0.7.2 beta

This update fixes the game asking you to extract the release again after you delete the compiler files.

If you ticked Delete the compiler files after the first start, later starts could fail with "The compiler folder is missing files". It was reported on SteamOS through Proton. The game now keeps its record of the finished build next to TW2004.dll, so deleting the compiler folder is safe.

Updating from 0.7.1: extract this release over your existing folder. The game rebuilds its code once on the next start, then starts normally from then on. You can tick the delete box again afterwards.

Thanks to MikerMoo for reporting this in #3.

0.7.1 beta

This update adds a custom Windows shortcut icon for Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004. The same artwork now appears at the top of the README.

Thanks to POOTERMAN for creating and sharing the artwork!

0.7.0 beta

Initial beta release of the unofficial native PC port of the original Xbox version of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004, built with Xbox XBE Recomp.

Installation

1. Download and extract TW2004.zip, keeping its folders together.
2. Put your own game files in assets/: an Xbox disc image (.iso), or extracted files containing default.xbe and the game's folders.
3. Run TW2004.exe. The first start builds the game's code locally and needs about 1 GB of free space. Once ready, press A or Enter to start.
4. Open the Quick Menu with F1 or Back + Start on a controller.

Only the US (NTSC) Xbox release is supported. You must supply your own legally acquired copy. No game files or recompiled game code are included.

Features

• Widescreen and split-screen support, with adjusted HUD and menu placement.
• Resolution scaling, SMAA or 2x MSAA, up to 16x texture filtering, bloom and depth of field.
• Controller support with rumble and matching button prompts, plus keyboard and mouse controls.
• Xbox audio DSP effects and the game's sound envelopes.
• Persistent shader caching and background pipeline warm-up.

This build includes the clearer putting grid at higher resolutions, aligned intro lesson and record pop-ups, and the fix for white camera shots when using MSAA with effects.

Compatibility and known issues

• Windows 10 or later, 64-bit, with a Direct3D 12-capable GPU.
• Tested by the owner on a BC250 running SteamOS through Proton. Steam Deck and other Linux hardware have not been tested.
• Mouse swings have a short delay when starting a drag.
• Holding left click moves the selection in the game's menus.
• The menu song contains occasional faint clicks in the original audio data.
