Panzer Dragoon Orta PC – v0.1.0 (first playable release)

A native Windows version of Panzer Dragoon Orta (original Xbox), built from your own copy of the game. The game's code is translated to C and compiled for PC. It runs on a PC reimplementation of the Xbox kernel, graphics (NV2A → Direct3D 11) and audio. Every episode can be played from start to finish.

No game files are included. You need your own copy of the game: a disc image (.iso) of the North American release, or a folder of its files.

Install

  1. Download OrtaPC_Setup.exe below and run it.
  2. Setup looks for your Orta disc image by itself and checks that it's the right game and release. If it can't find it, press Disc image... or Folder....
  3. Choose where to install and press Install.

Setup downloads Python and a compiler (about 300 MB). It then builds the game for your PC, which takes about 20–30 minutes. When it's done, press Play or use the desktop shortcut. Setup cleans up its temporary files afterwards. If it stops part-way, run it again and it carries on from where it stopped.

Needs: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a DirectX 11 graphics card and an Xbox or other XInput controller. Leave about 10 GB free during setup.

Features

  • F1 settings menu (or Back + Start on the controller), which pauses the game: window or fullscreen, volume, controller options. Settings are saved to settings.ini.
  • Correct enemy and boss health for the North American release.
  • Saves go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\xboxrecomp. The game only saves when you accept the save screen at the end of an episode.

Known issues

  • The game can take minutes to start. It shows in Task Manager well before its window opens. This is under investigation; it's worth waiting.
  • Episode 3, the octopus enemy: the charged attack's hit effect appears near the octopus instead of in front of the player. AS the .
  • Episode 8: rarely, the game freezes just before the boss. Restart from your last save.
  • Windows SmartScreen may warn about Setup because it isn't signed. Choose More info → Run anyway.
  • Pandora's Box: None of the Pandora's Box content currently loads; they crash the game

Reporting problems

Open an issue and attach setup_log.txt (for install problems) or xbox_kernel.log (for problems in the game). Both are in the install folder.
