Xbox 360 recompiling tools have released, allowing for fanmade PC ports!

Project 06 was too good, too "functional".

It's a bit wild that the existence of a version that "fixed" that infamous game, we now get people regretting the glitches lol.


On the other hand I want The Darkness 1 with mouse control.

This is huge! Sonic Unleashed just released a 360 port alongside these tools and the port is wonderful! Hopefully this means that games like Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Ridge Racer 6 and the Gears of War games can finally escape the Xbox 360 jail they've been in for up to 20 years now...

Duplicate threads are not allowed but neither have much activity so I’ll keep this open for now. Please check if a thread was already created before making a new one, cheers ?

It can be merged?

It can be merged?

It can ?
Haven’t done it before, still trying to find the action. No other mods have been online for the past few days so it’s difficult to consult them.
Easy issue though ?

Self-taught myself now. Merged successfully, cheers

Sorry for the trouble, then. I tried looking for any other thread mentioning this, but I guess I failed at that horribly.

tbf, all I want is to finally play Hokuto Musou on PC, no matter how lukewarm the games actually are... and this method seems to be a lot more efficient than emulation (although it requires expertise I do not possess)

No, you’re perfectly fine, no trouble at all. I actually found it fun learning how to merge threads so it all worked out, cheers

I like the hokuto mosous a lot, some of Koei’s best stuff for sure

Then you should rather emulate the game.

I mean yeah, P-06 will probably never have hubs nor side missions in those hubs but you're not losing anything not doing these but only the action stages.

That was kind of my point: I don't want just the action stages or "only the good bits". It's not regret, it's curiosity. I'm a late-bloomer Sonic fan who can't be bothered to find a copy, and enjoys playing bad games with friends (and sometimes without); can't help it, and trust me, I've tried.

I'll look into 360 emulation. I'd always assumed I'd have trouble with performance, since this PC is getting ancient by the minute, so that might be a whole... thirty minutes to an hour that I could lose. I expect compensation, of course.

Either way, I'll probably be playing the game another time over when the recompilation drops. And knowing Sonic fans...

I totally understand that feeling, I ended up emulating 2006 after finishing P-06 (after the Silver Update so I basically finished 85% of the game already).

To be fair I played the original Genesis Sonic games enough times already so I'm fine playing them in Origin or the Recompilation with a mod (Forever for Sonic 1, Absolute for Sonic 2, Angel Island Revisited for Sonic 3&K and Miracle Edition for Sonic CD) or romhacks (Sonic 3 Complete, Sonic Classic Heroes and Sonic 3D Blast Director's Cut).

Database-wise I'd think it's just appending the new thread post ID's to the old one, then making the newer (duplicate) thread name invisible, when safe then deleted... I think...

Ya'll need to chill. Hate to rain on your parade, but you really should curb your enthusiasm. From what I saw on Github, we're so, so, SO far away from getting any ports besides, well, Sonic Unleashed. This stuff ain't no "drag & drop -> it just works". Not a single port, not even close. People are stumped with this tool.
