Case study

Tenchu Z - HoloCatt Recomp Project: statically recompiling Tenchu Z

Alpha 0.1.4 statically recompiles Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360, the USA and Europe release, to Windows with ReXGlue. The archive is TenchuZ-HoloCattRecomp-0.1.4-alpha-windows.zip. Setup Tenchu Z.cmd checks the ISO and extracts it beside tenchuz.exe. Direct3D 12 and Vulkan are both available. Render scale runs from 1x to 7x. The hub and the first missions have been played. The rest of the game is untested. F6 opens the added menu.
