So basically dumping copyright games, then uploading them to the internet so other people can download them - It all sounds a bit like helping out a warez site to me.

Best I can think of is the xm360 server. I used to build databases for it, but things come and go, so it won't show everything thats ever existed. It doesn't let you pirate, but it has a database of container id's to know what's what.

This is about preservation of a store that is beginning to shut down.

The ship has long sailed with Xbox piracy, and this is not intended to contribute to piracy.

That is a useful tool but that's only "part of the puzzle" really.

There is a Google drive with every xbla, xblig, their dlc and updates. As for retail games, I don't know. However, good luck getting anyone to do this project, because homebrew on the 360 is a joke and nearly all have moved on. You can get ahold of the devs left on therealmodscene site.

Yeah, although the data quality isn't that great with current packs like that unfortunately. Thanks, I'll look at that site.
