Cristalis 1.05 (beta)

Cristalis 1.05 (beta): Crystal Defenders Recomp, an unofficial native PC port of Crystal Defenders
(Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade) by static recompilation.

New in 1.05: the game no longer crashes when it closes (Windows); that crash made the next
start open in safe mode.

You need your own copy of the game: the CRYSTAL DEFENDERS (or 58410989) folder from your
console. These programs contain no game assets (pictures, sounds, music, texts): they are read
from your copy, which is checked on installation. Crystal Defenders belongs to Square Enix; this
project is not affiliated with or endorsed by Square Enix.

Downloads

• Windows 10/11, 64-bit: Cristalis-Setup.exe. Put your CRYSTAL DEFENDERS folder next to it
  and run it.
• Linux x86-64 (experimental): Cristalis-linux-x86_64.tar.gz. Unpack it, copy your folder into
  it, run crystal_defenders.sh.
  So far it has only been run under WSL (Linux running inside Windows), never on a real Linux PC
  or a Steam Deck; DarkLauncher's Linux side (window, menus, sound, controllers) is just as new.

Download them only from this page.

What it has

• The game on DarkLauncher 2.05 (open source, MIT): settings screen, pause menu, seven languages,
  keyboard, Xbox and PlayStation 4/5 controllers with vibration, achievements, screenshots,
  accessibility options.
• The game's six languages; internal resolution up to 3840 × 2160; HDR (Windows).
• A crash report that says where the game was ("W1, Stage 2, Wave 5").

It is a beta: played by few people so far; real controllers, real Linux PCs and the Steam Deck
have not been tried yet. Everything else: README,
CHANGELOG.
