Command-line utility for converting XNA XNB files.
- Converting Texture2D XNB files to PNG images.
- All versions of XNA are supported: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0.
- Command line.
Do not forget: the fact that you can technically extract and view the resources from some games does not mean you can legally use the resources. Even extracting can be illegal in your country. If you are unsure, do not use this program.

-
XNA sometimes fails to properly free resources. If multiple huge images are converted (in directory input mode) and your computer is low on memory, the program will terminate. Workaround: run the program again. It will skip already converted files.
-
Support for XNA 1.0 and 2.0 is not tested as no games seem to use these versions.
