Case study

SSX Tricky: an Xbox static recompilation for Windows

SSX Tricky: PC Port translates the Xbox game's code to C with xboxrecomp and runs it as a native Windows program using Direct3D 11, XAudio2 and XInput. The repository contains game-specific port code and notes on gameplay systems and asset formats. Its regeneration script translates code from the user's USA disc, while additional fixes and recovered functions are needed to reproduce the tested build.

Requirements & limits

Prerequisites: Windows 10 or 11 x64 with a Direct3D 11 GPU and the user's USA Xbox SSX Tricky ISO.
Prerequisites: Source builds use MSYS2 UCRT64, GCC, CMake, Python and the documented Python packages; the regeneration script alone does not reproduce the tested build.
Limits: The author reports races through the results screen and hard-disk saves. The pre-race intro is often skipped, some graphics differ from Xbox, and courses beyond Garibaldi and Mesablanca are lightly tested.
License: No licence file in the repository.
