Alien Resurrection (DiegoDeDios)
DiegoDeDios/AlienReRecomp
A native macOS, Windows, and Linux port of the US PlayStation release (SLUS-00633), made by statically recompiling the MIPS code to C, on a runtime that stands in for the console’s BIOS and hardware. The released builds contain no game code: they read the executables from your disc image and run them through the port’s own MIPS interpreter, with the same enhancements; the recompiled build is generated on your machine and is for personal use only. It adds widescreen from 16:9 to 32:9 that widens the field of view, up to 8x internal resolution, precision geometry that removes polygon wobble, a steady 60 fps, mouse and keyboard with rebindable controls, sticks without the original’s delay, sprinting, adjustable enemy damage, an infinite flashlight, and quick saves. The menus, the first level, the movies, and memory cards work; later levels haven’t been fully played through, and the Windows and Linux builds have only been tested under Wine, a virtual machine, and containers. 16 of its 35 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own US Alien Resurrection disc image (SLUS-00633), as a .cue with its .bin files. There are builds for macOS 11 or later, 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, and x86-64 Linux (glibc 2.35 or later).
Alien Resurrection (Heromachine)
Heromachine/AlienResurrection-Recompilation
A native Linux port of the US PlayStation release (SLUS-00633), separate from DiegoDeDios’s: a launcher statically recompiles the game’s code to C# with a fork of RecompOne kept in a separate repository. The released builds contain no game code or data: on first run it reads your disc image, generates the code on your machine, and compiles it, and later runs reuse the result; the disc is still needed to play. It has a front screen you can use with mouse, keyboard, or controller, and a Mods page with god mode and infinite ammo (which switch on the game’s own cheat system) and flashlight settings: brightness, color, reach, flicker, and a bigger or unlimited battery. It accepts memory cards from DuckStation, ePSXe, or PCSX. It’s an early release: one airlock door may not open and leave you stuck, the main menu logo is often garbled, the screen can go black after loading a save, the intro video crashes on some machines, the attract demo and menu background run too fast, and enabling native resolution hangs the game at boot. Version 0.3.0 (October 1) fixed the loading-screen hang. Seven of its 20 commits list Claude as co-author.
You needYour own US Alien Resurrection disc image (SLUS-00633), as a .cue with its .bin; the launcher refuses any other. A BIOS is optional. Plus x86-64 Linux; the AppImage needs FUSE (libfuse2), or you can use the .zip.
