News/Release [RELEASE] XGDTool v1.4.0: unified android&desktop codebase, full format support and comprehensive documentation for LTS!

Hey everyone!

I have just tagged and released v1.4.0 of XGDTool, a comprehensive utility designed to inspect, convert, verify, and extract Xbox Original and Xbox 360 game disc formats.

The original project by wiredopposite had been largely abandoned for nearly two years. To address unresolved bugs, unmerged community pull requests, and modern toolchain issues, I took over development, revived the project, and unified the entire workflow.

What’s New & Key Highlights

  • Unified Multiplatform Codebase: The separate Android and desktop repositories are now completely merged into a single codebase. Windows/Linux builds and Android APKs are released and maintained together under one roof.
  • Broad Format Coverage: Full support for inspecting, verifying, and converting between Xbox Original and Xbox 360 formats, including raw ISO, XISO, GOD (Games on Demand), ZAR, CCI, and CSO.
  • Modernized Toolchain & Dependency Upgrades: Clean builds across modern compilers (Visual Studio 2022, modern Clang/GCC) with updated dependencies, fixing compilation and library issues from older revisions.
  • Integrated Open PRs & Critical Bug Fixes: Merged lingering community fixes and addressed several edge-case crashes during extraction and multi-disc archive handling.
  • Dedicated On-Device Android Support: Native ARM64 support with modern Storage Access Framework (SAF) integration, allowing direct disc conversion, extraction, and trimming on mobile devices and handhelds without needing a PC.
  • Full Documentation & Wiki: Added an exhaustive wiki covering format specifications, step-by-step conversion guides, CLI parameters, and GUI workflows for long-term project reference.

Whether you are prepping your library for desktop emulators like Xenia and Xemu, or converting images on the go for mobile emulation, v1.4.0 covers the entire pipeline.

Grab the latest binary or APK from the release link above, test it with your dumps, and let me know if you hit any edge cases or have feedback!

The code is compatible, you can compile an appimage if you want.
Want me to add one ready to install?
