About this project

Native Windows x64 port: the Xbox 360 executable is translated to C++ ahead of time and built into DarkRecomp.exe, with its own D3D11 renderer and no emulation at run time. Playable today from start to finish, with mouse look, controller support, video settings (resolution, FOV, gamma, bloom, frame cap, and VSync), XMA audio, and saves.

What you need

Your own The Darkness dump (Xbox 360): the original default.xex plus the Content and System folders. The repository ships no game code, assets, or binaries.
