great tutorial! Cheers !
Thanks for joining in!
thanks a lot man.this video helped me to have to have smooth transition from fsd 3 to aurora.👍👍
Glad it helped!
The intro is awesome mario
Dude youre a really good teacher :) thanks for it.
You're very welcome!
you're amazing! thank you ! just did the complete RGH hack and Aurora launcher install...works like a charm on a Falcon
Great 👍
Can you do a video on CFW for the Nintendo Wii. You're the only guy I can trust with these tutorials.👍
Great tutorial! Always appreciate your content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing tutorial
Just what I was looking for, thank you.
You are welcome!
Thanks bro. Big help!
Aurora is just fine & kinda right for everybody. However I do like Freestyle dash so much better because of the nostalgia themes like the NXE & blades.
yooo this VIDEO IS 100%100 PRO i love it thank you so much
thank you! it works!
Thank you Mr.Mario
You are very helpful
Have a nice day
Have fun!
Many thanks for this
Can you also make an updated video soon how to extract an iso into file format please
thank you so much deserved a good sub
This guide is awesome thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Mr mario, i have a question: is there a way to make it so that when you hover over a game on the dashboard a custom background appears behind it? amazing video thanks for the help!
Awesome video, thanks so much! Do you have any tips on how to get retro emulators working on with/through Aurora?
Same setup as apps, put into a folder and add it to path.
I got a weird thing going on mate. When I format the USB, it is not the same as yours. I get a hidden folder called XBOX360 and a few Data files inside of it. If I try to copy anything over it just tells me I need another 34.4mb of space. I tried it on 3 dif USB sticks, all copy the files, none I can transfare?
The latest dash update formats like this, that's all I can tell you.
@@MrMario2011 I managed to get around it by FTP'ing the files to the Internal drive. I then copied the files as guided to HDD1 and its all installed etc, set the paths etc, set the ini. But Aurora does not want to play ball. Just says you need to download the game again. For context , I dont think Im on the latest dash, if anything I think its very old. Here is the info given in DashLaunch:
Board: Jasper
Flash: Jasper
Type: JTAG
Kernal: 2.0.14719.0
Do I need to update you think for this to work, or go with another launcher etc?
@@MrMario2011 Fear not! For I have been on a journey to the darkest regions of the 360
It was my dash like you said. I had to go around the houses by FTP'ing to get it set up. Aurora cant run on that early dash. So I learned how to flash my Nand with the latest dash etc and now I'm all up and running with a clean install and a 2TB drive ready to rip all my games onto.
Thank you so much for the help with the HW, SW, and all involved in these videos. You have well and truly got my systems up and running to the max... just the way I like it. Plus leaned muchos about the intricacies of the 360 along my merry travels too.
God speed MrMario.... godspeed.
@@SimplyAustins Can you help me ? I am having this same issue. Please if you could explain step by step i would be so grateful. Thanks in advance.
There's a Solution using Horizon
The video which I was trying to find out by searching 😂😂... But I got this as recommendation.... Btw Owsm mods... Thanks buddy 😊
Mario, the folder you select for the path is scan level 0, not 1. So you can subtract 1 from all your scan depths =). Love ya bro!
Thank you from the botom of my heart ❤
U saved me
How we install games with usb
Same process as shown here, just on a USB drive.
Love your videos,you seem very knowledgeable about what you doing,how did you jailbreak your xbox 360?
It isn't called a jailbreak. You have to hardmod it, which requires soldering. Look up RGH and go from there.
hi, you helped me so much, thank you! but a little question: what I insert on the plugins on dashlaunch? (sorry for bad English, I'm Italian :D)
Thanks brother, will try these tomorrow, hope it works for a Jtag 250gb one. Thanks again.
Have fun!
Thanks for the reply bro.. @@MrMario2011 👍
Just finished what you showed, did it verbatim, worked like a charm... @@MrMario2011 ❤
Man you deserve a like and sub for this it was probably the most down to the bottom explanation i myself got into this when i realized how easy it is to do such coding and such and can you explain how I can make the Aurora set as default instead of it show me Xbox Home there
I believe I showed that in here?
