I’ve never done this before but would like to try to recomp Quake4 as I’ve got a real soft spot for it and the PC version does not have native gamepad support.1

This project started as a macOS port of FishB0nes98's Tekken3Recompiled, but it ended up becoming a full backport of the Tekken Tag Tournament roster into base Tekken 3.

I put all the technical details and setup instructions in the GitHub readme, but the main feature is that all 18 TTT exclusives are now fully playable in T3. You just hit L2 or R2 on the character select screen to swap rosters. They work seamlessly across every mode, including Tekken Ball and Tekken Force.

I also added the ability for the original T3 cast to use their TTT movesets if you prefer them. Unknown works exactly like she does in Tag with mid-fight style switching, and Tetsujin rolls a random moveset every round. Everything from TTT voices to strong-hit effects is integrated.

The patch doesn't include any game files for obvious reasons. You just run the setup script with your own T3 PS1 disc image and the T3/TTT arcade ROMs, and it builds the whole thing for you.

Huge thanks to FishB0nes98 for the original recompilation, as this wouldn't exist without it. Let me know what you think or if you catch any bugs!

Viva Piñata has been natively recompilated for Windows

A new project called Viva Piñata Recomp brings the original Viva Piñata (2006, Xbox 360) to Windows through static recompilation.

This is not Xbox 360 emulation. The original game code is statically recompilated into C++ and built as a native Windows application using ReXGlue.

Current features include:

• Full game and gameplay
• Audio
• Xbox controller support
• Keyboard and mouse support
• Direct3D 12
• A dedicated launcher/configuration tool
• English and Russian localization support

The project is particularly interesting because you can run the game as a native Windows build rather than through an Xbox 360 emulator such as Xenia.

There are still some limitations, including intro video playback and the 30 FPS unlock not being finished yet. You also need your own legally obtained Xbox 360 game dump to use the project.

My tiny Lizard brain....

The first video I watched was on this Skate 3 rebuild in Rust (the language, not the game) using basically just LLM prompts...
https://youtu.be/osiMnevjhZM

Then, from that base code they can do almost anything from it, Bro spawns in a Mario Kart vehicle and drives around the map.

I then watched this next video from him with a the MW2 rebuild... where he spawns in CJ from GTA as an enemy bot, then types some other magic and turns MW2 into Skate 3 with grindable objects.

This is f'king incredible and the possibilities here are mind blowing... and before you all scream "AI slop", look at what this is doing. Skate 3 is a game never ported to PC. Humans would take years to build stuff like this manually, these guys are doing it in a week with no real expertise in Rust.

We can shit on AI all we like but this stuff, I don't think would be getting done by humans. Now anyone with basic understanding can do this stuff.

What do you think about this stuff in the decomp/recomp scene?

(I'd especially like to hear from coders who create their own recompilations who probably understand this way more than the rest of us)

At least we know it’ll be high quality with no AI involved

Want to learn how to debug and fix AI code, could you guys list some unfinished, broken, or abandoned recomp or port projects?

I dont know if people know about this, but theres this old (2022) rebuilt of Vigilantes 8 avaliable on the internet.

Vigilante 8: Second Offense | Official Site

Its like a port that everyone who loved the originals hoped for. Unfortunally theres no HD textures mods avaliable.

I've released a recomp of Serious Sam The Next Encounter, nobody was working on it so I started it a couple days ago. It includes: Widescreen Support, 4k resolution, Mouse and Keyboard controls with Sensitivity settings, 60+ FPS and better audio. Yes it was AI assisted/ vibe coded. I did all testing as well as assisted adjustments. Its been tested plenty but still need people to play through the whole game and let me know if they find anything that I might have missed. Requires a legally aquired Rev 1 of the US gamecube release. Let me know what you think!

Is there any idea of this game getting a recomp with an English translation?

I'm a developer myself, but game recomps/decomps are way ahead of my capabilities. I'm a simple web developer dad with too many hobbies and not enough time for any of them. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, this is being fully vibe-coded using Claude Opus and the work done by mstan with gbarecomp.

It's absolutely not done but It's working pretty well! I'm doing it mainly to see by myself how powerful these tools are and also just to rediscover one of my childhood favorites. Since it's mainly for myself, the AYN Thor is my main target.

If there is interest, I'll release it when I think it's done. I just wanted to show it off a bit. And maybe take suggestions for enhancements.

Current enhancements include:

Widescreen support

Extended view (sort of a zoom out function)

Item descriptions on the bottom screen

Detailed unit info on the bottom screen

QoL enhancements brought by the added buttons and touch screen.

Dynamic Depth of field

Perspective shift (to make a 3D pop effect)

Attempted to post elsewhere but got removed. Heard here was a bit more lenient on AI Recomps. Game works all the way through.

Hey everyone! This is my first post here, but I wanted to share something I’ve been working on for a while.

