XeCLI

XeCLI is a beta terminal-first Xbox 360 RGH/JTAG toolkit for live console work with XBDM, JRPC2, FTP, XeLL-backed NAND dumping, XEX tooling, memory inspection, content workflows, reverse-engineering helpers, and the beta XeTerminal custom interface.

The repository and product name are XeCLI. The installed terminal command is rgh.

Portable and installed builds also ship the beta XeTerminal.exe launcher, which opens the custom XeCLI interface directly when launched with no arguments.

XeCLI and XeTerminal are both currently shipped as beta surfaces in the v1.1.0 cycle.

What XeCLI Covers

Live console status, title resolution, module inspection, memory inspection, thread control, screenshots, and debug helpers
File-system and FTP workflows for browsing, transfer, search, save handling, plugins, and console content staging
XeLL-backed keyvault export, CPU key capture, startup-log capture, and verified read-only NAND backup
Local XTAF/FATX disk and image workflows with Windows disk enumeration, header scan, manual offset/length open, metadata backup/restore, safe repair, and raw partition export
Local content tooling for CON, profile, GPD, and XDBF inspection and mutation
Reverse-engineering helpers for Ghidra and IDA, plus XEX dump, decompile, and analysis flows
Homebrew, dashboard, compatibility-pack, and USB staging workflows

v1.1.0 Highlights

Fixed false-zero live memory reads so rgh mem peek, rgh mem hexdump, and small memory dumps agree on the same target data
Added verified memory writes so rgh mem poke and freeze loops fail on rejected or mismatched writes instead of printing false success
Hardened debugger control so rgh debug stop, rgh debug go, breakpoints, and data breakpoints only report success when XBDM accepts the command
Expanded the beta XeTerminal.exe launcher with the custom shell UI, live console/session panels, integrated FTP/file manager workflows, clickable versioning, and live suggestion handling
Added native Discord Rich Presence integration with quiet state updates for connected and disconnected console sessions
Fixed screenshot capture so XeCLI can save correct .png output, auto-trim the corrupted right-edge strip on affected frame buffers, and use title-based filenames from XeTerminal
Added self-contained portable release assets for both win-x64 and win-x86, plus a universal setup installer

Quick Start

.\XeCLI-1.1.0-setup.exe
rgh --help
rgh language --set es
rgh nand dump --ip 192.168.1.186 --yes

Portable zip users can run rgh.exe directly from the extracted win-x64 or win-x86 release folder. If you prefer the beta GUI launcher, open XeTerminal from the Start menu or run XeTerminal.exe directly. The installer registers rgh, adds the selected install to PATH, creates the XeTerminal Start menu shortcut, offers an optional XeTerminal desktop shortcut, and persists the initial UI language selection on supported Windows installations.

Tooling Notes

Ghidra is an external (Free) dependency. XeCLI's supported Ghidra XEX import path uses the maintained SaveEditors/XEXLoaderWV fork.

The IDA workflow is pinned to IDA Pro 9.1.250226 with idaxex 0.42b.

Why XTAF Matters

XeCLI's rgh xtaf surface is not limited to browsing normal Xbox 360 HDD images. The standout workflows are:

Direct Windows physical-disk inspection alongside normal .img and .bin inputs
FATX/XTAF header scan plus manual --offset and bounded --length opens for unusual or partial images
Retail-layout FATX formatting for blank or recovered Xbox 360 HDD images
Low-level metadata backup and restore for disk-prefix and partition-header regions before risky work
Safe chain-map audit and repair for orphaned allocation issues
Raw partition dump and tree extraction workflows for recovery or analysis

rgh fatman and rgh fatx still work as compatibility aliases, but rgh xtaf is now the primary disk and image command surface.

Standalone Payload Repo

The standalone XeCLI-XellFetch repo is published at github.com/SaveEditors/XeCLI-XellFetch. It packages the custom xell.bin, XellLaunch, and QuickBoot assets for operators who want the XeLL-side payload with or without the full XeCLI desktop workflow. XeCLI integrates with that workflow, but the standalone bundle is released from its own repo.