@@MrMario2011 Yeah u did lol my bad, can you tell me how to add skins to the dashboard
Excellent tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
When I format the USB, I get a hidden folder called XBOX360 and a few Data files inside of it. What should I do in this case?
Man idk
Same problem here. There is an Xbox360 folder and the usbbstick seems full when plugged in PC.
So seems now updated software for the consoles don't allow formatting. I formatted with another console that I already used before to format a USB but it won't read on the other console
Thx it worked❗
Hey man I love your vids been watching since 2016 when I bought my rgh I recently hopped back on idk why but everytime I go into aurora and try to setup my hdd1/games path it crashes any ideas how to fix great vid btw
Hi, can you install aurora on a rgh xbox with blade dashboard? Or do you have to be on the latest dashboard?
Thanks a lot!
It's so ridiculous for some reason whenever I go to the USB stick the always seems to have a habit of going into the first menu which is content doesn't shows anything else coarse slapped my face and I realised if I press the d-pad it would have shown up the rest of the files but yeah great video easier to understand most of the videos I came across her way too confusing I really appreciate it tutorial it helped a lot
Can you please make a video about how to Clone a RGH drive, and maintain Cover Art without redownloading? There doesn't seem to be any reliable tutorials on this. Maintaining a backup drive is important for future preservation.
Hey, Mr. Mario, great tutorial as always! Thanks!
Now that I've installed everything & am on Aurora, I cannot return to the original menu by going to System Settings (it just closes the home button menu). Any other way to get back to the original home?
Se position as You, hopefully you found a solution to it
This method is still working ... I just change my fsd3 to aurora much better than fsd3 ... Ty
You're welcome!
Thank you for the video.
Do you have a tutoriaal for installing multiple disc games?
Hi mate, I just figured out recently how it's done. Which one are you planning to add?
@@rs1channel hey, I was trying to add Alien Isolation
I only watch your xbox videos. They are perfect for bacround things i play them while i play games. (today i was watching about xbox 360 dvd fashing) even your old videos are top quality. So keep making vids about xbox 360 or i wont have what to watch when i paly XD.
🙏
thank you so much for the video you should definitely subscribe to this guy!👍
You Sire are a hero, i still need to update my JTAG Dasboard and software. By the way is there a good working Dreamcast emulator for the Xbox 360, all i see projects that where never finished.
I haven't attempted DC emulation on mine.
@@MrMario2011 Sorry for the late reply, thanks for your reaction. Any plans for a video about emulation on the Xbox 360??
Orignal Xbox emulation is where RGH/JTAG’s shine. Unfortunately the emulation scene is pretty stagnant. But between the XBOX, 360, and XBLA catalog u can get ur DC fix.
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Such a helpful video, thanks @mrmario2011! Only question would be how to handle multi-disc games like Blue Dragon or Lost Odyssey using the Aurora Disc to GOD installer script? Or is there a better way? Thanks again!
Both discs can be ripped over normally, and disc switching will automatically happen in game.
@@MrMario2011 thank you very much for clarifying
Thanks mam, very useful... 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
Thank you very much :D
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot...... much love
You're most welcome
Thanks 👏
You're welcome!
Am I the only one that finds Aurora less intuitive and more difficult to utilize than freestyle was? I honestly want to go back. Can anyone explain why they think Aurora is better?
It isn't as intuitive in some ways, but it has active development on it. None of the others stay up to date.
I agree man , you can can do all of this in freestyle without jumping through xmenu
I honestly hate aurora. One thing I really liked about freestyle was the tons of different skins for it. Aurora doesn't have skins per say. Different backgrounds and subtle color changes, but it still looks the same. I love being able to have my dash either be blades, nxe, xbox one style, etc. Aurora doesn't have any skins that are different.
