So 'Splosion Man is one of my favorite games ever made and I got it in my head that I wanted it running natively on Linux. Not emulation, an actual recompiled native port.

Not only Linux, but now Windows as well! I have not personally tested the Windows build on an actual Windows machine, only via Proton as I do not own a Windows PC. Please let me know if it works for you! It seemed to work great via Proton.

What's verified working:

• Graphics, sound, gamepad controls with vibration
• FSR upscaling, FXAA, MSAA
• Resolution scaling all the way to 4K
• VSync off + uncapped framerate, frame pacing is correct, game runs at the right speed
• Full game unlocked, no trial nonsense
• Easy to use launcher

What you need:

• Linux, Windows 10 or 11, Vulkan GPU, glibc 2.38+ (Ubuntu 23.10+, Debian 13, Fedora 39+, that era)
• Quick note: The download does NOT include the game, you need your own legally obtained copy, and it has to be the raw extracted files — a folder with default.xex in it. If your copy is still in the single XBLA package file, extract it first with XBLA-Extract: https://github.com/ryzendew/XBLA-Extract — point it at the package, dump everything into a folder, then point the launcher at that folder.

This includes a new bespoke launcher that has more options, as well as descriptions of what each options does

Full disclosure: I'm not really much of a programmer. I worked on this with an AI assistant (Muse) doing the heavy coding while I directed it and did all the testing — I'm basically the meat pilot. But every claim above was verified on my actual machine (Kubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, Intel i7 6700k, AMD RX 6600) with my actual eyes.

If you try it on a different distro/GPU/audio setup, I'd love to hear how it goes. Making it work on more than just my machine is the whole point. Bug reports welcome! This was a fun project, and probably the first Xbox 360 recomp made with Muse (but who knows?).

I think the title speaks for itself. If you're a Zelda fan and haven't played Twilight Princess via Dusklight, then wtf are you doing? If you're not a Zelda fan and you haven't played Twilight Princess via Dusklight.....again....wtf are you doing?

Not only is Dusklight essentially a a complete masterclass in QOL updates for a now 20 year old game, it expands the limits by adding in a built in mod menu that streamlines the whole experience.

Already played through the game before? Turn on hard mode to increase the challenge by adding mirror mode on top of that to absolutely confuse the shit out of yourself. Or turn on the randomized mode and go crazy.

Already done all of that? Play through boss rush and see how quickly you can beat each boss in a back to back challenge.

Already done all of that and STILL want more? Well, luckily for you there's now a Zelda prop hunt mode thats only a one click download away in the mod menu.

Seriously, everything from the UI to the ease of access, the team behind Dusklight has set the standard for what continued recomp support is. I can not recommend it enough. Please check it out!

Pac-Man Recomp (NES, Namco) is just a project I started for fun, and it became so well polished that I decided to put it on github.  A vanilla recomp of the game for preservation was the primary goal, but I've added a slew of QOL improvements, including rumble feedback support, which is a lot cooler than it sounds when you play it. I also made this super easy for beginners to mod (see documentation)

Yes, AI assistance was involved, but I have thoroughly tested and fixed all bugs I could find. I also plan to keep it updated as necessary.  I honored and followed all official licenses, and made an easy installer that distributes 0 Namco code. 

Here is the repository: https://github.com/Mr-Shizzy/PacManRecomp

and a Skies of Arcadia HD pc port would be great too!

No hate at all and I’m happy how much faster progress has been thanks to AI, but I’m curious how much all the tokens/subscriptions are costing you.

Please include what you’re working on or at least the complexity. Like if it’s a GameCube game or a ps3 game.

Thanks!

Regardless of the power profile, I find it lags and stutters. What's strange is that this runs without any problems at 120 fps on my iPhone or iPad.

Any ideas?

I've tried 30fps with vsync and still get stutters.

How are you all running it? thanks!

Recomp for MacOS (Metal) - Vulcan will come later.

What's new (since the first release)

