// XDCKIT STATUS: Active development   2026 //
//////////////////////////////////////////////
Project XDCKIT — Xbox Direct Connect Kit
Status Active (library + XCETools host app)
Original roadmap 2021–2022 (extended; major refactors through 2025–2026)

INFO

  • Started: ~2016–2018 (exploration / prototypes)
  • Current focus: 2024–2026 — wire-accurate xbdm transport, XDevkit-shaped interop, discovery, file I/O, screenshots, consolefeatures RPC, and tooling hooks.
  • Goal: Emulate what the official XDevkit stack does over the wire, with clearer control and a single managed codebase you can extend.

How it works

XDCKIT speaks the same xbdm text/binary protocol the debug monitor exposes on TCP/730. It does not wrap xbdm.dll on the PC; it reimplements the session framing (200-, 202- multiline, 203- binary, etc.) so your app owns timeouts, threading, and logging.

Known issues / roadmap (symbol legend: == done · * in progress · -= almost there)

Area State
DmScreenShot / framebuffer capture == (xbdm screenshot + metadata + binary read)
Console features (LEDs, temps, reboot, …) == / * (surface keeps growing with xbdm parity)
Debugging (breakpoints, threads, context) *
File system (dirlist, send/get, partial I/O) == / * (bulk paths + quoting hardening)
Xenia Canary game-patches == (load .patch.toml, apply enabled rows via typed memory writes) — see game-patches

IDEAS

  1. Cheat Engine–style workflow — XCE Tools + memory search / debugger panels (*).
  2. Controller emulation — autoinput path exists; higher-level UX *.
  3. Live screenshot / streaming — capture works; streaming UX *.
  4. Async I/O end-to-end — * (Task shims today; true ReadAsync pipeline later).
