This guide explains how to set up and play Xbox 360 ISO games over a network using Aurora 0.7b. It works seamlessly on both Windows PCs and Raspberry Pi setups.
Requirements
- A Windows PC or Raspberry Pi (for hosting ISO files)
- A modified Xbox 360
- DashLaunch already installed
- Aurora 0.7b dashboard already installed
- Modified Nova.xex and NetISO Files by ConfusionRS
Setup Instructions
Aurora Setup
- Download and unzip the linked Nova.xex and NetISO files.
- Edit
NetISO.xex.txt
to include your computer or server's IP address. - Replace the
nova.xex
file in Aurora's plugins directory (e.g. underhdd1/apps/aurora/plugins
) on your console with the modifiednova.xex
from the download. - Copy
NetISO.xex
andNetISO.xex.txt
to Aurora's plugins directory.
DashLaunch Setup
- Open DashLaunch on your Xbox 360.
- Navigate to Path -> Default and select the
aurora.xex
file from thehdd1/apps/aurora/
folder if not already selected. - Go to Plugins and set
NetISO.xex
as the first plugin in the list (Plugin1). - Save the configuration by pressing RB, selecting the HDD, and pressing X.
- Restart your console.
Server Setup
(Option 1) Windows PC
- Place your ISO files in a single directory on your PC. You can have any folder structure you want within this directory.
- Place
server.exe
in the same directory as your ISO files and launch it. A command prompt window will open, listing your ISO files and the server will show your Xbox 360's IP and indicate a successful connection.
(Option 2) Raspberry Pi
- Place your ISO files in a single directory on your Raspberry Pi. You can have any folder structure you want within this directory.
- Install Wine and Box86 on your Raspberry Pi to run
server.exe
. A guide for this can be found on PiMyLifeUp.- If you're using a 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, ensure the kernel is configured with a 4K page size, as x86 code won't run otherwise.
- Place
server.exe
in the same directory as your ISO files and launch it. The terminal will list your ISO files and the server will show your Xbox 360's IP and indicate a successful connection.
Usage
- Launch Aurora on your Xbox 360.
- Press the Xbox Guide button on your controller and navigate to File Browser and select NetISO. Your games should now appear in the list.
- Select a game and mount it (this may take up to 10 seconds).
- Launch the game from the Aurora dashboard.
Notes and Limitations
- A Raspberry Pi 5 will work well, but earlier Raspberry Pi units may also work. Please update this note if earlier ones are tested.
- Only Xbox 360 ISO files are supported. There's no support for original Xbox files yet.
- The ISOs don't require patching or special naming—standard, unmodified game backups work perfectly.
