About this project

A static recompilation of the original Xbox version into a native Windows program, with a fork of xboxrecomp. There's no ready-made exe: the installer checks your disc image, translates the game to C and compiles it on your PC in a few minutes, with a choice of a bundled Clang or Visual Studio with DLSS on NVIDIA RTX cards. Settings for resolution, 4:3 or 16:9, fullscreen and texture filtering, and a folder for file-replacement mods. Controller only. The README is in French, with an English summary.

What you need

Your own Def Jam: Fight for NY Xbox disc image (.iso, USA version), Windows 10 or 11, a DirectX 11 graphics card, an XInput controller and about 4 GB free.
