XenogearsRecomp

What you need: Both discs of Xenogears (USA) as .cue/.bin or .chd images, dumped from your own copy; a SCPH1001 BIOS from your own console is optional.

XenogearsRecomp is a native port of Xenogears for Windows and Linux, made by statically recompiling the game with the PSXRecomp framework. The game’s code and the disc’s overlays are compiled into a single program that runs without an emulator, and OpenBIOS is included.

Recent versions added a true z-buffer, SSAA, MSAA, TAA, SMAA and FXAA anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, texture replacement compatible with RetroArch texture packs, widescreen and savestates kept per disc.

The port is in alpha: the opening plays, but the game has not been tested all the way through, and releases are marked as pre-releases. The author says AI tools were used heavily in making it. The download contains no game data. It needs both discs of Xenogears (USA), dumped from your own copy.

How to set it up

1. Download the build for your system and extract it, then run XenogearsRecomp to open the launcher.
2. Under Disc Selection, choose Disc 1 and browse for its .cue, then do the same for Disc 2.
3. Optionally select your own SCPH1001.BIN under Settings, System; OpenBIOS is used otherwise.
4. When the game asks for Disc 2, save, quit, select Disc 2 in the launcher and continue from your save.
