New Xbox 360 Recompilation Tool Will Give Lost Classics Another Chance To Shine | Time Extension (www.timeextension.com)

Overview

The recently released XenonRecomp tool (link in the original article) has brought renewed interest to the world of decompiling/recompiling console games for PC. This open-source project converts X360 executables into C++ code, which can then be recompiled on any platform. Currently, it only supports x86 platforms and holds immense potential.

Impact on Gaming

There are over 500 delisted Xbox 360 titles that could now receive a much-needed boost in accessibility and legacy with this tool. Notable games such as After Burner Climax, Daytona USA, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and many others can potentially find their way to PC without losing quality or functionality.

There is also the tantalizing prospect for a native PC version of the GoldenEye 007 XBLA port.

What classic Xbox 360 game are you most excited to see reborn on PC thanks to this tool?

Perfect Dark Remastered on PC is all I need.

Was the same ever done for OG Xbox games?

The Darkness, Skate 3, Amped 3, Perfect Dark Zero + the remaster of the original, Crackdown, Fable II, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (1+2), Condemned 2…

Just a handful of games that I’d love to be able to revisit on Steam Deck.

God damn I've wanted to play Marble Blast Ultra for so long at this point

Skate 3!

I guess I'd take the XBLA version of Vigilante 8, since it's unlikely we'll ever get another game in the series or even a remaster of 2nd Offense.

Any indication on whether this has or will have XNA Framework support for XBLA Indie titles?
