******************************************************************************* XBE Title Changer (XTC) ******************************************************************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type.................: XBox ISO Utility Platform.............: Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted by............: Captain Dunsel Posted to............: alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you install games on your XBox hard drive, many dashboards like EvoX will automatically generate a launch menu with the game titles on it; the title of each game is extracted from the DEFAULT.XBE file associated with the game. Unfortunately, the title information in a given game is not always accurate, may be spelled incorrectly, may be in a different language, etc, making your menus look "sloppy". There are a number of utilities out there that change the title within an XBE file, and file transfer utilities like Qwix give you the option of retitling a game as you transfer it to your XBox hard drive. However, I store all of my games as ISO images, and I wanted a way to retitle them in bulk without having to extract/patch/repack each ISO or remember to change the title every time I transferred it to an XBox. Since I couldn't find a suitable tool, I wrote one. XTC changes the game title inside the DEFAULT.XBE file directly inside an XBox ISO image -- no need to unpack/repack to use it. Simply select some ISO images, make changes as appropriate, and commit them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Install Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not much installation required. :) Just run the proggie. NOTE: this is the first release of this code. While I did a fair amount of testing on it (including retitling several hundred files without incident), you should still be cautioned that there MIGHT be bugs. If you are ultra-paranoid, make a backup copy of your ISO before changing the title. Comments and bug reports are most welcome. For that matter, let me know if you find this app useful AT ALL... it'll encourage me (or not) to write more.
