Tekken 6 Native Online: Tekken 6 for Xbox 360 recompiled for Windows, with no emulator, rollback netcode (on the GGPO principle), and an online lobby in the launcher. The launcher checks your disc image, copies the game data, translates the game’s code from your copy, and compiles it on your PC in about 3 to 10 minutes, depending on the CPU. It’s built for online matches: the game starts straight into the fight, the first player to win three rounds takes the match, and there’s MMR-based ranked matchmaking, a leaderboard, a history of your last 100 matches, and custom character looks. Since 2.3.2 it has a practice mode, and 2.3.4 (October 20) added Tekken 8-style frame data and the move list. The launcher updates itself, and most updates don’t require rebuilding the game. The source code is published in a separate repository (Ekspym/tekken6-native-online-source), without the full history: each release is added as one commit. Its author credits mahmoud-mess’s Tekken 6 recompilation for faster recompiled code. 3 of its 4 commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own Tekken 6 Xbox 360 disc image, the USA and Europe release, revision 1 (.iso or the extracted disc folder); the launcher refuses other versions. Plus 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, a DirectX 12 graphics card, and about 10 GB of free space (6.7 GB of game data plus the build). Both players must use the same version.

mahmoud-mess/tekken6-recomp
A static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version for Windows, built with ReXGlue, and the base that Ekspym’s Tekken 6 Native Online, also in this catalog, builds on. Since 0.9.4 (October 16), the download includes a portable builder: you pick your ISO and the renderers you want, and it compiles the game on your PC with the tools it carries, with no compilers to install and no internet connection; it deletes the temporary files when it’s done. The default renderer is Direct3D 12 with ROV, the most compatible one; there are also two Vulkan ones, experimental and, according to the author, still very buggy. At startup you choose the internal 3D resolution, from 640×360 up to the original 1024×576, and by default a 1024×1024 surface the game draws off-screen is reduced to 512×512, which can soften shadows. The author says 0.9.4 allows a steady 60 fps on modest PCs with integrated graphics. F3 shows a frame counter.
You needYour own Tekken 6 ISO for Xbox 360, the Europe and USA release, revision 1; the builder checks its default.xex and refuses other versions. Plus 64-bit Windows, a Direct3D 12 graphics card (the Vulkan FSI build needs fragment shader interlock support), and about 20 GB of free space to build, down to about 8 GB afterwards.
