  "description_en": "XexTool-RE reimplements the closed XexTool utility from analysis of its binary and processes Xbox 360 .xex executables. Its C++ CLI and GUI inspect headers, extract basefiles and resources, convert compression or encryption, and document XEX layout and digest behavior. The author reports byte-identical output for most compared operations, with stated exceptions.",
  "description_zh": "XexTool-RE 通过分析原版 XexTool 二进制，以 C++ 重建 Xbox 360 .xex 可执行文件处理工具。命令行和图形界面支持查看头部、提取内容及转换压缩或加密形式；文档还记录了 XEX 布局和摘要链。作者报告多数已比对操作输出逐字节一致，但列出若干例外。",
