Full Xbox 360 recompilation for PC debuts with Sonic Unleashed Recompiled

AI Summary:
After many years, fans have successfully created a native PC port of Sonic Unleashed, called Unleashed Recompiled. This allows the game to run on modern PCs. The project utilized tools like XenonRecomp and XenosRecomp, which convert PowerPC code and Xenos shaders into x86 PC-compatible C++ and HLSL code, respectively. This means that, in theory, any Xbox 360 game can be recompiled for PC. The PC port supports modding, allowing players to enhance the game with new features and customizations, such as Music Attenuation and raising the FPS cap above 60 FPS. Users who want to play with Unleashed Recompiled or create their own Xbox 360 recompilations must legally obtain their copies of the Xbox 360 titles and DLC.

This is pretty impressive work.
This also means that, in theory, any Xbox 360 game should now be fully Recompilable for native PC port goodness, including those unsupported by modern Xbox Backward Compatibility, effectively freeing several games from the graveyard — and opening the doors of modding wider than ever.
Sure, it might hit some legal obstacles for a time. But right now on Steam, there are companies releasing emulated versions of their classic games. I hope in a few years, this work turns into legal versions on Steam.

Always wanted a native PC version of Sneak King and Blue Dragon.

To do so legally, you might have to negotiate with that one guy who wants to own every copy of Sneak King.

It would be much easier to use Java mods to do this than wait for a MC recomp, check out Splitscreen Support
