1) Legal note first
Only add games you own or have a legitimate license for. I do not provide support for piracy.
2) Recommended transfer method: FTP
- Connect your Xbox 360 to the same network as your PC.
- In Aurora, go to Settings and make sure FTP is enabled. Note the IP address displayed.
- On your PC, open an FTP client (like FileZilla). Enter the Xbox IP, username, and password (default is usually xbox / xbox).
- Once connected, browse to
HDD1:\Games\
. - Drag and drop your extracted game folder (must contain
default.xex
) into the Games folder.
3) Alternative transfer method: USB
- Format a USB drive for Xbox 360.
- Copy your extracted game folder to the USB drive.
- Plug the USB into your Xbox 360.
- In Aurora’s File Manager, copy the folder from the USB and paste it into
HDD1:\Games\
.
4) Install directly from your disc (Disc to GOD)
- Insert your original Xbox 360 game disc into the console.
- In Aurora, go to the Disc to GOD utility.
- Select your disc and choose the install destination (HDD1).
- Aurora will copy the disc contents directly to the hard drive.

5) Rescan in Aurora
- In Aurora, go to Settings > Content Paths
- Run a rescan. Aurora will detect the new games and display them on your dashboard.
6) Organize and play
- Use Aurora to refresh artwork and metadata for a clean library.
- Launch games directly from the dashboard tiles.
Notes
- FTP is more convenient than USB for moving large game files.
- The Disc to GOD method is the easiest if you have the game on disc.
- If you sourced a game from the internet, make sure it is in extracted folder format before transferring. If it is an ISO file, extract it first on your PC.
