Theseus

A clean reimplementation of the Original Xbox dashboard engine, written from scratch by reading the retail binaries (4920 through 5960) in Ghidra. Covers the script VM, scene graph, D3D8 renderer, XAP/XIP asset pipeline, and Xbox Live bits. Loads UIX Lite XIPs on Xbox.

UIX Desktop is the same engine running on macOS, Linux, and Windows. SDL2 and OpenGL stand in for the Xbox graphics and kernel layer.

Public beta. Expect bugs. The Xbox build still lives in UIX Lite; Theseus is the desktop path right now.

Latest release: checking GitHub…

UIX Lite

A patched build of the retail 5960 dashboard with community XIPs and Rocky5’s skinning tools added on top. Runs on the Microsoft engine your console already has.

UIX Lite, Theseus, and UIX Desktop all load the same XIPs.

Downloads
