So what is it?

This project is a desktop application for browsing and downloading a large library of Xbox 360 games. It presents the library as a searchable list with cover art, developer and publisher information, region, file size, release date, and how long to beat statistics for each game. Users can search the library live as they type, sort by newest or alphabetically, and pick from multiple download mirrors for each game. The app is built to run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and is distributed as a single portable file with no formal installer. On Windows it is a standalone exe, on Mac it is an app bundle matched to either Apple Silicon or Intel chips, and on Linux it is an AppImage. Because the developer has not paid for a code signing certificate, Windows and macOS will show security warnings the first time someone opens it, which the README explains how to click through. The app checks for updates automatically a few seconds after it opens, downloading and restarting into a new version in the background if one is available, without requiring an account or collecting usage data beyond that update check. Uninstalling is just deleting the single app file, since nothing is installed elsewhere on the system besides a small settings folder. This tool is aimed at general users interested in Xbox 360 games rather than developers, and it requires no programming knowledge to use, only downloading the correct file for one's operating system and running it.
