Good observation - you're right, this could really confuse. I adjusted it to be faithful to what the script really does 👇

These days I had commented here about Aurora's problems, especially when we start messing with the games.

In my case I removed and moved some games and it ended up becoming a mess... Aurora kept showing game cover that didn't even exist anymore, duplicate thing, input that didn't lead to anything, that mess 😅

Then I made a script to clean this.

He basically sweeps Aurora's list and removes only what is really invalid, like:

* game that you have already deleted

* folder that no longer exists

* entry without file to open

* incomplete or lost thing

It doesn't delete anything from the HD, it's just an internal cleaning.

I also took care not to touch important things like emulator, dash, app, things like that.

Here it was solved well after I messed up everything by messing with the games manually 😅

If anyone has been through this and wants to test it or has an idea to improve, send it there 👍

Aurora Dashboard is excellent overall and solves many problems on the Xbox 360, but while developing scripts I ran into some limitations that are starting to have a significant impact.

In the most recent version, from the tests I've done, the **scanpaths work with relative paths**. In practice, this makes it difficult to create more advanced scripts, especially for **optimization and cleanup**.

The problem is that, in some scenarios, operations that should only affect a specific device (such as a single HDD or USB) can end up applying to others as well. Depending on the case, this can generate undesirable effects—especially in automated scripts—and requires much greater care with validations and security.

Another related point is the limitation on **creating database backups while it is in use**. I understand that this may be a system protection measure, but at the same time it prevents the implementation of safer routines, such as automatic backups before changes and restoration in case of error.

For context, I've already developed the **“Aurora Drive Fixer Smart”**, focused on fixing scanpaths and Title Updates after drive cloning, with intelligent duplicate handling. It worked very well, but when trying to evolve to more complete cleanup scripts, these limitations started to become a problem.

This isn't a negative criticism—it's more of a point that could perhaps be improved (such as support for absolute paths or greater control over scanpaths), or even something that someone has already managed to work around.

**Has anyone who develops scripts for Aurora dealt with this or found a better approach?**

I was having this problem on my Xbox 360 RGH/JTAG after changing or cloning a hard drive, and I noticed many other people seem to face the same issue.

Games would disappear from Aurora, turn gray/dark, or Title Updates would stop working and stay stuck at 0%.

Because of that, I created a script called Aurora Drive Fixer Smart to help automate the fix by correcting scanpaths, repairing broken Title Updates, and removing duplicate entries that cause conflicts inside Aurora’s database.

The idea was inspired by EmiMods’ FixClonedDrive, but with a more focused approach on safer and smarter handling of duplicates and database fixes.

I’d like to know if anyone else has experienced this issue and whether this kind of solution would be useful for the community.
