I need help because I want to restore a rare prototype of The Simpsons Game for the original Xbox that was cancelled in place for the Xbox 360 version. I was wondering if you were able to extract an .xbe file to a .exe file.
The converter here- https://conversionai.com/file/executable/xbe-xbox-executable-file/xex-xbox-360-executable-file seems to do what you want. There is some proviso about possibly needing to purchase other software for some of those conversions. Best i can say is try it.
what you need to find is our little project from 15+ years ago called CXBX .. people kept trying to say it was an emulator.. but the reality was.. it was an exe/xbe converter.. you might still find your mission to be impossible.. because the XBE uses unique code hooks called "signatures"..(plus a custom instruction set) and well.. sig files do exist, but very very unlikely they ever got out for an unreleased, cancelled and probably never completed version of a game happy hunting where to find CXBX.. now that's the thing.. anybody seen Caustik?
Felida will most probably know or swizzy over at https://www.realmodscene.com/ sourceforge appears to have the version ps35528 mentions github has cxbx reloaded whatever that is. https://github.com/Cxbx-Reloaded/Cxbx-Reloaded
