My friend took a picture of the Xbox 360 XEX Launcher, at EGS Brazil 2005.
Since I don't see any pic of it anywere, I'm posting here ^^
Sorry if it'old.

Nice nick name ;-)

What I find interesting is that the launcher doesn't appear to be integrated into the standard Xbox 360 Dashboard, unless that is an older (and vastly different) version of it, but rather appears to be it's own application.

Nice nick too ^^

From what I know, it´s the default Dashboard of the Debug Xbox 360 Console.
Interesting is the 5.39GB default.xex file.

According to the free60 site:

XEX is the executable file format used by the Xbox 360 operating system. It seems to be a crypto and packing container for PPC PE executable files, comparable to UPX [1] (http://upx.sourceforge.net/) or TEEE Burneye. This would give more creedence to reports of .xex's being gigs large. Such speculation is also fueled by the presence of what appear to be clear text file and folder names. If games are Gigabyte sized .xex files then it's likely the 360 knows how to grab the section it needs into memory and decrypt/decompress on demand, instead of traditional all at once extraction.
