About this project

Takedawn: native Mac, Windows, Linux, and Steam Deck port by static recompilation. The original Xbox x86 executable is translated to C and compiled for x86-64 and arm64, and a runtime draws the NV2A graphics commands with Metal or Vulkan. Adds render scale up to 4x, a widescreen HUD fix, ultrawide, your own music, and 5.1 surround.

What you need

Your own copy of the North American (NTSC-U) Xbox disc. The project ships no game files.
