* XexTool v5.2


This is simply the best tool i have ever made :)
It is the culmination of 3 years of work with the Xbox360 executable/dll containers known as xex files.

With XexTool you can do pretty much anything you want to an xex file except sign it for a retail Xbox360. Some examples of what it can do are:
* Print out all info about an xex
* Patch an xex file with an xexp patch file
* Extract the basefile from an xex file
* Extract the resources from an xex file
* Export information required to disassemble to an IDC file
* Remove all limits from an xex (such as media, region, library versions)
* Convert a retail xex into a devkit xex
* Change the compressed state of a xex
* Change the encrypted state of a xex

This tool is a command line tool. Those who require a GUI are not the kind of people this tool is aimed at. :D


* Xex Support for IDA v5.2


This is an xex loader for IDA, it lets you open xex files in IDA without any fucking around!
If this doesn't excite you tremendously then obviously this tool isn't for you hehe.
This works so well it makes me happy just to use it!
This tool uses the same codebase as XexTool and so has the same support (ie works with everything!)


* PPC Altivec support for IDA v5.2


This adds support to IDA for the "extra" PPC instructions used by processors such as the one in the Xbox360. This is very useful in combination with the above loader to ensure maximum reversal of xex files.
This was originally developed by Dean Ashton but was added to by some of the xbox-hacker ppl. I just precompiled this for IDA v5.2.

These tools work very well. Thanks to xorloser for taking the time to do the research and write the application, as well as making his apps public!

Hah, this is very interesting. I write my own IDA modules, so I know how tricky it can be ;)
