Overview

The recently released XenonRecomp tool (link in the original article) has brought renewed interest to the world of decompiling/recompiling console games for PC. This open-source project converts X360 executables into C++ code, which can then be recompiled on any platform. Currently, it only supports x86 platforms and holds immense potential.

Impact on Gaming

There are over 500 delisted Xbox 360 titles that could now receive a much-needed boost in accessibility and legacy with this tool. Notable games such as After Burner Climax, Daytona USA, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and many others can potentially find their way to PC without losing quality or functionality.

There is also the tantalizing prospect for a native PC version of the GoldenEye 007 XBLA port.

What classic Xbox 360 game are you most excited to see reborn on PC thanks to this tool?
