  • extract-xiso

    Xbox ISO Creation/Extraction utility. Imported from SourceForge.

  • Xemu is a pain in the neck. Trying to get games into a format that the emulator can read is frustrating. There's a tool called extract-xiso (https://github.com/XboxDev/extract-xiso) which you need to use to get a working iso, but there doesnt appear to be a working Windows binary on that page. You have to compile the code yourself. There's a couple of other tools - Gx-Xgd-Extract v00.10.10, XDVDMulleter v10.2beta, extract-xiso_gui_v1.0_win32_by_huge, etc, but Ive had no luck creating an ISO thst Xemu recognised using any of them. Just lots of "Please insert an XBox disk messages"
