Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space (Bruce Smith)
bruce-smith/Blinx2-Recompiled
A static recompilation of the US Xbox release: the game’s x86 code is translated function by function into C and compiled with MSVC, on a fork of xboxrecomp that reimplements the console’s hardware and kernel. For now the early game is playable: the intro movies, the title screen, the Time Sweepers hub, stage 01-01, and the first Tom-Tom Gang stages; later parts are largely untested. It draws with Vulkan at 30 fps, falling back to a software renderer when Vulkan isn’t available. It has sound, controller and keyboard support, saves, 2-to-4-player network play for Vs. Mode (over a LAN or a VPN), a cheats menu, and a tool that exports stages and characters to glTF. To install it, a launcher extracts your ISO, installs the tools, and builds the game on your machine. 100 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needAn image (ISO or XISO) of your own US Blinx 2 Xbox disc. To build it, 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with Visual Studio 2022, CMake, Python 3.10 or later, and Git; the launcher installs whatever is missing after asking. It also builds on x86-64 Linux, though that has only been tested under WSL2 and in containers.
Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space (apexJCL)
apexJCL/blinx2-recomp
A static recompilation of BLiNX 2: Masters of Time & Space for the original Xbox that turns your own copy into a native program for Windows, Mac (Apple Silicon), or Linux with the Steam Deck. The game’s x86 code is lifted to C with the xboxrecomp toolkit and compiled together with a replacement Xbox kernel, GPU (NV2A), and audio (APU); it is not an emulator. A wizard (blinx2-wizard) builds and installs the game from your dump; on Linux and the Steam Deck the Windows bundle runs under Proton, and on Mac there is a Metal renderer. The README says it plays with sound and saves, and it brings widescreen options, a free camera, and a HUD texture pack. The latest version is v2026.10.4 (October 30), with wizards of about 12 to 24 MB. 3 of its 30 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own copy of BLiNX 2: Masters of Time & Space for Xbox, as an .iso image or an extracted folder with default.xbe; the project refuses other titles. A machine to build it on (Mac with Apple silicon, Linux, or Windows) with about 15 GB free, uv, git, and Python 3.9 or later; the project downloads the other tools itself.
