About

An experimental native recompilation bring-up for the Xbox 360 version of Saw II: Flesh & Blood, built around ReXGlue 0.10. The README says the repository holds the project scaffold, function boundary hints, build and runtime tooling and host-side integration code, and describes the status as early bring-up, not a finished or fully playable PC port.

Getting started

It expects a recent 64-bit Linux environment, and you copy your own game extraction into the game folder, with game/Default.xex as the minimum.

Known issues & limitations

The project is in early bring-up and is not a finished or fully playable PC port.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Xbox 360 version).

You need your own supported game extraction, including at least `game/Default.xex`.
The Linux workflow expects a recent 64-bit Linux environment and Vulkan plus the host window/input runtime libraries required by ReXGlue.

How to install

Put the complete extracted game tree under `game/`, then run `./run.sh`.
