Games and DLC

Installing DLC

Place DLC in the right content directories and make sure the console recognizes it.

Downloading your DLC

  • Starting off you need to acquire your DLC files, a quick Google search and you can find archives

You can also use something like xbPirate to download DLC from the Xbox Marketplace, but note that a lot of games and DLC have been delisted.

  • We are going to be using Borderlands as an example
  • Download your DLC and extract the zip, it should be a folder with the title id

a title id should look something like 415608c3

Adding the files to your flash drive

  • Insert your flash drive into your computer

Or, if you are using an RGH console, connect to FTP.

  • Find the content folder and open it
  • You should see the folder labeled 0000000000000000
  • Drag the game id folder into the 0's folder, if it asks to replace anything click yes, let the files upload

Confirming the DLC in Aurora

  • You can also do this on the MS dash if you don't use Aurora by going to:
  • Settings
  • Storage
  • Where you store your DLC, so either USB or hard drive
  • Games and apps
  • Whatever game you are adding DLC for
  • And you should see the DLC there
  • Boot BadAvatar and open Aurora
  • Go to the game you added the DLC for, but don't open it.
  • Press Y go to the controller symbol and press left on the D pad
  • You should see it say DLC at the bottom press A,
  • You should see your DLC.

  • After that, make sure your game is up to date.
  • If you don't see your DLC, make sure you enabled auto scan for managed paths.
  • Also make sure you added your Content folder as a managed path by going to Aurora Home, pressing Start, opening Content, and clicking Add under Managed Paths.

Confirming the console thinks you own them

  • Before you play the game with DLC, make sure the DLC is set as "owned."
  • Next we are going to download XM360
  • Extract the zip
  • Add it to your flash drive where you store your apps
  • Or if using an RGH console connect to FTP and store the files where you store your apps
  • In Aurora press select
  • If you don't use Aurora as your main dash, download XeXmenu and drag the Content folder inside the zip to the root of your flash drive.
  • Go to my games and apps if your on the MSdash and open XeXmenu
  • Press RB to switch drives, go to your flash drive, navigate to your XM360 files, and open XM360.xex.
  • File manager
  • And navigate to where your XM360 is
  • Open XM360.xex
  • On the left press show DLC
  • You should see the tab "have some DLC" find the game with your DLC
  • Once found, the right side should show the DLC for the game.
  • The lock will either be unlocked or locked. If it is unlocked, the DLC is ready to go.
  • If not, press Unlock DLC on the left side. This will set the DLC as purchased for the game. You can then boot your game and you are good to go.
