XBE files (XBox Executable) are the main files that are executed in the Xbox System. In official games, these files are created by game developers, and then signed by Microsoft.

Title ID

A title ID is usually 2 ASCII letters for the publisher, followed by a u16 integer game number (Above 2000 for non-original Xbox games)

The title ID seems to double the information from the Xbox Game Disc mastering code etched into the ring or readable from the DMI. The game number is expressed in 3 decimal digits here which suggests that it will always be below 1000.

Examples:

FIFA Soccer 2003:

  • DMI and mastering code: EA02302E (Meaning: publisher EA, game number 023, version 02, region Europe)
  • Title ID:

Halo: Combat Evolved:

  • DMI and mastering code: MS00402A (Meaning: publisher Microsoft, game number 004, version 02, region America)
  • Title ID: 4D530004 [MS-004]

Halo: Combat Evolved:

  • DMI and mastering code: MS00404E (Meaning: publisher Microsoft, game number 004, version 04, region Europe)
  • Title ID: 4D530004 [MS-004]
