Hacking How can i put downloaded unity games on xbox

[justinbug2]

Theres some good unity games, is there a way to pack them into the format needed and install them? no stupid answers please

Hey mate,

I was looking into this the other day. When you say Unity games, do you mean the Project or games like Yooka Laylee that are developed and packaged with Unity?

 

[justinbug2]

ones that have the files exposed

 

[Mazkarth]

If you have the project files it may be possible to create an appx and self sign it from within unity, however would also require the Xbox controller to function, or use a kB+m plugged into the Xbox console.

If it’s just the installed files after installing the game on a computer, probably not. It takes a lot to get back to a point that you can edit the source and package the files into appx.

How do u sign stuff in unity?

 

[Mazkarth]

Sorry not from within unity. But making the appx from unity then signing it later using visual studio. It’s more than likely need UWP setup in Unity to make the appx which I don’t know how to do.

Here is what you do:

1. Open the project in Unity
2. If you haven't already, download the Universal Windows App plugin
3. Convert to IL2cpp (in my experience it gets converted better than .net)
4. Create a build in a folder (before you do make sure it is master instead of debug(
5. Double click the solution file.
6. Click on project tab, then scroll down to store (make sure that it is master instead debug, and x64).
7. select sideload option
8. create x64, this will create appx file as well as dependency

you need the project file since you need code. As long as you can load it in unity, you should be able to do this.

Some games might have 3rd party plugins that require updating and thus knowledge of Unity code, but a lot of games should not have a problem

if you see some folders like assets. You need to open unity, then click open project, and select the entire folder that contains assets

I use visual studio 2017, the version of unity you need depends on the project

You want your unity version to be the same as the project. You will know if yours isn't if you get a message like "your project is different version from the launcher". If you get that, do not say yes, and just download the version that fits your project

it is one of the settings in the uwp player settings options. Your choices are either .NET or IL2CPP I believe. IL2CPP is better

Is there a way to pack it to work without visual studio? Or is it needed

Install Unity, and make sure il2cpp is checked (it should be one of the options next to android,etc)
