Xodus Architecture

Components

• Xodus Service - Process ran in the Linux host environment that communicates with xgameruntime via IPC, handling the processing of complex runtime API calls that involve communication with the XBOX Servers or host-side UI.
• xgamertuntime - Open source implementation of xgameruntime.dll, a Windows component required to execute XBOX PC games.
• Wine - Xodus fork of Wine that is patched to include the open source xgameruntime.dll.

Requirements

• Games downloaded through Xodus retain executable in encrypted form - following in Windows footsteps
• Users shouldn't need to login multiple times - auth confirmations are fine
• Steam games using Microsoft services should be able to use Xodus login
• Users want to use their launcher of preference, not another launcher. Integration should be simple
