A powerful, keyboard-driven terminal app for browsing, managing, and installing Xbox 360 mods directly from your console.
Some data powered by Arisen Studio — the largest open Xbox 360 mod database.
Building tools like this takes real time. If x360tm helped you mod your console, find a trainer, or restore a save — please consider buying me a coffee. Every contribution, no matter how small, goes directly into keeping projects like this alive and growing. You'll also have my eternal gratitude. 🙏
Note - some screenshots may not be up-to-date with all of the functionality in the latest builds, as its being developed at a fairly rapid pace I will just leave the old screenshots in for now until the next full stable build.
The main menu shows your FTP connection status, live database counts (583 trainers, 70 mods, 55 homebrew, 133 patches, etc.), and quick-access buttons for every category. My Library is pinned at the top in green. The two orange buttons — Transfer Games and ISO → GOD — give you direct access to the local game management tools.
After scanning your console via FTP, My Library lists all 27 detected games by name and Title ID. Select any game and use the right-hand panel to jump straight into its Trainers, Saves, Mods, Cheats, or Patches.
Browsing trainers with the library filter applied — only trainers for your installed games are shown. Here GTA V (545408A7) has both an Aurora trainer and an XBDM TrainerLoader. The detail pane shows the full install path using {AURORAPATH} substitution.
Combining both filters: Source: Local restricts the list to trainers sourced from the LocalTrainers/ repo folder, while Library ✓ narrows results to only games present in your scanned library. Each row shows the [A] (Aurora) tag and [L] (local file) suffix. The detail pane confirms Source: Local, the Aurora install path, and the full path to the local .xex file on disk.
The full trainers browser — 583 trainers across hundreds of games. Search by game name, Title ID, or trainer name. The [A] prefix indicates Aurora-compatible trainers; [X] indicates XBDM. The Library button in the top-right toggles the library filter.
70 game mods browsable with name, game, version, author, mod type, and region. The detail pane shows description, credits, files list, and the install path. Library filter available.
55 homebrew apps across categories: Utilities (XDRPC, JRPC2, XBDM, FakeAnim, GOD Unlocker…), Dashboards (Aurora, FSD, XeXDash…), and Emulators (Amiga360, DosBox, SNES360, Mupen64…). Each entry shows its install path.
Pre-made save files for Xbox 360 games — max money, 100% completion, all items unlocked. Region and version shown. Installs directly to your console's save folder via FTP.
Memory offset cheats for supported games. Shows game, cheat name, region, version, and raw memory offsets. Useful for JTAG/RGH users who apply cheats via memory patching tools.
133 title update patches across games including Skyrim, Resident Evil series, GTA V, Mirror's Edge, and more. Source .patch.toml files listed with Title ID for accurate matching.
The Transfer Games screen lists all locally-stored GOD format games found in your configured GOD path — 35 games shown here. Selecting Alan Wake reveals its Title ID (4D530805), content type folder (00007000), container file, the number of files to transfer (43), total size (6.67 GB), local path, and the install destination on the console. Hit Transfer (or I) to push the game over FTP or to a mounted USB drive.
The torrent file browser — here a "Microsoft - Xbox 360 (Digital)" torrent is expanded showing 14,375 files (1.19 TB total). Individual files or entire folders can be toggled with Space; [x]/[~]/[ ] checkboxes show full / partial / none selection. Press D to hand the selection to qBittorrent via its Web API — only the chosen files are downloaded.
The ISO → GOD converter scans your local ISO folder and lists all Xbox 360 disc images. Here Dead Space (Europe) and Minecraft are detected at 7.30 GB each. The detail pane shows the full ISO path, the output GOD folder, and the binary status (Ready (v1.8.1)). The iso2god binary (v1.8.1, powered by iso2god-rs) is downloaded automatically on first use — just click "Get Binary". Hit Convert to GOD (or C) to start the conversion with a live progress bar.
The FTP File Browser navigated to /Usb1/Games — a full listing of installed game folders with timestamps. From here you can browse any drive, rename or delete files and directories in-place, and verify exactly what's installed on your console.
FTP File Browser connected to 192.168.1.187:21, showing the root filesystem (Game, Hdd1, HddX, SysExt, System, Usb0, Usb1). Keyboard shortcut bar at the bottom: esc Back, ↑ Up, r Rename, d Delete, f5 Refresh, q Quit.
Settings page showing the connection profile (My Xbox 360 — 192.168.1.187:21), live FTP status (Connected — green), Test Connection / Reconnect / Disconnect buttons, download directory, cache age, and Aurora folder path configuration.
Lower settings: game library paths (Usb1\Games), scan depth (4), and the Save button. All settings persist to JSON in the user config directory.
The Updates section at the bottom of Settings — Auto-Update toggle, Update Channel selector (Latest stable / Pre-release), and the Check for Updates button with a live status line below it.
The Title Updates screen listing STFS packages found in LocalTitleUpdates/, with game name, TitleID, and version parsed directly from the binary header. The detail pane shows the selected package's metadata and install options.
New Game Processing at the Select stage — the 6-stage pipeline tabs (Extract, Scan, Select, Convert, Tidy, Transfer) are shown at the top, with completed stages highlighted green. The game table lists all detected ISOs with their type and current status. "Found 3 game(s): 3 ISO, 0 already GOD" — select them and click Proceed to continue.
The Utilities hub screen — "Game Directory Tidy-up" and "USB Backup / Restore" buttons. Accessible from the main menu via the Utilities button.
Game Directory Tidy-up after analysis — a 35-game table showing Title ID, match type (CSV exact, Fuzzy %, Dir inferred), current folder structure, and planned rename action. Status bar: "35 game(s) found | 8 to move | 27 already correct | 0 skipped | Format: Name/TitleID". Click Apply Changes to perform the renames over FTP using RNFR/RNTO.
Create USB Backup screen — the auto-detected device table shows /dev/sdc (BADUPDATE, 7.2 GiB, vfat, ★auto-detected). The live scrolling log tracks partclone + zstd progress from 0% to 100%; on completion the output filename and compressed size are shown (usb_backup_BADUPDATE_2026-05-01_124625.pcl.zst — 0.14 GiB compressed). Accessed via Utilities → USB Backup / Restore → Create Backup.
USB Backup Restore screen — two side-by-side tables: saved backups (with timestamps and compressed sizes) and available target devices. A capacity check warns when the target drive matches or exceeds the source. Click Restore to decompress and write the image back to the USB drive with a live progress log.
The Create BadAvatar USB screen — device selection table with a connected USB drive listed. The Aurora auto-boot toggle sits above the Build button. The scrolling log fills in real time as each stage completes.
BadAvatar USB build complete — "✓ BadAvatar USB created successfully!" summary panel showing what was installed: ABadAvatar v1.1 + XeUnshackle 1.03, Aurora 0.7b.2 (auto-boot enabled). Instructions prompt you to plug the drive into Xbox Usb0 and power on.

