Building for Xbox
This page is about the original 2001 Xbox target. It is not for Xbox 360, Xbox
One, Xbox Series X/S, or ordinary Windows programs.
The modern Xbox package builds programs with fbc-xbox and produces .xbe
executables. It also includes fbc-xbox-xiso for creating ISO images with an
optional asset directory.
Build scripts
The package is built around open tools such as nxdk rather than the old
proprietary Microsoft XDK.
Compiling a program
Use real modified Xbox hardware or an emulator that can run homebrew XBE files.
