Reading FATX partitions in modern Linux or OS X

I forked mborgerson's FATX code, https://github.com/ldotsfan/fatx. You can now read FATX partitions (including F/G) and drives partitioned with XBP in modern Linux like Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint etc as this uses FUSE. This should work in OS X as well but I cannot test it myself.

How to use:

Code: Select all

    /fatxfs /dev/sdX folder --drive=Y
where X is where xbox hdd is attached. Y can be c,e,x,y,z,f,g. folder name of your choice.
