GPD (Game Profile Data)

GPD (Game Profile Data) files are used by the Xbox 360 to store information inside a profile. They are based on the XDBF format. Profiles are composed of many of these files, each named under their respective titles id (e.g. 4D5307E6.gpd for Halo 3). The dashboard GPD (FFFE07D1.gpd) contains information and sync information about all the titles.

Entry IDs

An ID of 0x100000000 indicates that the entry is a Sync List, an ID of 0x200000000 means its a Sync Data entry. In PEC (Profile Embedded Content) files these are changed to 1 and 2.

The Settings, Achievements, Title and Assets namespaces each have their own Sync List and Sync Data entries.

An ID of 0x8000 is reserved for title information, in the string and image namespaces. For achievements and images the entry id must match the id enclosed in the entry data.

String Entries

String entries are simply a unicode, null terminated string the length could be derived from the entry length.
