Xtaf is a Windows CLI for Xbox 360 image mounting, recovery, and size tooling.

The installed terminal command is xtaf.

Xtaf-CLI is a focused Xbox 360 filesystem utility intended for automation and integration workflows (including xecli). It provides partition-aware mounting, recovery/carving workflows, and image-size reduction tooling for FATX-based storage images.

• Xbox 360 only.
• FATX, STFS (CON / LIVE / PIRS), and GDFX (XISO) handling.
• Partition-aware mount flow plus custom-volume flow for non-standard images.

1. Install WinFsp on Windows.
2. Use .NET Framework 4.5.2 (or newer compatible runtime).
3. Run:

xtaf -i "D:\images\hdd.img" --list-partitions
xtaf -i "D:\images\hdd.img" --partition content -m X:

• Mount one partition or all partitions.
• Diskpart-style helper (--diskpart).
• Recovery pipeline:
  • metadata scan
  • deleted file recovery
  • signature carving
  • cross-reference CSV linking recovered/carved artifacts by probable directory groups
• Image size tools:
  • trailing-zero audit
  • trimmed copy creation
• Custom volume tools:
  • explicit --volume-offset / --volume-length targeting
  • FATX used/free stats
  • direct volume extraction for smaller standalone images

dotnet build .\Xtaf.sln -c Release

xtaf -i <ImagePath> [mount|recovery|size options]

For full command list and examples, see COMMAND_GUIDE.md.

• Recovery output contains:
  • metadata_scan.csv
  • carve_scan.csv (if carving enabled)
  • cross_reference.csv
  • grouped metadata_recovered\...
  • grouped carved_files\...
• Exit codes:
  • 0 success
  • 1 runtime failure
  • 2 CLI usage error

Fully integrated in XeCLI.