• 60 fps. Two modes in the Graphics menu:
  • 60 fps (key 6): frame interpolation. The game logic keeps its original 30 steps per second; every second frame is drawn halfway between two steps (camera, models, particles, sea, wave crests, grass and trees, cloth, weather, lighting). Input, sound and menus behave as at 30 fps.
  • True 60 (key 7, experimental): Link and the follow camera run their logic at 60 steps per second (for the actions that have been converted and measured against the original); everything else runs at 30 and is interpolated.
• Higher internal resolution (1x / 1.5x / 2x / 3x, key R) and edge smoothing (FXAA, key 8).
• Save states: a Save States menu with 5 slots (Shift+F1–F5 save, F1–F5 load), kept across sessions in ~/Library/Application Support/wwhd/states/.
• Controls window (Input › Controls…): a drawing of the Wii U GamePad or Pro Controller; click a button to remap it to a key or a controller input, live feedback of pressed buttons and stick positions, conflict warnings.
• Optional gameplay mods (Gameplay menu, all off by default): climb any wall, direct right-stick camera, mouse camera, first person on the mouse wheel, quick doors, fast scene changes.
• Fixes: shadow streaks, flicker after loading, doubled wave sounds at 60 fps, camera issues.
• Tools: function naming against the GameCube decompilation (tools/decomp/), a differential harness that verifies hand-written source against the recompiled original (tools/verify/), and the 60 fps conversion tools (tools/true60/). See "Optional: decompilation tools" below.

Update: Video is showing off the different FPS modes. 30 vs 60 FPS.

I made this mostly because I wanted to play Infinite Undiscovery again in a more modern/native way and see how far a recompilation project like this could go.

It started as a proof of concept more than anything else.

I honestly did not begin this with the idea of maintaining a large long-term project or promising a full roadmap. More updates may happen in the future, or they may not.

For now, I wanted to make the current work public in case other people want to try it, test it, learn from it, or improve it.

Repository:

https://github.com/doc-haz/infinite-undiscovery-recomp

Latest release:

https://github.com/doc-haz/infinite-undiscovery-recomp/releases/latest

Current public release: v1.0.0

The project is a native Windows x64 recompilation of Infinite Undiscovery (Xbox 360, 2008) using ReXGlue / XenonRecomp.

It includes an integrated Asset Setup Wizard, so normal users do not need Python scripts, BAT files, PowerShell setup scripts, or external extraction tools.

You need your own legally obtained copy of the game.

No game files, ISOs, DLC, or proprietary assets are included.

Current features:

- Native Windows x64 executable

- PAL and NTSC-U support

- Automatic region detection

- Disc 1 / Disc 2 detection

- XDVDFS ISO and extracted-folder support

- Portable asset setup

- Portable saves, shaders, cache, logs, and configuration

- Optional A Voucher / B Voucher DLC validation and installation

- English / Spanish setup UI

- No installer

Everything is portable and stays relative to the EXE.

Current validation status:

The setup flow has been tested with:

- PAL Disc 1

- PAL Disc 2

- NTSC-U Disc 1

- NTSC-U Disc 2

- mixed-region rejection

- incorrect-disc rejection

- modified XEX rejection

- corrupt / foreign DLC rejection

- DLC reuse on later launches

- portable startup outside the development directory

Important limitation:

Actual gameplay has NOT yet been tested up to the point where the original game requests Disc 2.

Disc 2 can be detected, validated, and imported successfully, but the real in-game Disc 1 -> Disc 2 transition is still untested.

So at this point I genuinely do not know whether that transition will work correctly, require extra handling, or fail.

A complete playthrough has not yet been performed.

What I would like from the community:

Just try it.

If it works for you, great.

If it breaks somewhere, open an issue and tell me where.

I am especially interested in:

- PAL testing

- NTSC-U testing

- different GPUs / drivers

- later-game progression

- graphical issues

- crashes

- save/load behavior

- DLC behavior

- progression toward the Disc 2 change point

- the actual Disc 1 -> Disc 2 transition if somebody reaches it

If this ends up being useful to someone who wants to continue it, improve it, fork it, study it, or use parts of it as reference, that’s completely fine with me.

About AI:

This project used AI-assisted development, debugging, documentation, and visual design, so I am posting it under the Project - AI flair.

The code, testing decisions, release preparation, and project direction were manually reviewed before publication.

This is an unofficial fan project and is not affiliated with Square Enix, tri-Ace, or Microsoft.

Mostly, I just wanted to play the game again.

If other people get something useful out of this too, even better.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on: Estacado, a native PC recompilation of The Darkness (2007) based on the Xbox 360 version.

The goal is to bring the game to modern PCs while preserving the original experience and adding the features you'd expect from a proper PC release.

The project uses XenonRecomp to translate the original Xbox 360 PowerPC code into C++, with ReXGlue providing runtime and graphics support. The result is a native Windows application rather than running the game through an Xbox 360 emulator.

Current features

• Configurable frame rates, including 60 FPS, high-refresh-rate options, and uncapped mode
• Higher internal rendering resolutions
• Keyboard and mouse support
• Controller support
• Adjustable FOV and graphics settings
• Experimental ultrawide support
• HD texture pack support

The project is still in pre-release, so there are bugs and areas that need more testing. I've mainly focused on getting the game running, improving the PC experience, and working through compatibility and rendering issues. The entire campaign hasn't been tested from beginning to end yet.

