Beta v0.1

First beta of the Serious Sam (Xbox, USA) static recompilation for Windows.

You need your own copy of the game (original Xbox, USA release). Unzip, put your disc image (.iso or .xiso) beside serious_sam_recomp.exe and start it: the disc is extracted once into a game folder (about 1.8 GB). Without an image beside it, the program asks for one, or for an extracted default.xbe. Keep d3dcompiler_ms.dll next to the exe.

What works

• Native Direct3D 11 rendering at up to 4.5x resolution, with MSAA and anisotropic filtering
• Widescreen and ultrawide (Hor+), set under Options > PC Settings > Aspect ratio (Auto by default)
• Xbox/XInput controllers, plus keyboard and mouse with rebinding (Options > PC Controls)
• Mouse in every menu: hover, click, right-click for Back, wheel
• Escape, Enter, Space or a click skips movies
• Fresh installs straight from the disc image, with saves in the game folder

Known issues

• Only the first level (Hatshepsut) has been tested in depth
• A rare freeze during the boot movies
• One crash seen after firing in Hatshepsut, and one when DirectSound shuts down
• The main menu has no music; that is how the original plays

If it crashes, please attach serious_sam_log.txt from beside the exe.
