I dont wish to continue any programming on the subject of xbox 360 hacking/modding/reversing. This contains a plethera of information on the most common of Xbox 360 file formats:
* Secure-Transacted File System(STFS)
* File Allocation table For Xbox (FATX)
* Xenon Executable(XEX)

This should help you learn the internals of these file formats and how they work. Most of the code is in C#, though the xex information is in C.
I cannot claim legitamately that I created all of this, but the sources of who helped me are included in it. The FATX stuff was made by CLK, but is very similar to the FreeFATX/OpenFATX project I made a good while ago.I also updated it, though the version I updated is rather buggy (hoping CLK will add to the most current build, additions are in a text file in the project)I dont know who created the xex information, though it was given to me by Mojobojo.
I hope people learn from this, feel free to download at your will and try to use this for whatever purpose(legal purposes)

It has been fun, sadly the Xbox 360 modding scene has extremely gluttonous tendencies and there is no doubt I will see some of this packaged up in someone elses program. I will attempt to update this whenever possible, or when new things are found (XDBF maybe??)

Hopefully this will give you better understanding of the xbox and you enjoy whatever you do/make with this.

...none of this information is new. There is many open source applications dealing with all of these formats already.

never deny the power of information

all info and knowledge gained from any source is in fact a great resource.

Huh... well this is interesting... I really thought that almost no one saw that (edit: really bad) STFS code I put up like a year ago in the middle of nowhere when I first started programming.

I didnt read the whole thing but did he say why he was quitting? Getting a job in the industry?

Who cares why he was quitting.. Looks like a nobody that just reposted info he got handed to him.

All of which is absolutely terrible info also... Other than the xex struct stuff, and given if you don't already know how an XEX works, that paper won't tell you crap really, because you won't know what is what lol.

And his coding style is garbage...

No offense but like.. What the hell is going on with X-S news lately? Seems really ridiculous all the crap that hits the front page.
