How to create ImageSave.xbx?

Post by hal9000 »

Hi, I will make a custom ImageSave.xbx but the xbox image converter 3.0 only creates a TitleImage.xbx, the difference are the length, ImageSave.xbx = 4096 bytes and TitleImage.xbx = 10240 bytes
Any idea to solve this?

I have never tried, but have you try XBX Tools?
Readme wrote:XBX Tools (C) 2003 - Xtech

[Version]
* 0.1.0.0 - 8/8/03

[What is it?]

Simply put,
* XBXTools will extract an xbx file to a dds file
* XBXtools will build an xbx file from a dds file (or Jpg File)
* Acts as Bundler.exe(MS SDK) and xprectract2.exe
* No painful cmd line interface anymore. Only 2 buttons - Extract/Build.

[Notes]
*Jpg in "Build XBX" is only there for xboxlogo.xbx, Build all other
XBX files from DDS
.
*Save dds files as dxt1 with no mipmaps in photoshop, or your dds editor.


[Next Version]
* I dunno

Thanks man, this utility runs ok
I have done so, first resize image to 64x64, after convert jpg file to dds file (free Easy2convert jpg to dds), finally convert dds file to SaveImage.xbx file (4096 bytes) :mrgreen:

EDIT

To create a TitleImage.xbx resizing to 128x128 and follow the same steps.
