1.0.3

Lighting fix: the world now looks the way it does on an Xbox.

• Brightness: the sky and background were drawn at half brightness. They're back to normal.
• Shadows: Spyro, Sparx and enemies cast shadows again.
• Glow: Sparx and other glowing effects light up again.

All three came from one broken shadow effect. The port drew it over the whole background instead of only under the characters.

Install over your existing copy. Your settings and saves are kept.

Built against xboxrecomp spyro-anb-1.0.0 (dab4340).

1.0.2

New since 1.0.1:

• Language setting (#1): choose English, French, Spanish, German, Italian or Dutch in the launcher (Game → Language) or with Language = ... in spyro.ini. Text, subtitles and voices all switch. Auto, the default, follows your Windows display language and uses English when the game doesn't have it. If your Windows is in one of those languages and you'd rather play in English, set Language = English.

Install over 1.0.1 with SpyroANB-PC-1.0.2-Setup.exe; your settings and saves are kept. You still need your own copy of the game, as described in 1.0.0.

Built on xboxrecomp, branch spyro-anb-1.0.0.

1.0.1

Fixes since 1.0.0:

• White screen after long sessions: after many level loads the picture shrank into the top-left corner with white around it. Fixed.
• Bright line along the top and left edges: gone.
• Mouse: the pointer is hidden over the picture while the mouse is captured (F9 still releases it), and the mouse camera now responds properly.
• SteamOS / Proton handhelds: the game's memory is now reserved so it no longer collides with ranges Wine/Proton already uses.

Install over 1.0.0 with SpyroANB-PC-1.0.1-Setup.exe; your settings and saves are kept. You still need your own copy of the game, as described in 1.0.0.

Built on xboxrecomp, branch spyro-anb-1.0.0.

1.0.0 — early release

First public build of the PC port of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (original Xbox).

Early release: there may be bugs. Only the first level has been played through so far, so later levels, cutscenes and menus may have problems that haven't been seen yet. Please report anything you hit in Issues. Set Log = 1 in spyro.ini and attach spyro.log, or crash.txt if the game crashed.

You need your own copy of the game

This release contains none of the game. Setup asks for your copy of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning for the original Xbox (title VU-074, version 1), as a game folder, the disc in a drive that can read it, or an Xbox disc image (.iso, full or trimmed). It checks the version and copies the files in.

What's in it

• Native Windows, DirectX 11, 60 FPS in the first level, render scale up to 4x, real 16:9 widescreen
• Keyboard and mouse with rebindable keys (mkb.ini), or any XInput controller. On-screen button prompts switch to match what you're using
• Controller hot-plug: unplugging the controller you're using pauses the game
• Launcher for display, controls and game settings, with an option to skip the logo movies
• Closing the window quits cleanly and lets a save in progress finish first

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a DirectX 11 graphics card. On "N" editions of Windows, install the Media Feature Pack for music and movies.