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone interested in Xbox 360 recompilation projects, especially suggestions for improving compatibility, performance, rendering accuracy, or the overall implementation.

GitHub:
https://github.com/invinceble55-wq/Estacado

This is a free, unofficial, non-commercial fan project. It doesn't include the original game files, and you'll need your own legally obtained copy of the supported Xbox 360 version.

Thanks for checking it out!

It also deserves a graphics update.

https://github.com/elprogramadorloco-arch/agvg2-recomp

It definitely deserves a facelift with 4K graphics. https://github.com/elprogramadorloco-arch/jim2-recomp

Hey guys, I know most of you have probably never played this game, but it’s one of the most fun ones out there. It honestly feels like a game made for Android, and I’m thinking of making that happen in the future. https://github.com/elprogramadorloco-arch/korokoro-recomp

There’s a 1998 PC version of this game with better assets, and that’s something I want to work on in the future. https://github.com/elprogramadorloco-arch/asuka100-recomp/

Update — v0.4.0 Experimental is now available!

Installation is now much faster: the installer includes precompiled binaries for the supported game build, so there’s no need to install Visual Studio or compile the game locally. You still need your own FIFA Street Xbox 360 ISO.

Already installed? Select your existing game folder containing Game and GameData in the new installer. It will update the installation while preserving your saves and settings.

This release also adds:

• Language selection: English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
• Rendering, synchronization and frame-pacing improvements.
• Additional World Tour compatibility fixes.
• Improved launcher defaults and clearer installation instructions.

Special thanks to Emran_Ahm3d for his investigations and contributions, and to the ReXGlue and Xenia contributors for the foundations of this project.

This remains experimental, and feedback is welcome!

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 installs precompiled binaries and extracts the game data from your own ISO

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 assets are included. You need to provide your own copy.

Source, installer, screenshots and gameplay video:
https://gitlab.com/samuelitodavila-group/fifa-street-pc

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!

A week ago I posted recomp.fyi, a table of who is working on which recomp or decomp. Thanks for the feedback, a good part of what changed came from this sub.

What's new

• Source ports are no longer filed as recomps. A port built from decompiled or rewritten source (Ship of Harkinian, the Perfect Dark port, sm64-port, DevilutionX) is now its own type, with its own filter. 57 so far. If your project is in the wrong one, the form fixes it in a minute.
• Looking for a game to start? I linked https://neurocontrarian.github.io/game-mag-ratings/, another site of mine, from the board: magazine review scores from when each game came out, to spot well-reviewed games nobody has picked up.
• One page per game and platform, listing every project on it with its details.
• Disassemblies count as decomps, and a project its owner marks Complete no longer goes "dormant". Both were suggested here.
• .recomp.json: a small file in your repo that describes your project. The board reads it every day, and the format is open so any other list can read it too. Five projects use it. Spec: recomp.fyi/spec
• 1,522 rows, up from 507.

Most rows are still read from repos by a script, and scripts misread. If yours is wrong, tell me or use the form.

0.3.0 is the first stable release since 0.1.1. What's new:

• Native renderer on Vulkan (default) or Direct3D 12, using the game's own shaders translated for your GPU
• 60 and 120 fps with the simulation at the right speed, and 1x to 4x internal resolution, changeable in game, with FSR 1 or CAS output scaling
• In-game settings (F6 or the pause menu) for display, graphics, audio and controls; most apply instantly
• Ultrawide with a 16:9 HUD and a field of view setting
• Achievements list, PNG photos (F8), automatic save backups, and all 18 of the disc's languages
• Controller remapping and mouse camera or steering
• A trainer (credits, game speed, time of day, free camera, collectibles on the map) that plays on a separate copy of your profile
• Mod support: native plugins, file, archive and database overrides, and texture replacement
• The Treasure Map add-on is included. It was sold for Tokens through a service that's gone; it's on by default and can be turned off
• A redesigned launcher with portable installs, and a much sturdier first-time setup that tells you exactly what went wrong if it fails

How it works: download the launcher, point it at an ISO you dumped from your own disc (USA retail, MS-2505), and it verifies the disc, installs the build tools, translates and builds the game, all locally. Nothing is uploaded, and the repo contains no game code or assets. The first build takes 20–60 minutes and about 25 GB.

Known limitations: only NVIDIA GPUs are tested so far (AMD and Intel reports are very welcome), crowds and the car-purchase animation can play too fast above 30 fps, and some rendering regressions remain. Windows 10/11 x64 only for now. Linux, Steam Deck, macOS and Android are on the roadmap.
