thesyndrome “You must find the game files yourself. This game was never released publicly.” "you must find the game files yourself"…from an unreleased port? I'm familiar with projects that verge on the line of piracy to tell clients that they need to get certain critical files themselves, but usually they ask you to get things that were once available to public, and not a leak of an internal build of a game that never made it to launch. Am I the only one who thinks this is really weird? It's like saying you discovered how to make infinite energy and will release it for everyone, then to turn around and go "oh and you need to do all the formulas yourself or what I release won't work. GOOD LUCK!" Reply

GOOD LUCK!" its not weird. they know people will do it w/o owning it and is exactly why they worded it the way they did. As you said it is in the grey area of piracy. (which cant go into becasue TH mods like to bonk people for discussing it even to get points across) Reply

alrighty_then I remember GoldenEye back in the day, a GREAT game. Later Perfect Dark was better in many ways and was probably the most overdeveloped game ever as the number of game modes even included taking control of random enemies to try to stop a friend playing the normal single player game. Way ahead of its time. Reply

marbleofdoom There are a couple of threads on Reddit talking about his release. Apparently this is just a vibe coded wrapper for Xenia, "claude" is the second contributor on in the repo. Several redditors have already tried it and are claiming it runs worse than just emulating the x360 game. Reply
