The Xbox hard disk contains files in some different formats, most of which are new:

*.xbe

XBE files are signed Xbox executables. Their format is similar to the Win32 PE format.

*.xtf

It is unknown what the XTF files contain. The hard disk contains two of them (Xbox Book.xtf and Xbox.xtf, about 15 MB each). They start with "XTF0 \0\0\0" followed by its file name without extension and compress down to less than 6 MB. They might contain image data, because every fourth byte is 0.

*.xip

XIP files (Xbox ZIP?) are uncompressed archives containing several files, usually of the types xm, xap and xbx.

*.xm

XM files (Xbox Mesh) contain mesh data for 3D objects. They start with "XPR0".

*.xap

XAP files (Xbox Application) are JavaScript executables that get interpreted by xboxdash.xbe. They control the Dashboard menus.

*.xbx

XBX files are deflate-compressed (zlib) images.

Thank you! I've corrected the date in the article. However, some websites list January 1980 as the date of death.
