About

SF3TSOEReborn is a static recompilation of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition (Xbox Live Arcade) for Windows and Linux, built on the ReXGlue SDK. According to the README, it converts the Xbox 360 PowerPC executable into native x86_64 and arm64 code at build time and wraps it with a small host runtime, while rendering is still handled by the vendored RexGlue/Xenia graphics backend.

Getting started

You must own the game and provide your own dumped Xbox 360 package; the project ships no copyrighted code, data or assets. After downloading a release, run the included Python extraction helper to unpack the game assets into the assets folder, then run the game executable. Keyboard and mouse controls are enabled by default and can be rebound in the F4 menu or a config file.

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 must own a legally dumped copy of the game.
Python 3.10 or newer is needed for the extraction helper.

How to install

Extract the downloaded release.
From the release directory, run the extraction helper and extract the game assets into the assets/ folder.
Run the game executable to play.

Controls

Keyboard and mouse controls are enabled by default.
Bindings can be changed in the F4 menu or in sf3tsoereborn.toml.
