ShortcutRelayXBE

ShortcutRelayXBE is a simple launcher for the original Xbox.

You tell it what game or app to launch by editing a small config file, and it sends that game's TitleID to a Discord relay so your status can update.

No menus. No dashboard. Just launch and go.

How It Works

• Reads the path to your game or app from a file called shortcut.ini
• Launches the specified .xbe file (OFFICIAL Games currently, homebrew is iffy!)
• Sends the game’s TitleID to a Discord relay over your local network
• Automatically mounts all drives (F, G, etc.) before launching

Setup

1. Put ShortcutRelayXBE.xbe on your Xbox
2. In the same folder, create a file named shortcut.ini
3. Add this to the file:

• Path: Where the game or app is located on your Xbox
• RelayIP: IP address of the PC running the Discord bot
• RelayPort: The port your bot is listening on

Example INI

[Shortcut]
Path=F:\Games\Halo 2\default.xbe
RelayIP=192.168.0.174
RelayPort=1102

Discord Integration

This launcher works with xbdStats — a small Python based Discord Presence applet made by MobCat.

When you use this shortcut, the server receives a message and updates your Discord presence to show what you’re playing, just like on modern consoles.

Why Use This?

• No extra menus or frontends
• Perfect for shortcut entries on a dashboard or file browser
• Lets your friends see what you're playing
• Simple and fast
