# DBZ Budokai 3 HD Collection: recompiling Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 HD Collection

> This is a native port of the Xbox 360 game Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 HD Collection, built with the ReXGlue SDK. The PowerPC code is statically recompiled. The v1.5.6 Windows release is DBZ-Budokai-3-HD-Collection-v1.5.6.zip. dbz3.exe accepts the original ISO, or default.xex with the US and EU data archives. Linux builds use Vulkan and SDL3 and start with ./dbz3. baserom.md lists sizes and checksums. Generated code is produced locally and is not uploaded.
