Forza Motorsport 4 (0herculabs)
0herculabs/hl360-forza4
Forza Motorsport 4 on Windows, with a dedicated launcher, optional Project Forza Plus 4 integration, and experimental direct-drive wheel support. The Xbox 360 game’s PowerPC code is translated to C++ with the ReXGlue SDK and the resulting program runs natively on PC, with a runtime that provides graphics, audio, input, profiles, storage, and content services. The launcher guides you through installing both discs, configuring the game, calibrating a wheel, and installing or removing Project Forza Plus 4, whose archives the user supplies. The README warns that it is a work in progress: menus and races have been demonstrated locally, including with a MOZA R3 wheel and force feedback, but full Career progression, every game mode, long sessions, and other wheelbases still need testing. Playing at 60 frames per second is recommended; the experimental 120 FPS mode causes visual artifacts. Version 0.3.9 is from October 19. One of its 4 commits lists Claude as a co-author.

Forza Motorsport 4 (Alexbeav)
Alexbeav/fm4-recomp
An experimental static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version with ReXGlue, on the author’s own fork of the SDK pinned to a specific commit. It recompiles the main executable and the two modules the game loads (XMediaFacade and SpeechFacade). On the test machine it boots, loads a profile, completes races, and saves career progress, verified from Amateur and Clubman into the Sportsman tier; beyond that it hasn’t been validated. It installs the four content packages from Disc 2. It uses a conservative graphics profile (native resolution, Direct3D 12 with ROV, and full resolve readback) that stutters and runs at around 30 fps in heavy scenes; stable 60 fps isn’t reached, and raising the internal resolution corrupts textures. A fresh profile can save blank car thumbnails. Online services and the marketplace are outside the tested scope. alpha.2 (October 15) is the first ready-to-play Windows x64 build, though that binary hasn’t had a full race-and-save test yet; the first release only had the source to build on your own machine.
You needYour own European copy of Forza Motorsport 4 Game of the Year for Xbox 360 (title ID 4D530910, media ID 42C67824): the complete, extracted Disc 1, with the Media folder and default.xex, XMediaFacade_default.xex, and SpeechFacade_default.xex, which are checked by SHA-256; an ISO alone won’t do. Optionally, the four packages from your Disc 2. Plus 64-bit Windows 11, a CPU with AVX2, and a Direct3D 12 graphics card; other systems are untested.
