orbita

Native Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud) client for the Xbox 360 (RGH/JTAG). Runs 100% on the console — login, catalog, session, WebRTC, H.264 + Opus decode and controller input — with no PC in the middle.

orbita is an independent, unofficial project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Microsoft. Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Cloud Gaming and Game Pass are trademarks of Microsoft. You need your own account and an active subscription that includes cloud gaming.

Status: closed beta (v0.20.x). Public beta starts at 0.22.0. Site, downloads and feature status: https://x360.pistatrack.com

• XeLL Reloaded v0.993 or newer, launched from Aurora via the XeLL Launcher app
• Wired network (Wi-Fi is not supported)
• Up to 4 Xbox 360 controllers (Xbox Series controllers are in testing)

What works

• Microsoft account login on the console (code on screen, sign in from a phone)

• 720p60 H.264 streaming, Opus audio, up to 4 controllers

Building

Linux host, libxenon toolchain (xenon-gcc 9.2) — see docs/adr/ADR-001-toolchain.md.

source scripts/env.sh                 # puts devkitxenon on PATH
deps/build-mbedtls-xenon.sh
deps/build-opus-xenon.sh
deps/webrtc-xenon/build.sh xenon
# FFmpeg (libavcodec H.264) for Xenon: see docs/adr/ADR-007-h264-decoder-base.md
cd app/h264play && make               # -> h264play.elf32 (boot from XeLL as xenon.elf)

Build options (BETA, GPU, AUDIO, DECODE_THREADS, …) are documented in app/h264play/Makefile. No Microsoft SDK (XDK) is used or required.
