A fully native Linux port of the original Windows-only Xbox 360 utility by BLAHPR.
No wine. No Windows tools. All binaries are built from source on Linux.

Features

Button	What it does
Extract Game Folders from ISOs	Pick a folder of .iso files and an output folder — extracts each ISO into a game folder
Create ISOs from Game Folders	Pick a source folder of game dirs (.xex/.xbe) and an output folder — creates an .iso for each
Extract and Delete ISO Files	Same as Extract, but permanently deletes source ISOs after extraction
Delete Game Folders	Permanently deletes extracted game folders containing .xex / .xbe
Fix ISO (abgx360)	Verifies and auto-fixes ISO headers, stealth sectors, and video padding
ISO to GOD	Converts an ISO to Games on Demand format (Xbox 360 and Original Xbox)
GOD to ISO	Reconstructs an ISO from a GOD package

---

Requirements

• Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, or Arch-based)
• sudo access (for installing system packages)
• git (to clone with submodules)
• Internet connection (for the first build — downloads Rust toolchain if not already installed)

build.sh installs everything else automatically.

---

Setup

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/WB2024/Xbox360-Utility-Create-Extract.git
cd Xbox360-Utility-Create-Extract
bash build.sh
python3 main.pyw

That's it. build.sh will:

1. Install system packages (python3-tk, cmake, gcc, libcurl-dev, zlib-dev) via your distro's package manager
2. Install Rust via rustup if cargo is not already present
3. Install PyInstaller via pip3 (using --break-system-packages on PEP 668 distros such as Debian 13+)
4. Initialise git submodules (if not already done)
5. Build extract-xiso from x_tool/extract-xiso-src/
6. Build iso2god from x_tool/iso2god-rs/
7. Build god2iso from x_tool/god2iso-rs/
8. Build abgx360 from x_tool/abgx360-src/
9. Bundle everything into a standalone executable in dist/

If you already cloned without --recurse-submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive
bash build.sh

Manual build (without PyInstaller)

If you just want to run from source without bundling:

# Build extract-xiso
cd x_tool/extract-xiso-src && cmake -B build -S . && cmake --build build --parallel
cp build/extract-xiso ../extract-xiso && cd ../..

# Build iso2god
cd x_tool/iso2god-rs && cargo build --release
cp target/release/iso2god ../iso2god && cd ../..

# Build god2iso
cd x_tool/god2iso-rs && cargo build --release
cp target/release/god2iso ../god2iso && cd ../..

# Build abgx360
cd x_tool/abgx360-src && ./configure && make -j$(nproc)
cp src/abgx360 ../abgx360 && cd ../..

---

Running

python3 main.pyw

The x_tool/ directory must be in the same directory as main.pyw. All file and folder selection is done via in-app pickers.

Usage Guide

1. Batch Extract ISOs → Game Folders

1. Click Extract Game Folders from ISOs
2. Select the folder containing your .iso files
3. Select the output folder where game folders will be extracted
4. Each ISO is extracted into a subfolder containing .xex or .xbe files

Use Extract and Delete ISO Files to automatically remove the source ISOs after extraction.

---

2. Batch Create ISOs from Game Folders

1. Click Create ISOs from Game Folders
2. Select the folder containing your game directories (each must contain .xex or .xbe files)
3. Select the output folder where ISO files will be written
4. An .iso file is created for each valid game folder

Newly created ISOs may have incorrect headers. Run Fix ISO (abgx360) on them afterwards.

---

3. Fix ISO (abgx360)

Fixes ISO headers, stealth sectors, and video padding so ISOs are burnable and compatible.

1. Click Fix ISO (abgx360)
2. Select the .iso file to fix
3. abgx360 runs with:
   • --af3 — AutoFix level 3 (always fix, even if uncertain)
   • -p — fix video padding
   • -s — no colour codes (clean status output)
   • -o — offline mode (no network required)
4. Output streams live into the status window

---

4. ISO to GOD (Games on Demand)

Converts an Xbox 360 or Original Xbox ISO into GOD format for use on a console hard drive.

1. Click ISO to GOD (GAMES ON DEMAND)
2. Select your source .iso file
3. Select an output folder
4. The iso2god binary converts it — the resulting GOD package is written to the output folder

---

5. GOD to ISO

Reconstructs an ISO from a Games on Demand package.

1. Click GOD to ISO (GAMES ON DEMAND)
2. Select the GOD package header file — this is the file without an extension (not the .data folder)
3. Select an output folder
4. The god2iso binary reconstructs the .iso in the output folder

The god2iso tool also supports a --fix flag on the CLI for the optional CreateIsoGood header fix.

---

6. Cleanup Buttons

Button	Behaviour
Delete Game Folders	Permanently deletes all folders next to x_ISO/ that contain .xex / .xbe files

Both destructive buttons are coloured red and prompt no confirmation — use with care.

Troubleshooting

extract-xiso not found
Run bash build.sh or the manual cmake build above. If you cloned without --recurse-submodules, run git submodule update --init --recursive first.

iso2god / god2iso / abgx360 not found
Run bash build.sh or follow the manual build steps above. The binaries must be at x_tool/iso2god, x_tool/god2iso, and x_tool/abgx360.

abgx360 configure fails
Ensure build dependencies are installed: sudo apt install gcc libcurl4-openssl-dev zlib1g-dev

Cargo not found
Install Rust: sudo apt install cargo or via rustup.rs