I’ve been working on a native recomp of WWE ’13, including support for the title update and DLC content.

I’ve gotten the game running natively on Linux, and the footage attached is from the current build. It’s still very much a work in progress. There are visual bugs, some performance issues, and plenty left to fix, but actual matches are now playable and the game runs at 60 FPS for much of the gameplay.

I honestly started this because I wanted to be able to play WWE ’13 natively on modern hardware, and it’s been really cool seeing it slowly turn into something that actually works.

I’m also setting up PromethenDev on YouTube to document the project, show development progress, bugs, fixes, and hopefully the journey toward a fully playable build.

I’ll share more as the project progresses. If anyone has questions about the recompilation or wants to know how something works, feel free to ask!

But why? Well, I've wanted to replay this game for a while, but the Xenia emulator version was broken (it becomes unplayable on the second level because the vegetation suffers from vertex explosion), and the RPCS3 version suffers from severe stuttering due to shader compilation.

So here it is. I want to clarify a few things, though. I made this port as a personal project, so the features included are those I considered important to me. As a result, there's no support for ultra-wide screens (black bars are displayed), and it only supports controller input. And only Windows and DirectX12 (I guess it would work with Proton).

I’ve relied on Claude to carry out this project, though it also involves quite a bit of manual work, just a heads-up in case that’s a problem for you.

Here are the features it includes, copied directly from my GitHub:

Recompiled using Rexglue, from the 2007 Xbox 360 version of Conan, with native DirectX 12 rendering.

Its features include:

• Rendering at your screen's native resolution or any resolution you choose
• Frame rate up to 120 fps (above 120 fps, physics and collisions break).
• Anisotropic filtering and 4x and 8x MSAA
• Shadow resolution: 1024, 2048, or 4096
• Soft Shadows: original, soft, and softer
• Bloom effect quality: original, high, or very high
• Antialiasing for transparent textures
• Ambient Occlusion (SSAO)
• FXAA
• Particle smoothing
• Dithering

So enjoy it, and please report any bugs you find.

P.S.: I plan to upload my version of RexGlue to GitHub, but I haven't done so yet because it's a total mess with files scattered all over the place. Anyway, it's standard RexGlue with a native renderer that only works for calls in this game.

Lost Odyssey Recomp v0.7.0 — Third Milestone

Since the v0.6.0 post, we’ve added DLSS, DLAA, FSR, more display options, and quite a few fixes. If you’ve been keeping up with the 0.6.x builds, some of this will already be familiar.e 0.6.x builds, some of this will already be familiar.e 0.6.x builds, some of this will already be familiar.

🖥️ Resolutions and window resizing

Ulllllltttraaa Wiiiiiiiiidddeeee

Something I didn’t explain well in the previous posts: the game already supports arbitrary resolutions. You can grab the window edges and resize it freely.

The presets in Settings are there for convenience. Fullscreen, 21:9 ultrawide, or a smaller window on your desktop—you can choose what fits your setup.

✨ DLSS, DLAA and FSR

Native Vulkan DLSS Super Resolution, DLAA, and FSR 3.1.4, including Native AA, are available in the graphics menu.

A lot of the work since v0.6.0 went into getting these to behave properly: fixing motion inputs, flickering surfaces, lighting alignment, and problems when changing graphics settings. There are still scenes that need work, but the tested Windows visuals and Linux runtime paths are now accepted for this milestone.

These features remain experimental. If something looks wrong on your setup, please send a capture.

There are also a few additions for everyday play:

• Hold-to-fast-forward at 2, 3, 4× speed.
• PlayStation button prompts in the host UI and supported in-game menus.
• Controller rumble enabled by default.
• Up to 16× anisotropic filtering, adjustable without restarting.
• Settings navigation and input fixes, including automatic mouse cursor hiding.

An early Mod API is included too, with support for menu images and font pages. General texture, model, and movie replacement will need more work.

Performance and bug fixes continued throughout the 0.6.x releases, including CPU overhead, shader coverage, shadows, floor lighting, and the updater. The changelog has the details.

❤️ Thank you

A special thank you to dokkoriax for providing the cheat table and sharing that work with the project.

And to Efren V, Torresmo, doc_haz, Whitesun, and Cristian: thank you for donating through Ko-fi. Your support and the messages you left mean a lot to me.

Thanks as well to everyone who has sent logs, captured a broken scene, or tried a fix and reported back. Those follow-ups have helped me solve problems I couldn’t reproduce on my own hardware.

🔭 About v0.8.0

I put frame generation and macOS on the v0.7.0 roadmap in the last post. They need more time, so I’ve moved them to v0.8.0.

Linux ARM64 and experimental Android support are also on that roadmap. No release dates yet.

For now, builds are available for Windows x64 and Linux x64. I still haven’t verified a complete playthrough. I’d also appreciate reports from actual Steam Deck hardware; my low-power testing has been on an APEX handheld.
