## What it is
extract-xiso is a cross-platform command line utility for creating, listing, rewriting, and extracting Xbox XISO disc images. Originally from SourceForge, it is now maintained and modernized by the XboxDev organization.

- create an XISO image from a directory of game files
- list the files inside an Xbox disc image
- rewrite the filesystem structure of an XISO
- back up Xbox game discs as ISO files
- prepare Xbox game images for emulation

## When to choose
- you need to create or extract Xbox XISO/XGD disc images from the command line
- you want a lightweight, multi-platform tool for Xbox ISO backup tasks
- you are working with Xbox emulation or homebrew and need XISO manipulation

## When to avoid
- you need to work with generic ISO 9660 images not in Xbox XISO format
- you require a graphical interface for disc imaging
- you need to burn images to physical discs
