About the Developer

Built by

Marcelo Frau

Developer, retro gaming enthusiast, and Xbox Dev Mode tinkerer. XB Homebrew Vault started as a personal tool to manage emulators on an Xbox Series S without touching the Device Portal web UI every time — and grew from there.

Built with .NET 8 + Avalonia UI, fully open source under GPL‑3.0. If it scratches your itch too, a ⭐ on GitHub goes a long way.
