Still standing entirely on MiddleDucky's Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets ports. Thank you, MiddleDucky.

New

  • The European (PAL) disc works. It boots to its language screen and plays New Game into the Hogwarts Express.
    Each disc has its own download; the Barthes Launcher picks the right one for your disc.
  • PC Settings from the pause menu: while the game is paused, Back opens a page with the port's settings, drawn
    over the game's own menu area. F10 now has the same tabs, rows and descriptions as the other two ports.

Fixes

  • The game's Xbox disk images now live beside it, in saves\xbox, instead of a folder shared by every port
    (%LOCALAPPDATA%\xboxrecomp). Each port keeps its own, the folder stays portable, and a game started from a
    packaged (MSIX) app no longer quits at boot because it can't open them.

Installing

The easiest way is the Barthes Launcher: it installs the build for your disc, unpacks and checks the disc, and keeps the port up to date.
By hand: download the zip for your disc (USA for the North American disc, PAL for the European one), put your disc's files or the .iso in a game folder beside the executables and start hppoa_launcher.exe. Updating: replace the files from the zip and keep your hppoa.toml, saves\ and shadercache\.

You need your own copy of the game. Nothing from the game is included.
