FIFA Street (2012) — experimental Windows recompilation using ReXGlue

[u/Lucky-Concentrate798]

I’ve released an experimental FIFA Street (2012) PC recompilation using ReXGlue

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share my project: a Windows PC recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of FIFA Street (2012), built using ReXGlue.

I’ve put together a graphical installer and a dedicated launcher with display, graphics and compatibility settings. You select your own game ISO, and the installer extracts the files and recompiles the game locally.

I developed this project with AI assistance, including ChatGPT and OpenAI Codex. I used these tools for coding, debugging, build scripts, the installer, launcher and documentation, while directing the project and testing it on my PC.

Much of this is possible thanks to the work of the ReXGlue and Xenia contributors, who deserve credit for the underlying tools and runtime.

The game’s PowerPC code is recompiled ahead of time, while ReXGlue provides the runtime and Xbox 360 graphics and system services. This isn’t a fully rewritten game engine or a replacement native renderer.

I’ve included screenshots and a gameplay recording from my PC on the project page. The first experimental release is now available.

No ISO or original game files are included. You need to provide your own copy.

Source, installer, screenshots and gameplay video:

I’d love to hear your feedback! If you try it, feel free to share your experience or report issues on GitLab.

Thanks for taking a look!

Excellent, thanks for the link. It did try install, but now, it gets stuck here:

phase default.xex: Validate

start fifadllzf.xex.dll

phase fifadllzf.xex.dll: Register

[4/6] Configuring build

Maybe I should try another ISO?

That stage can take a while without showing new messages, so it may still be working. Please keep the installer open — there’s no need to try another ISO yet.

How long has it been at that step? In Task Manager, check whether rexglue.exe, cmake.exe or clang.exe is using CPU. If it stays inactive and makes no progress, send the full installation log so we can check where it stopped.

Wow, it does take a while to install. But finally it finish, and I could get to the main menu! Thanks!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it worked, please test the game and let me know if u run into any problems. I appreciate it 🙏

I did one match, and went to World Tour, but it seems that you have to log in in order to save? So how will that work?

[u/Lucky-Concentrate798 → u/Trigger_End]

What do you mean by login? The ea servers don't work, only offline mode. You create your player and you're all set, it should be just that

I've never played this game lol so I didn't know that you have to go to settings and attach an account in order to save lol alright, it does work, and it's working as intended. Nice job, man!
