This Xbox 360 recompilation proves how good fan ports can be when they aren't vibe-coded.

    Um, that’s really cool and I would love to have it but finding the repo links on those articles is really difficult.

    As far as I am aware now the official repo is gone? Anyone have different information? I found some others with like 6+ months old commits that I don’t think are it either.

    Edit: nobody? Just another dead project?

    Amazing! I have no idea how I missed this game when it first released outside I really didnt follow or have an xbox 360. I found out about it last year and quickly tried to play it using the emulator mentioned in the article. It was ok, but there were clearly a bunch of issues still and did crash. The worst was each fight didnt seem to be able to render the dragons that sit behind you. I think i played about 5 hours of it before i moved on, but i really enjoyed what i played. I will defintely be playing this over the weekend. I wonder if there is anyway i can import my current save.

      I actually got the urge to replay this a few months ago and have been chewing through it on Xenia. Halfway through disc 2 and zero crashes. The Shadows show up fine. The only visual issue I’ve noticed is with “furry” character/monster models, they show up as smooth or transparent but thankfully there’s only a few models affected by it.

      If it’s easy to transfer my save file though I’m absolutely hype to move to the recomp!

        Great! Glad to know its tranferable. I have an AMD gpu, not sure if that was the reason for the glitches.

          well, i did say “if”, they haven’t confirmed how easy the transfer process is. Xenia does some weird stuff with saves (namely, it creates an “Xbox Profile”) but i bet there will be a way.

          Yeah, my GPU is an NVIDIA 3070, so either that or the fact that i tried more recently than you would explain the glitch disparity.

      Of a 360 game? No. There might be a different game with the same name and characters tho. DS “ports” of home console games were usually just completely different games.
