SSX 3 (koenhendriks)

Game: SSX 3 → (Xbox, 2003)

A static recompilation of the PAL Xbox release into a native Windows and Linux program, built with xboxrecomp (pinned at 0.13.1, with the project’s own patches): the game’s code runs as native code, and the Xbox GPU is emulated on Vulkan. According to the project, the whole game works: every Race and Freestyle event on all three peaks, Conquer the Mountain, two-player split screen, and saves. It runs at 60 fps, including the stretches where the original dropped to 30, at your monitor’s height and in true widescreen (16:9, 21:9, or 32:9), with a widened camera and the HUD at the edges. It adds up to 8x MSAA, anisotropic filtering, up to double view distance, sharper shadows, 5.1 surround sound on Windows, an optional CRT TV filter, and rebindable keys, and a launcher checks your copy and gathers the options. Since October 19, the repository includes Bl4ckH4nd’s HD texture pack for the PS2 version, matched to the Xbox textures, which the project says is distributed with EA’s approval. The only release, 0.1.0 (October 16), is for Windows; on Linux you build it yourself, and on Linux for Apple silicon Macs (Asahi) it reaches the menus. The audio effects processor isn’t implemented, so there’s no reverb.

You needThe files from your own PAL copy of SSX 3 for Xbox: default.xbe and the data folder, extracted from the disc (for example, with extract-xiso); the launcher checks that it’s the PAL release. Plus 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and a Vulkan graphics card; on Windows N editions, the Media Feature Pack. Building it requires Visual Studio 2022 with C++, the Vulkan SDK, Git, and Python 3.9 or later; on Linux, GCC or Clang, CMake, Ninja, SDL2, and the Vulkan headers.
