The first public build of Giants Recompiled: an unofficial PC port of the Xbox 360 version of Skylanders Giants, made with static recompilation using ReXGlue.

Important

This is an early test build. Giants Recompiled is a solo, for-fun project that started as an experiment to see whether a static recompile of Skylanders Giants was even doable. It is not meant to replace playing on Cemu or real hardware. Expect bugs, rough edges, and missing polish.

What you need

  • A 64-bit Windows 10/11 PC with a DirectX 12 capable GPU
  • Your own copy of Skylanders Giants for Xbox 360, version 1.0 (USA/Europe), as an ISO or an extracted folder. No game data is included; the installer checks your copy and refuses any other version.
  • A controller is recommended (keyboard/mouse emulation is available)

Install

Download GiantsRecompSetup.exe below, run it, and point it at your ISO or extracted game folder. The installer lets you choose your portal mode and resolution, and adds a Start Menu shortcut.

What works

  • Story mode is playable from start to finish with a controller, with graphics and sound
  • Virtual Portal of Power: press F6 in-game to place figures from your own dumps, or create new ones by name (up to 16 at once). Your progress is saved back to the figure file.
  • Real Portal of Power over USB: tested with a Wii U Traptanium portal, no driver changes needed
  • Ultrawide resolutions with a correctly widened field of view
  • Resolution scaling, frame rate limit, and an in-game settings menu (F4)
  • Keyboard/mouse controller emulation

Known issues

  • Performance can dip, especially the first time an effect appears (shader compilation) and during cutscenes
  • On ultrawide monitors, the HUD and menus are stretched
  • Game modes other than Story have not been tested
  • The F6 figure picker is mouse-only
  • The Xbox 360 Traptanium portal is supported in theory but untested
  • Linux builds exist (build from source) but are slower and have a red-tint rendering bug

Feedback

This is a test build, so bug reports are very welcome. Please open an issue with what happened, where in the game, and your log file (logs\ next to the executable).
