Aegis Wing XBLA PC Recomp v0.9.1

A bug-fix and packaging update for Aegis Wing XBLA PC Recomp. The download is now one program: open Aegis Wing.exe and it sets itself up the first time, then simply starts the game.

You need your own copy of Aegis Wing. This download contains no original game executable, graphics, sound, music or other game data. The first time you start it, it reads your own Xbox 360 Aegis Wing package (Title ID 5841083C) and imports the game data into the same folder on your PC.

New: one launcher, portable folder

• Open Aegis Wing.exe and that is all. If your package sits beside it (or in a Game Package folder), it is found and imported automatically; otherwise drag it onto the window or choose Browse package. Then press PLAY. From then on it starts the game straight away.
• Everything stays in the folder. The game runs from resources\runtime, game data is in resources\assets and your saves, high scores and settings are in resources\userdata. No installer, no administrator rights, nothing written to the registry, no PowerShell.
• Coming from v0.9.0 or v0.9.1 (Setup Aegis Wing.exe + Game folder)? Extract this release next to it or inside it: the old install is found, your saves, high scores and settings carry over, and the old folder is never changed.

Fixed

• Exit Game no longer leaves the game running in the background. In v0.9.0, choosing Exit Game closed the window but left a hidden copy running, which blocked the next launch (it started to a black screen). If you hit this, restart Windows or end "Aegis Wing" in Task Manager, then update.
• The mouse now works on the Game Over menu. You can point at Continue, High Scores and Main Menu and click, instead of using only the scroll wheel.
• High scores now use your player name from Settings instead of "User". Scores saved before this update keep their old name.

Install

1. Extract Aegis-Wing-XBLA-Recomp-v0.9.1.zip to a writable folder (not Program Files). You get one folder, Aegis Wing.
2. Open Aegis Wing.exe and choose your Aegis Wing package if it is not found automatically.
3. Pick any optional extras (Unlock Stage Select, fullscreen, desktop shortcut), then press PLAY.

Requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a DirectX 12 graphics card. The launcher and the game are not digitally signed, so Windows may warn the first time: choose More info → Run anyway. The ZIP scans clean on VirusTotal (0 of 67).
