📥 Download

⬇ Download v1.2.0 (Windows x64)

Self-contained .NET 8 executable — no installation required. Just extract and run.

✨ Features

1. Xbox 360 (XGD2/XGD3) & Classic Xbox (XISO)

  • Asynchronous I/O Engine: 100% UI responsiveness. Uses large 4MB buffers and async streams to extract files blazing fast compared to older tools.
  • Protection Against GDFX Corruption: Recalculates absolute offsets against data partition bases to prevent infinity loops commonly experienced on packed XGD3 discs.
  • Raw Optical Drive Ripping: Insert your original Xbox 360 discs directly into your PC's DVD-ROM (bypasses Windows filesystem limits).
  • Built-in Disc Burner: Integrated Windows IMAPI2 COM API. Automatically burns extracted directories to DVD/CD in UDF format ready for RGH/JTAG consoles!

2. Live Game Downloader

  • Instant Vimm's Lair Integration: Built-in search engine queries the Vimm's Lair database in real-time, pulling from all Xbox and Xbox 360 vaults.
  • Live Search: Zero-lag debounced search bar updates results instantly.
  • Background Fetching: Automatically fetches and deduplicates lists of available games for offline browsing.
  • Pause / Resume / Cancel: Full download control with a dedicated notification panel.

3. My Downloads (NEW in v1.2.0)

  • Smart Tracking: Only games downloaded through the app are displayed — no scanning of your entire Downloads folder.
  • One-Click Extract & Load: Each downloaded game has an inline "Extract & Load ISO" button that unpacks the .7z/.zip archive, auto-detects Xbox Classic vs Xbox 360 from the ISO sector magic bytes, and routes it directly to the correct extractor tab.
  • Auto Folder Creation: When extracting to a bare USB drive root (e.g. D:\), the app automatically creates a folder named after the game to keep your pendrive organized.

4. Games On Demand (ISO2GOD)

  • Automated Conversion: Seamlessly transform your ISO images into Microsoft's Games on Demand (GOD) format for immediate dashboard booting.
  • CON Header Generation: Natively writes STFS headers mapped to Title IDs.

5. USB Softmod Creator (RGH)

  • FAT32 Formatter: Safely format USB drives to FAT32 with 32KB clusters, optimal for Xbox 360 RGH compatibility.
  • One-Click DashLaunch Installation: Automatically clones and prepares essential tools onto your flash drive for instant console deployment.
