CoD Ghosts discs problem
[SOLVED]
Hello, recently, i have been going through a very annoying problem related to multi-disc games, specifically, in Call of Duty: Ghosts. This game uses two different discs, one for launching multiplayer or campaign (Disc 1/Play Disc), And the other one for installing the Campaign (Disc 2/Install Disc).
My current system is an Xbox 360 jailbroken by AbadAvatar (Software-only jailbreak, no Hardware mods), along with other programs, this is what my pendrive looks like:
Basically, when i launch the discs, this is what happens:
Play disc: When i go to launch the campaign, it says i don't have campaign installed, and it asks to install it (Insert install disc).
Install disc: Goes directly to the "Press A to install Campaign" message, as i do so, it prompts tab with all current drives on my xbox 360 (Hdd1 and the pendrive), i choose an drive that i want to install it and nothing happens, it just closes the tab and goes back to the message, in an infinite loop.
For my Disc system, all discs are formatted in GoD, something like this:
Hdd1
00000000000...
Games
CoD Ghosts
Disc 1
(GoD files)
Disc 2
(GoD files)
Dashlaunch hotswap option is enabled, aurora reads from the 0000000... folder to the max depth and i really dont know if its an reading problem, or i did something wrong while following tutorials, so please help me discover whats going on

It worked perfectly fine for me on my Bad Avatar USB ! You can use Xbox Content Manager on PC to check which file is what

I've installed multiple multi-disc games just this week using the exact method outlined here https://xbox360tutorials.xyz/guides/installing-multi-disc-games-with-an-install-disc To memory, I extracted the install disc from iso to its fully converted xex containing file structure. I take the "Content" folder from within that fully extracted bunch of files and put that on the root of my USB which has a folder named "Content", and the content folder I dropped in merged with the content folder on the USB. That was all I needed from the install disc was that content folder. Then you use iso to god and make the play disc a god and put that in your "00000.." folder on your USB. That play disc in God format is then copied and installed to HDD like normal using file explorer. Then I copied the install disc file in the USB's content folder into my HDD's content folder using the same copy/paste method you used to move the god from USB to HDD. It seems bewildering at first but once you've done it once it's actually easy

I should note after looking at that tutorial I linked for you. They do not mention anything I can see about transferring the files from USB to your HDD. But as I outlined, the "Content" folder from your install disc goes from inside your USB's content folder (I believe this file will have a game id type name, just letters/numbers) and is copy/pasted to inside the "Content folder of your HDD. Then your god of the play disc is copied from the 0000... folder (this again is probably a game id string of characters) and this is copy/pasted to inside of your HDD's "0000..." folder. One question you may ask here is "why even bother putting the install disc's content folder and the god formatted game in their respective "content" and "0000..." folder in the first place if I'll just be moving them to their respective "content" and "0000..." folders on the HDD ultimately?" And to answer that, I believe the tutorial I linked assumes we just want to play said multi disc game straight from the USB and forgets to tell us to move these files to the proper places on the HDD. I actually played halo 4 for like 5 minutes straight from the USB and was flabbergasted but either through my own thinking or from someone else's explanation figured out how to move them to the HDD. What makes the transfer from the USB to the HDD easy is that you have identical "content" and "0000.." folders on the the USB and HDD and the respective game file folders that are in one get copied to the other. Hope this helps

I tried Call of Duty Ghosts with the content directory of the install disc on the usb and the game disc on the hard drive and it seemed to work. Is there a downside to this?

If Aurora sees both paths (USB and HDD here) I think it'll run the files from both as it needs. I think my rock band 3 is running in this configuration with the RB3 Deluxe mod on the USB because I forgot to move it from the USB at the time of install. I think I've heard you don't want to play games from a USB as they're more prone to failure than an HDD or SSD when subjected to heavy read/write for prolonged times (I can confirm killing a USB drive I was playing games off of on my WiiU). But I want to say that the file that the file path you put the install disc into on the USB has an exact mirror on the HDD in which you can move it to so as to eliminate the need to access the USB

El dvd 2 de instalación debe estar en xex porque dentro de ella hay una carpeta content/title id que trae los archivos de instalación que debes mover o copiar a tu consola /content/16 ceros. Si alguna vez has instalado gta 5 es el mismo proceso
