Aurora 0.2b Is Here! We have put a lot of work into this release. While the primary goal was to continue to fill out the game details scene with the disabled items, we did manage to include a few new options and changes that hopefully you all will find useful.
Below, We've outlined the additions, changes, deletions, and fixes. Take a look and please enjoy!
New Scenes:DLC Browser - This scene will allow you to browse your DLC for your retail games and delete DLC if desired. Additionally, if you browse DLC for any titles that are under the ScriptData = "Emulators" it will display a list of roms for that emulator. There are going to be some assumptions in the this first iterations of the the ROM Browser, such as your roms being in a subfolder called "Roms" in the particular title's folder. We've also added the ability to set launch data for ROMs- this means you can press (A) on a ROM and it'll launch the emulator with launch data set- it'll be up to the emulator authors to support direct loading ROMS from there.
Saved Game Browser - This scene will allow you to browse your Saved Games and delete them if desired. Not much more to do at this point, but is at least a little bit of management in that area.
Preview - This scene will allow you to browse through the screenshots downloaded during the Content Scan process. It will also allow you to play the trailer that was downloaded, if available.
Note: To play all trailers you will need the Optional Media Update. Click
here for installation directions.
Achievements - This scene will allow you to browse through the achievements that the signed in profile has unlocked. Secret achievement description can be revealed at the push of a button. Not much else to do, but a good way to check your progress in a game.
Synopsis - When the game description is longer than the viewable space in the game details scene a new button will show up to the bottom right of the synopsis to allow you to open a viewer of the synopsis. This will allow you to scroll through and read all of the details.
Overscan - This scene will allow users to adjust their overscan from within the dash without having to modify the database.
Changes- Unity Username and Unity Password will change from profile specific to system specific. ( You will have to reset this up after booting for the first time)
- Addition of a "Updates are Available" notification at boot of Aurora, if new updates are available (can be disabled by modifying database)
- Support accents and special chars in Unity Username field (and other text fields)
- Fixed rendering bugs that can occur with custom Coverflow layouts
- Fixed TUs not saving to USBMU and consequently not applying correctly
- Added wallpaper shader. This is basically a configurable Pixel shader that allows you to warp and animate the background ( there are still issues with it when using it in conjunction with overscan- these will be resolved in a future release )
- Fixed bug in FTP Server that kept you from browsing to the Game: folder has been fixed
- Reversed the TiltLeft and TiltRight motions in some coverflow layouts

- Added Flock by Phoenix coverflow layout
- Added Lazy Stacks by Swizzy coverflow layout
- Added Spiral Stack by Swizzy coverflow layout

Future UpdatesThere is still a lot we would like to do with this dash and this most recent update has proven to us that our foundation is strong. In the future we want to bring you more functionality to further solidify its place as the definitive dash alternate for the Xbox 360. We are working on things like a file manager, quick view options, title specific settings, and more- stay tuned and enjoy!
Thanks:Thanks for helping us test our new dash replacement and look forward to bringing even more functionality in the future.