Alongside the Arisen Studio online database, x360tm supports local content folders bundled directly in the repo. These are scanned at startup and merged seamlessly with the online data — no internet required for local items.
| Folder | Content | Naming convention |
|---|---|---|
LocalTrainers/ |
Aurora .xex trainers |
{TitleID}/{TrainerFile}.xex |
LocalMods/ |
Game mods | {TitleID}/{filename} |
LocalHomebrew/ |
Homebrew apps | {AppName}/{filename} |
LocalGameSaves/ |
Pre-made save files | {TitleID}/{filename} |
The repo ships with 550+ trainers in LocalTrainers/ — one subfolder per Title ID, each containing an Aurora-compatible .xex trainer file (RETROBYTE format).
Metadata: Drop a mod.json, meta.json, or info.json file inside any content folder to provide name, author, version, and description. Without it, the folder/file name is used as a fallback.
In the UI: Local items are merged with online results in every browser. Trainers sourced from local files show a [L] suffix in the trainer list. The detail pane shows Source: Local and the full local file path instead of a download URL. Install works identically — the local file is pushed directly over FTP or USB.
Install paths used for local content:
- Trainers →
{AURORAPATH}\User\Trainers\{TitleID}\{TrainerStem}\{filename} - Mods →
Hdd:\JTAG\{TitleID}\ - Game Saves →
Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\{TitleID}\000B0000\
Note on empty folders: Git does not track empty directories. After cloning,
LocalMods/,LocalHomebrew/, andLocalGameSaves/will not appear until files are added. The app handles missing folders gracefully — they are simply skipped. Drop your own files in and they'll be picked up on next launch.

- Install Aurora Dashboard on your Xbox 360
- Enable FTP in Aurora → Settings → FTP
- Note your console's IP address
- In x360tm → Settings → Connection Profiles → Add
- Enter IP, port (default
21), username/password (defaultxbox/xbox) - Hit Test Connection to verify
- Set as default profile
If Aurora is at Usb0:\Apps\Aurora\, set that in Settings → Aurora Folder Path.
This ensures trainers install to the right location.
In Settings, set Game Library Paths to your games folder (e.g. Usb1\Games) and Scan Depth to 4 if your structure is:
Usb1\Games\
Minecraft\
4D530A81\ ← Title ID folder Aurora uses
Then open My Library → Scan Library and all your installed games appear by name.

Hdd1,Usb0,Usb1,Game). x360tm maps Xbox-style paths automatically. ConnectionResetErroron disconnect is a cosmetic Windows asyncio quirk when Aurora closes the socket — it does not affect transfers.- Local content folders (
LocalMods/,LocalHomebrew/,LocalGameSaves/) are empty by default and will not appear after a fresh clone — Git does not track empty directories. This is expected. Add files to them and they'll be picked up automatically.
