The Xbox Content Archive Tool (XCAT) is a crucial software that scans Xbox hard drives for unarchived DLC, dashboard skins, Xbox Live MOTD files, and game mods. It uploads unknown files to the XCAT team for processing, aiding in preservation efforts. MrMario2011 has created a tutorial for easy XCAT use. It is hoped that similar tools will be available for other consoles. XCAT simplifies software preservation, even uncovering valuable lost items. Using XCAT on your Xbox can contribute to preservation efforts.
