Sometimes when I exit the game (XBLA or X360) I end up on black screen.

System is unresponsive to controller buttons I have to reboot it manually.

When I press power button on the console it restarts (not shutting down) and then everything is normal after that.

I have my XBLA games on internal HDD, others are on USB disk.

I have latest FSD installed, DashLaunch 2.27, both on internal HDD (SLIM 4GB RGH).

Can anyone help me?

Could be a setting in dashlaunch launch.ini file.

Run dashlaunch again I believe there are settings regarding games :smile:

I will try that and report back.

Funny thing is that it's not happening every time I'm exiting from game.

Thank's for your help!

Cant see anything wrong here :)

Maybe you should try moving Freestyle to your USB hdd. Believe I've read that it is not recomended to have it installed on internal MU. Some even remove memory entirely.

I have Freestyle on USB hdd and have no issues whatsoever.

Could you please post your ini file just to see your destination path to FSD?

I have 250GB HDD in my console, and FSD is installed on it, not on internal MU (4GB), but I'll try to move it to USB HDD anyway just to see.

And thank you for your help!
 
As far as I can tell its FSD rescanning for games.

It does it on mine but if I leave it for a few mins then it finally comes back. However it can take a long time some times. Thats with the internal hard drive.

I have tried it with a USB drive and like mentioned when you pull the drive out it starts back up again.

Thats another reason why I think its FSD scanning for games.

Then maybe I should turn off autoscan option in FSD?
You think that would help?

Oh i misunderstood thought you had it on MU..

As Dosk3n says its probably FSD scanning for games or though it shouldn't take for ever. Of course the bigger the drive and the more games you have on it, the longer it takes to finish.

But why is only sometimes you have this issue?

Anyway my ini-file looks like this:

[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Usb:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
Default = Usb:\Freestyle\Default.xex
[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true

Give it a go and let us know how it turns out.
I have tried to disable autoscan, issue is still there :(

Few days ago I have updated to dash 14699, and install FSD using DashLaunch 2.27.

I was suggested by a member of xbox360iso forum to downgrade to dash 13604 and use DashLaunch 2.26 (he said that DashLaunch 2.27 is too buggy).

What do you think of that?

What kernel and DashLaunch you use?

Is there any log file on console I could post here after rebooting from crash?

And I'm on 14699 FSD 2.2 Dashlaunch 2.27 and no problem with it.

Could it be a problem with your USB hdd? Have you tried connecting it to another USB port?

I'll try to connect HDD to another port (I hope that the solution is really that simple :))

Could you please post your launch.ini so I could compare it to mine (i was suggested that something in the ini file could also be the problem).

Do you keep your games in GOD format or do you extract them? Mine are all in GOD format.

If anything fails, I have one more USB HDD, and I'll try copy some games on it.

Thank's for you help!

Try minimun settings in launch.ini and see if that makes a difference

Only in GOD format.
