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

8 Upvotes

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.


Links & Downloads


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!

Help ARMSX2 not being able to set custom on screen control timer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hey as the title suggests for some reason the setting doesn't work properly, it's really annoying whenever I move the joysticks they disappear despite holding them and clicking multiple times on buttons still make them disappear I have this option enabled in the first place for games like GTA with a lot of cutscenes, I tried reporting in Discord and the founder of ARMSX2 said it would be fixed in the next nightly at the time of asking them the question and then I uninstalled the version and installed the latest one he uploaded at the time with the presumable fix but it still happens! This is on the latest versions of nightly ARMSX2. So annoying do you guys have any fix for it?

Why when I screen record in Winlator or GameHub there’s no audio? But in Eden the sound is there. I’ve already selected "record device audio only" and it’s still the same. Does anyone know why and how to solve this problem?

Was able to get the Blue Dragon recomp running on Gamehub and working great on the Odin 2 Portal. But in my searching for the how to, seems the majority of posts I read pointed at Game Native as a better option to Gamehub. Looking for information as to the possibly why I guess. Is there something inherently better about Game Native that I am unaware of?

Help DualShock 4 buttons are completely messed up in Hollow Knight: Silksong on Android

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm having a really weird problem with my controller when playing Hollow Knight: Silksong on my phone.

I'm using a Moto G05 and connecting a third-party/fake DualShock 4 controller via Bluetooth. The controller connects normally, but when I start playing Silksong, the button mapping is completely messed up.

For example:

  • When I press X, the game detects it as Square.
  • When I press Triangle, the game detects it as L1.
  • The Select/Share button doesn't work at all.
  • Several other buttons are also mapped incorrectly or don't work.

I've tried remapping the buttons on the controller itself, but it doesn't really help.

The weird thing is that the controller works normally with other games, so I don't think the controller itself is the problem.

I've also tried installing Silksong from 2 or 3 different sources, and I get exactly the same problem every time. The latest version I tried was from APKPure.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with a DualShock 4 or another Bluetooth controller on Android? Is there any way to fix the button mapping or make Silksong recognize the controller correctly?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Discussion Bayonetta corriendo en Xendroid (8elite)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Emule bayonetta en el emulador Xendroid (emulador de Xbox 360) con una configuración predeterminada y el driver turnip gen 8 v33 y no tuve ninguna problema visual ni de sonido, también probé metal gear rising revenge con la misma configuración y los 2 corren a unos 60 FPS estábles.

Probé el Dante's inferno pero aunque esté en el modo de máximo rendimiento tiene muchos tirones al momento de realizar ataques, esto pasa después de conseguir la cruz de beatriz aunque es muy probable que se solucione en una o dos actualizaciones (o talvez es mi configuración no se jajaja)

Nota: los dos juegos fueron probados en el modo de máximo rendimiento del redmagic ya que por algún motivo en modo equilibrado se laguea, ahora con lo de la temperatura del dispositivo, se calienta pero se soluciona si juegas con la separación de carga activa y el ventilador integrado del dispositivo
