Perfect Dark Remaster Recompilation

RecompilationActive

The original game's compiled code translated into a native program for a new platform, usually a PC port.

About

A static recompilation of Perfect Dark Remaster (2010, Xbox 360) to native Windows x86-64, built on the ReXGlue SDK. It translates the PowerPC code in the game's default.xex into native C++ with no emulator or interpreter. The build compiles cleanly and boots to Direct3D 12 rendering with audio and controller support; it contains no game files.

How it differs from the original

Adds a third-person camera mod for solo play (toggled with V), a choice of Direct3D 12 or Vulkan graphics at runtime, a texture-noise fix and a fix for a hang on mission restart. Multiplayer and co-op are not implemented.

Getting started

You need your own legally owned copy of Perfect Dark Remaster, with its files extracted into the assets folder. Build with CMake, Ninja and Clang/LLVM after fetching the SDK submodule, then run the built executable.

Known issues & limitations

Multiplayer and co-op are not implemented.
