Daemon-X File Manager

Original Xbox Open Source File Manager

On July 21st, 2002, the very first homebrew file manager for the original Xbox, boXplorer, was released.
It gave users direct control over their files long before dashboards and other tools came along.
Unfortunately, the source code was never released, so enhancements and new features couldn’t be added.

This project pays respect to that legacy with a new standalone, and most importantly, open source file manager for the Original Xbox.
