About

A static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 that runs natively on Windows, built on the RexGlue Xbox 360 PPC-to-x64 recompilation runtime. The readme says the game is playable end to end at a stable 60 FPS, including menus, match types, create-a-superstar, season mode, saving and XInput controllers.

How it differs from the original

The internal resolution and aspect ratio are currently locked to the Xbox 360 defaults, although the renderer supports output at up to 4x internal resolution. Online play and broader modding support are not planned by the author.

Getting started

It needs Windows 10 or 11 with a DirectX 12 capable GPU and your own retail Xbox 360 copy of the game, since no assets are distributed. Download svr07.exe from the releases page, extract your game files into an assets folder next to it, and run it. A USA/Canada disc is recommended.

Known issues & limitations

Skinned wrestler models can occasionally show vertex artifacts.
There is roughly a 10% chance per session of a random crash from the host GPU device being lost; relaunch the game to recover.
