Linux / OSX Hdd Explorer v0.01 120809_2 build
Posted by XanTium | December 8 22:17 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
Slasherking823 released a first experimental version of Hdd Explorer(info) 0.01 for Linux / OSX ... so you can now axx your Xbox360 HDD on your *nix based OS:
Quote

First of all i will just say if you don't know how to run an app as root you should not use this.
You will need some basic Linux knowledge if you don't want to fail.

Alright, to the app:
Please back up your hd with dd
Supports all fatx functions
20gb xbox 360 drives only for now
Uses the mono framework; on debian/ubuntu run: sudo apt-get install mono

Things are beta, don't expect everything to work beautifully. Encountering a corrupted file in a delete/extract usually is disastrous since my program assumes that the fat is right and limitless.
Injection/new folder better not be done when there are no open dirents (assumes directories are 1 block) or when the disk is out of space (assumes fat has space)
You will need to chown extracted files because the app runs as root
You will need to run this app as root
Please don't decompile as i didn't protect it.

That being said...
Commands (except cd/del) are entered as the letter that represents them and no arguments because i was lazy

EDIT: oh and yea, i apologize for any bad programming/report bugs in this thread, and linux/osx conresigner is near

EDIT2: oh, and with some systems you will need to load the exe with the command mono: mono /path/to/fatx.exe

This is good start for us linux users. I hope they add support for xbox1 HD's and memory cards.
Is this software standalone? or do we need to find and build FATX kernel modules first?

this software is standalone, uses mono to provide easy .net shiz

EDIT: and yea I might make a hd size detect and multiple partition support routine when everything is done