@@s2601d Where exactly did you see that? I have been into updating as well. Thanks
@@s2601d I would like a link to this too, please
excelent video! thanks. But there is not that easy if you have xbox360 without HDD. I have FLASH, and I cannot create folder there. If you don't have HDD, you can leave all files on usb stick. Without removing it at all.
i have problem . when i enter dash lauch and adjust settings and click b button i enter the blank screen
I already have an rgh. But I watch anyway

thank you ❤
Welcome!
thank you :)
You're welcome!
Hey. Going to RGH-mod a slim 360 soon based on your videos.
In this video you show that blocking live (online) features are by default turned on. Then you continue by showing how you add apps/scripts to Aurora (downloading from the internet i presume?) and also find a game update for King Kong. How was that done if online is blocked? Or is internet and Live not the same thing here? Hope you have time to answer. Great vids!
Xbox Live is blocked, internet is not.
Following on from this video. Do you have any more tips tricks and useful things to know about please?
I'm interesting in modding my Slim, it's a Trinity wish a DG-16D4S and Dash version 2.0.17511.0.
Watching!!!
Based
The only thing I can't do is change the game category, I have some homebrew apps showing up in the XBOX 360 section and a XBOX 360 games showing up in the XBOX live arcade section. Could you please do a video on how to edit the Content Database file?
Hi Mario I have a question I have a 360 rgh with 250gb . Is there a way I can clone the 250gb to a 2.5 1tb hard drive internal . Do u have a tutorial video?
Thx a lot man!!
Now i need to find a way to add emulators on my xbox.
Also I have a problem, I'm playing on a "borne arcade" and I have my stick (player one) not recognized by my console... The second one work perfectly.... Any idea how to solve that problem? I mean I need to reconfigure it... Do you know where can I go into the menu to assign buttons??? Hope you can help me @Mr mario...
i get "corrupted demo" when i try to open xex menu ¿does anyone know how to fix that?
thanks bro
i did everything right but i try to copy tghe demo said its corrupted
best video on how to get everything set up, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I have a small problem with Aurora, when i try to access the OG dashboard via system settings it just throws me back into Aurora. How can i fix it? I hate restarting my system and do the RB button method everytime i need to go to system settings
hi, I went as far as transferring the hard disk to the xbox 360 by inserting all the files you said precisely. In the xbox I understand that XeX is damaged and I cannot go forward, why?
Still on fsd since I was unable make some dashboards like Blades work on it. It wont support most features that FSD does I guess. Sure Aurora is better for beginner and I say practise with Aurora first since it's more beginner friendly then move to FSD once experience like me.
FSD isn't even supported anymore though
If you want to use Xbox live or at least use the internet, should you disable all the ones that are enabled? The liveblock, livestrong, xhttp & nonestone?
Can I format an internal drive and start over as in I have a console with rgh but want to start scratch like install xex then dashlaunch then aurora
So when you download xex and aurora on your windows laptop it’s going to change your background on your home screen or no?
I tried downloading Aurora, but the xex file keeps getting corrupted.
*edit* Found another link on their site.
Also, your videos helped me install my RGH and get everything setup, thank you for the videos!
How did you fix it
hi, when i set aurora at launch.ini and quit, it reboots and says an error "the game couldn't start". do you know how to solve this?
Litterally bougut parts to mod my xbox last night always coming in clutch
Woo!
Thanks for great tutorial video bro.yet after did all the steps meticuluosly..I can launch aurora however when I press X box button cant find aurora home..still freestyle home.fyi Im using Frstyle 3 but cant format/configure flashdisk ..wht should I do then? Pls kindly help
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. Work like a charm! But what happen to the "CODE9999" folder? I don't see it being copy to the xbox..
Thanks for this tutorial.
I already have Aurora setup by the previous owner of my JTAG 360, but i'm looking to delete it and start fresh. Could I format my hard disk from the MS Dashboard and then follow this tutorial?
Sure.
@@MrMario2011 Awesome, thanks 👍
Got a fresh install of Aurora running now!
