A native PC port of GoldenEye 007 (Xbox 360 / XBLA), built by statically recompiling the original game into C++ with the ReXGlue SDK. No emulator — the game runs as a real native executable.

• Runs natively on Windows — no emulator, no BIOS.
• Controller support.
• Online multiplayer — host or join matches over the internet (LAN, Hamachi, playit.gg, or a public server). See Playing online.
• In-game pause / settings menu (ESC): video, resolution, frame limit, fullscreen, online setup.
• Post-FX filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, vignette, presets…).
• Smooth, stable 60 FPS (recompiled, with GPU-pacing fixes for the original's frame timing).

Grab the latest prebuilt release from the Releases page, then drop your own GoldenEye 007 game files into the assets/ folder next to the .exe (the release notes explain exactly what's needed). Run ge.exe.

• 🎮 Want to play online? Someone needs to run a server. Download it here → GoldenEye-Recomp-Server
• 🛠️ Want to modify the engine / recompiler? It's built on a modified ReXGlue SDK → GoldenEye-Recomp-rexglue

1. One person runs the server and shares its address + port.
2. Everyone opens ESC → ONLINE in the game, enters their username, the server address, the port, ticks Enable online play, and hits Save & Restart.
3. Host a match; the others find and join it.

Because players connect out to the server, no port-forwarding is needed for joiners — only the host's server port has to be reachable.

Most people should just use the Releases. To build it yourself you need the recompiler toolchain and your own copy of the game.

Prerequisites

• The ReXGlue SDK (provides the rexglue CLI + runtime).
• CMake 3.25+, a C++23 compiler (MSVC), Python 3.
• Your own GoldenEye 007 XBLA game files, placed in assets/.

Steps

# 1. Generate the recompiled game code from your copy (creates generated/).
rexglue codegen --max_jump_table_entries 2048 ge_config.toml

# 2. Configure, pointing at your local ReXGlue SDK checkout.
cmake --preset win-amd64-relwithdebinfo -DREXSDK_DIR=/path/to/GoldenEye-Recomp-rexglue

# 3. Build.
cmake --build --preset win-amd64-relwithdebinfo

source lives in src/: ge_app (app + window/menus glue), ge_menu (pause/settings menu), ge_hooks (mid-asm fixups), ge_postfx (filters). ge_manifest.toml / ge_config.toml drive the recompiler.

GoldenEye 007 and all related assets are property of their respective rights holders. This project ships none of that — no ROM, XEX, textures, audio, or recompiled game code. It only automates turning a copy you already own into a PC build. Don't ask for or share game files.

The original code in this repository is released into the public domain (The Unlicense). The ReXGlue SDK it builds against has its own (BSD-3) license.
