The Xbox 360 Homebrew Store by Derf is an Aurora script that allows you to download homebrew games, apps, dashboards, and emulators straight to your console.

Usage

To download the homebrew store, simply open the Aurora dashboard, press the Back button > Scripts > Aurora Repo Browser > Utility Scripts > Xbox 360 Homebrew Store. It will automatically download the script and it will be available to run.

Alternatively, you can download the files directly from this page and put them in your scripts folder, located at User\Scripts\Utility\ where Aurora is installed.

Hosting your own Repo

The script was made to be flexible so anyone can host their own repos with whatever kind of content they want.

Main repo file

This is the main file that points to the submenus. A user will enter the URL for this file into their homebrew store script to download it. Example main file.

name:      // Name of submenu of repo, e.g. "Apps"
iniurl:    // URL to submenu of repo
type:      // Type of content
  App           // Installs to user's specified Applications folder or /Apps/
  Homebrew      // Installs to user's specified Homebrew folder or /Homebrew/
  Emulator      // Installs to user's specified Emulators folder or /Emulators/
  Game          // Installs to /Games/
  PublicProfile // Installs to /Content/0000000000000000/
  Profile       // Installs to /Content/<profile ID>/ of signed-in user
  Other      // Custom path specified in the "path" field of the item
reload:    // Asks to restart Aurora after install, to re-scan paths

Submenu files

These files are the submenus which contain a listing of all the content for that submenu. Example submenu file.

Any files listed in the dataurl or dataurlpart# fields will be placed at the location specified in path or part#path. If they are 7z files, they will be extracted to that location, preserving the folder structure inside the 7z file. File names must not contain ! or +. Entries also must be written as below, as they are case sensitive.

Note that only un-split <350MB 7z files are supported, but individual files can be of any size and you can have an unlimited number of parts.

You can use the Python 3 script File:God2Ini.txt to bulk generate ini files for one or more games.

[]                // A unique title to differentiate the listing from others.
itemTitle=        // The title of the content that is displayed in the store.
itemVersion=      // [optional] The version number that is displayed in the store.
itemAuthor=       // [optional] The author name that is displayed in the store.
itemSize=         // [optional] The size of the item for user awareness (e.g. "500MB" or "1GB").
path=             // The folder the content will be extracted to (for 7z files) or placed in (for other files). Folder(s) will be created if they don't already exist.
part2path=        // [optional] The folder the specified part will be extracted to (for 7z files) or placed in (for other files).
part3path=        //            Folder(s) will be created if they don't already exist. 
itemDescription=  // [optional] A description that is displayed in the store.
dataurl=          // The URL where the data is downloaded from. 7z files are accepted.
dataurlpart2=     // [optional] An unlimited number of <350MB parts can be served up under one item
dataurlpart3=     //            by labelling them as "dataurlpart" followed by numbers.
