build-attach-xbe

Build an attach.xbe from a game's default.xbe with all game's info injected.

For XBE technical details see here or the PDF saved inside this repo.

The script will inject the full XBE manifest extracted from source xbe, and the XBX image (if present) into a newly-created attach.xbe. The attach.xbe used is the one contained inside Rocky5's Python script (and here we have some Frankenstein compiled JavaScript).

See GitHub Releases.

Usage

Usage:
  build-attach-xbe [...OPTIONS] [SOURCE FILE]

Options:
  -h,  --help                     Print this help text and exit.
  -o,  --output [TARGET FILE]     Output file path, defaults to attach.xbe.
  -v,  --version                  Print version information and exit.

When the SOURCE FILE is not defined, a raw attach.xbe is generated (without any injection).

Build

npm i && npm run build

Used rollup with pkg to generate the executables.

FAQ

It works?

Yup, tested (and currently using) with UnleashX and LithiumX. Both title names and images are showing up correctly.

But I have a ISO file!

Use extract-xiso to extract the whole game's content, or use xbfuse (Linux only) to mount the ISO and access the files directly. Redump-style ISOs are also supported by both those projects.

I remember some JavaScript...

Fear not my friend, your brain is working correctly.

See v0.2.0 release on GitHub.

Coffee-time?

Special thanks to

• Caustik and its very nice XBE docs
• Original script by Rocky5
• pyxbe (testing out the result)
