.iso disc image or an extracted folder, and for the optional swimsuits your own USA copy of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a CPU with AVX2 and at least two cores, and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 runtime.Overview
Dead or Alive 4 Online is an unofficial native Windows build of Dead or Alive 4, Team Ninja’s 2005 Xbox 360 fighting game, made by static recompilation with the ReXGlue SDK. The download holds only the recompiled program and its runtime; the game’s data comes from the player’s own disc, and the first start sets it up from a disc image or an extracted folder. It is an alpha, but it plays.
It is a fork of parkerallan’s doa4-recomp, and its main addition is two-player online play: one player hosts, sends a join code, and both games restart into a shared session with everything unlocked and neither player’s save changed. The connection code comes from parkerallan’s Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate recompilation, and a router that blocks it can be helped along with UPnP or a forwarded UDP port.
Beyond online play it adds frame pacing, an Esc menu with game, control, photo and extras tabs, exclusive fullscreen, VSync and output size options, saved text language and subtitle choices, an option to skip the boot intro and full-quality photos. It can also build 34 swimsuits from the player’s own USA copy of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 as extra costumes, though some still show clipping and seams. The game’s own Xbox Live menus don’t work, and Linux under Proton only reaches a black screen so far.
How to Set It Up
- Download the zip and extract it into a folder of its own whose path has only letters, digits and spaces.
- Start
dead_or_alive_4.exe. The first time, its setup screen asks for your Dead or Alive 4 disc image or extracted folder and prepares the game files. - Optionally pick your USA Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 disc to build the extra swimsuits, or press Start without swimsuits and import them later from the Esc menu.
- To play online, both players use the same release. In the game press Esc, open the Online tab, and the host presses Host and sends the code to a friend, who pastes it and presses Join.

What's new in v0.3.4Dead or Alive 4 Online alpha-v0.3.4
What’s new in 0.3.4:
New
- Alpha-152 is playable. Tick “Alpha-152 playable” in the Esc menu’s Extras tab, then restart the game (the
“Restart now” button beside it does that). It is off by default. Online, the host’s setting is used for both players.
- She takes the old RANDOM cell on character select. RANDOM moves to a new last cell, and it can now pick her.
- She has one costume.
- Her model is not shown on character select in an online match where the two players’ DOAX2 swimsuit imports differ, or in Tag’s second-fighter panel. She is still playable there.
- In Team Battle her icon in the team list shows “?”.
Fixed
- Fixed a crash when a throw is the final hit (seen at the end of Ayane’s story against Alpha-152).
- Pressing START and BACK together in Sparring no longer leaves streaks on the paused picture (the pause now opens one frame after the position reset).
