What you need: Panzer Dragoon Orta (USA) for the Xbox, as a disc image (`.iso` or `.xiso`) or a folder with the extracted game (`default.xbe` and the rest of the disc), from your own disc. A 64-bit PC with a Vulkan driver: Windows 10 or 11, or Linux and the Steam Deck.

Orta Recomp is a native PC port of Panzer Dragoon Orta, SEGA's 2002 Xbox rail shooter, made by statically recompiling the Xbox game with xboxrecomp, with graphics, sound and input of its own on SDL 3. It comes from wootbeer, who also made Sin and Punishment Recompiled. No game data is included: the launcher asks for the player's own disc image or game folder.

It renders at one to eight times the original resolution, in the game's own 16:9 mode or the original 4:3, with MSAA up to 8x or FXAA and anisotropic filtering. Frame interpolation gives smooth motion above 60 frames a second, and Lossless Scaling's frame generation can be used with the player's own copy. There are colour, CRT, softening and bloom settings, positional stereo sound, a headphones mode and 5.1 surround with the game's room reverb.

Controllers, keyboard and mouse (with mouse aim) all work with every button rebindable, and the port keeps three save files where the original kept one. Extras open every Pandora's Box item without touching the save, skip the boot logos and show a frame counter. It is a beta: the whole game plays through, though frame interpolation can still cause problems. An Android build is planned.

## How to set it up

1. Download the zip for Windows or the `.tar.gz` for Linux and extract it.
2. Run `OrtaRecomp`. On the first start, choose Game files in the launcher and pick your disc image or game folder. A disc image is copied into the app's data folder.
3. Pick save file 1, 2 or 3 in the launcher and start the game.
4. F1, or Back and Start on a controller, opens the options menu. Alt+Enter switches to full screen. A blank `portable.txt` beside the program keeps settings, saves and game files in its folder.
