Swap Force Recompiled, 0.3.0-beta.2 (test version).

  • Smoother on slower CPUs: the thread that turns the game's drawing commands into PC graphics looked up every register the game writes in a long table, only for a debug message nobody sees. Without that, Spyro's Adventure's Chapter 1 went from 51-55 to a steady 60 FPS here (1080p, frame rate limit off). All six games run the same code; handhelds and older CPUs should gain the most.
  • Better crash reports: when the port stops on one of its own fatal errors (like "Call to invalid or unregistered function"), the log now also says where in the game it happened, so a "Report a problem" file shows the spot.

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 SwapForceRecompSetup-0.3.0-beta.2.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.
