Mind over Recomp 0.2.2-alpha.2

Mind over Recomp is an unofficial, fan-made native PC port of the Xbox 360
game Crash: Mind over Mutant. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by
Activision or the game's other owners.

⚠️ Alpha: playable, but expect bugs, crashes and rough edges. Keep a
copy of your user\saves folder.

You need your own disc. The installer builds the game on your PC from
an .iso of your own Xbox 360 disc of Crash: Mind over Mutant (USA).
No game files are included.

Windows only for now. Linux comes later; until then, Linux players
stay on 0.1.0-alpha.

What's new in 0.2.2-alpha.2

An installer fix and one controls fix on top of 0.2.2-alpha.

• The SDK step no longer fails with "file INSTALL cannot find
  ...TracyClient.dll". The SDK compiled, but its last step couldn't copy
  a file it had built minutes earlier. On the PC where it happened, the
  antivirus had removed that freshly built file. It was a profiler library
  that nobody needs to play, so the installer no longer builds it at all.
  Thanks to Zepiririquito for the
  logs in #10.
• If a file the build just made disappears, the installer's error now
  says it's probably the antivirus and what to check, and the
  Troubleshooting
  page has an entry for it.
• A controller aims with its stick again while Mouse Aiming is on.
  Player 1 plays on the keyboard and can hold a controller too, but the
  reticle (a mask's aim, a TK titan's guard aim) followed only the mouse,
  so the stick couldn't move it. Now whichever was used last aims: move
  the mouse and it takes over, use the controller and its stick does.
  Thanks to zanettevini for the
  report in #13.
• The installer shows its version at the top of its window
  (for example "version 0.2.2-alpha.2"), so a screenshot says which
  installer it is.

Install or update

• New install: unpack the .zip anywhere and start
  Mind over Recomp.exe (if Windows warns about an unknown program:
  More info → Run anyway). Pick your .iso and a folder (~15 GB
  free, an NTFS drive, not OneDrive), then Next: install. The first
  build takes a while. Then start Crash Mind over Mutant from the Start
  menu.
• Already on 0.2.0, 0.2.1 or 0.2.2: open Mind over Recomp from the Start
  menu. It offers the update.
• Your install stopped at "Couldn't find cmake" or "file INSTALL cannot
  find"? Start this version's Mind over Recomp.exe and install into
  the same folder: it carries on where it stopped.
• Coming from 0.1.0: don't use the old launcher's Update button.
  Follow Updating from 0.1.0-alpha
  on the 0.2.0 page.

Download: MindOverRecomp-0.2.2-alpha.2-windows-x86_64.zip (Windows 10 / 11,
64-bit). release.toml is only for the update check; you don't need it.
