About

An unofficial PC port of WET (2009) for Xbox 360, built with ReXGlue. The repository does not include the game, so you need an ISO dumped from a disc you own. It targets Windows 10/11 x64 and Linux x64 with Vulkan.

How it differs from the original

The Quality preset uses 2x render scale, FXAA Extreme, 16x filtering and sharpening, with Ultra at 3x at 1080p and ultrawide resolutions also offered.

Getting started

Build the Windows launcher in Visual Studio, run it, click ADD ISO and pick your dump. Then run the setup and build PowerShell scripts, which clone ReXGlue, apply the patch, run codegen and produce wet.exe. On Linux, extract your ISO into the game folder and build with the Linux CMake preset.

What you need to run it

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

You need an ISO dumped from a disc you own.

Features

Quality mode uses 2x render scale, FXAA Extreme, 16x filtering, and sharpening.
The language setting uses the Xbox language the disc shipped with.

How to install

Use CHECK FOR UPDATE in the launcher to download the latest Windows release zip and replace the port files; the game folder is left alone.
On Linux, extract your ISO into the `game/` folder.

Controls

Left click shoots.
Right click uses the sword.

Summarised from the project's README.

Licensing & legal

The README states that port code is MIT and that the game and its assets belong to their copyright holders.

Additional notes

Wine: Wine users on the Windows build should set the renderer to Vulkan so the port does not go through D3D12/VKD3D.
Settings: F3 opens settings in game; resolution, language and renderer changes apply after a restart.
