Giants Recompiled, 0.2.0-beta.3 (test version).

  • When your Skylander runs out of health the portal menu opens to swap it, and the figure gets a red cross until it has rested (a new level). It stays pickable.
  • The native 3D picture is back (F4 > Graphics, #30): the title and the outdoor scenes don't go black anymore. Checked on the title; tell me if a level still looks wrong.
  • Portal overview (Back + Y / F5) holds the game still while it's open, closes when the portal menu opens, and its cards sit right above the portal.
  • F4 opens on the Game page, which now has the volume and a frame rate display. F4 > Keyboard names each key the way your keyboard prints it and has a row to put every key back. The descriptions are short lines now.
  • Hints in your pad's own buttons: PlayStation symbols and L1 / R1, or Nintendo's letters, when you play with such a pad.
  • Hats only show in games that know them.

The easy way: install Core of Light, the launcher. It sets this game up from your disc and keeps it up to date by itself.

On its own: run GiantsRecompSetup-0.2.0-beta.3.exe and point it at your own Xbox 360 disc (an ISO file or an extracted folder). It's not signed, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC": "More info" > "Run anyway". The README says which disc version it needs.

The game's data (graphics, sound, levels, movies) doesn't come with it: the setup takes it from your own disc.

Problems: F4 > Game > "Report a problem" in the game, then a new issue.
