NHL Legacy Edition

Game: NHL Legacy Edition (Xbox 360, 2015)

A static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version into a native Windows executable, on the ReXGlue SDK and its Vulkan renderer, with patches of its own for this game. The installer checks your dump, extracts the disc, lays down the prebuilt binaries, and unpacks the game’s .big archives into loose folders so they can be inspected and replaced. It adds AMD FidelityFX (FSR upscaling and CAS sharpening), up to 2x supersampling, a color-grading pass (exposure, contrast, saturation, white balance, and tone mapping), shadow quality controls, an engine constants editor, and an overlay with settings, a performance HUD, and display options. VP6 movies are decoded by a bundled ffmpeg, because the recompiled decoder showed them corrupted; that fix is by alex-mcfadden. On Linux and Steam Deck it runs through Proton 11. The latest release is 0.6.0 (July 22). 138 of its 143 commits list Claude as a co-author.

You needYour own NHL Legacy Edition dump for Xbox 360, as an .iso or an extracted folder with its default.xex. The port is built from one specific unmodified image, and the installer checks default.xex by its hash: a different region, a modified dump, or one with the title update won’t pass. Plus 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 (or Linux and Steam Deck through Proton 11), a Vulkan graphics card, a CPU with AVX2, the x64 Visual C++ Redistributable, and about 10 GB of free space.
