Colin McRae Rally 2005
Game: Colin McRae Rally 2005 (Xbox, 2004)
An unofficial native PC port of the original Xbox version of Colin McRae Rally 2005, with extended graphics options and other enhancements, made with Xbox XBE Recomp; a PC version exists, but without modern controller support or 64-bit support. A settings overlay (F1) changes display mode, resolution, anisotropic filtering (up to 16x), anti-aliasing (FXAA or SMAA), brightness, and the frame pacing, locked at 60. It supports Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch controllers, PNG texture packs, and file overrides. The first start compiles the game’s code on your PC; the only release, v0.1.0-beta (October 28), is a zip of about 69 MB. All 70 of its commits list Claude as a co-author.
