  • Native portRecovered or recompiled code adapted to run on another platform.

Notes

  • Created with Xbox XBE Recomp
  • xboxrecomp-based native Windows and Linux port with a Vulkan renderer. Requires the retail USA release (title ID 5443000D) and Vulkan 1.3. Known issues include water rendering on Nvidia/Windows, Windows ISO installation failures and 21:9 edge pop-in. Windows has been tested under Proton and a Windows 11 VM; broader physical-PC reports are requested. Steam Deck first-run installation requires Desktop Mode.
