GoldenEye 007 Recompilation

About

A native PC port of GoldenEye 007 (Xbox 360 / XBLA), built by statically recompiling the original game into C++ with the ReXGlue SDK, with no emulator involved. The repository contains no game code or assets, only the source that wraps the game: menus, hooks, online, post-FX and build config. It runs on Windows and Linux, with an experimental Android arm64 build.

How it differs from the original

It adds online multiplayer through a separate server, a pause and settings menu, post-FX filters, controller support and a weapon quick select feature, and runs at 60 FPS.

Getting started

Download a release for Windows, Linux or Android, drop your game files into the assets folder next to the binary, and run ge.exe or ./ge. For online play, one person runs the server, and everyone enters a username, server address and port under ESC > ONLINE, then saves and restarts.

Known issues & limitations

• For online play, joiners do not need port forwarding, but the host's server port must be reachable.

What you need to run it

Features

• Runs natively on Windows and Linux, with an experimental Android build; no emulator or BIOS is needed.
• Supports online multiplayer; players can host or join matches over the internet, LAN, Hamachi, playit.gg, or a public server.
• An in-game pause/settings menu offers video, resolution, frame limit, fullscreen, and online setup options.
• Includes post-processing filters for brightness, contrast, saturation, and vignette, with presets.
• Weapon quick select switches directly using number keys or the mouse wheel on PC, or a touch menu on the second screen of dual-screen Android handhelds.
• Offers smooth, stable 60 FPS.

How to install

1. Download a prebuilt release for Windows, Linux, or experimental Android from the Releases page.
2. Place your own game files in the `assets/` folder next to the binary.
3. On Windows, run `ge.exe`; on Linux, run `./ge`.
4. On Android, install the debug-signed APK.
5. After setup, the host starts a match and the others find and join it.

Controls

• On PC, number keys 1–9 select the corresponding carried weapon in inventory order.
• On PC, scroll the mouse wheel up or down to select the next or previous carried weapon.
• On dual-screen Android handhelds, tap a weapon in the bottom touch panel to switch to it.

Licensing & legal

• The original code in the repository is released into the public domain under The Unlicense, while the ReXGlue SDK has its own BSD-3 license.

Additional notes

Weapon quick select

On PC, number keys 1 to 9 or the scroll wheel switch weapons instantly; on dual-screen Android handhelds the second screen shows a tap-to-switch weapon menu.

Android status

On-device game-asset delivery is still being wired up on Android.
