RE:COPILE 0.2.2-beta.5 — Community catalog expansion

Community catalog expansion — gameplay untested

This beta adds 93 game entries and 104 project sources from community lists and the requested titles.

The newly added games and ports have not been gameplay-tested by RE:COPILE. Their presence in the catalog, an available package or a successful installation does not guarantee full gameplay, stability or 100% compatibility. Check each author's README, requirements and current project status before preparing your own game copy.

What's new

• Tracked project lists in Sources: search, pagination, original repository links and a status showing which projects are already in the catalog. Normal update checks add new metadata automatically; cached lists remain available offline.
• Tracks Awesome Xbox 360 Recomps and PortedGames — Xbox 360. List tracking can be disabled in Settings.
• Package discovery when downloading: use an unambiguous compatible release through the existing README/license review and installer. This does not download games or execute instructions from a README. Ambiguous packages still need source configuration.
• 16 sources have reviewed package definitions. This is a check of package metadata and installation entry points, not gameplay validation.
• Windows packages on Linux: the normal installer can use the player's installed Proton/Wine, with an explicit Windows label and per-game runtime selection. Native Linux packages remain preferred.
• Fix executable discovery for legitimate Crash/Test Drive names, reject ARM packages on x86-64 and retain the correct adapter for each operating system.
• Preserve custom source edits, executable bindings, runner choices and previous installed versions. Downloaded setup programs remain separate from prepared games, and opening setup does not count as game time.
• Translation fixes: English update-check titles and messages, Downloads text and the Xbox 360 engine label; project-list controls are available in English, Polish and Hungarian.

The full project list and author links are in PORTS.md and REPOSITORIES.md.

What was tested

• 142 backend tests covering the launcher, source handling, synthetic package installation, document/license checks and local state.
• Translator and frontend worker tests, plus the production frontend build.
• Real browser checks in EN / PL / HU, including 320 px layout, tracked-list status and the Windows-download option on Linux.
• Isolated startup of the packaged Linux AppImage and extracted DEB, including project lists, Downloads and Measurements, with no browser console errors.

These checks validate the launcher and installation flow. They do not validate the newly listed games. No real new game was run during this release's validation. No Windows launcher installer or native Windows gameplay validation is included in this update. Android remains deferred.

Existing players keep their local profiles, installations and saves. Port-specific README/license acceptance remains separate from launcher updates; a missing or changed project license can block installation.

RE:COPILE does not include commercial game data, ISO files, BIOS, saves, credentials or the private Publisher. Use your own supported game copy and the original project's preparation instructions. Original RE:COPILE code is licensed under GPL-3.0-only; third-party projects retain their own licenses.

RE:COPILE 0.2.2-beta.4 · FH2 Xbox One / Azimuth

Forza Horizon 2 (Xbox One) now has its own Azimuth entry, separate from the Xbox 360 recompilation. Open Download from the author to obtain the wrapper from Almost There Games, extract it and use Link an installed game to select azimuth.exe. Azimuth requires your own Xbox One game files. Windows 10/11 and Linux through Proton are listed by its author; local gameplay has not been validated by RE:COPILE.

External downloads remain on the author's site, with their own instructions and terms. They do not enter the automatic GitHub installer or update queue. No Azimuth binaries or commercial game data are included in these packages.

The Xbox 360 research status now records observed manual driving and festival arrival on Linux. Graphics artifacts, low FPS and stutters remain unresolved; this is an experimental port without a ready public game package.

Linux x86-64 packages: AppImage, DEB and pacman. Matching GPLv3 source and SHA-256 checksums are attached. Windows installer validation and Android remain outside this release.

Validation: 116 Python tests (115 passed, one skipped); packaged AppImage startup, catalog separation, author download link and manual instructions checked with isolated state. This validates the launcher update, not Azimuth gameplay or an OS package installation.
