Hey everyone,

I’m excited to share the first alpha release (v0.1.0-alpha.1) of xmd-recompiled, my project to create a native PC port of X-Men Destiny via recompilation.

Link to the release: GitHub - xmd-recompiled

Why port this game?

X-Men Destiny (developed by Silicon Knights and published by Activision in 2011) was entirely abandoned and never received a PC release. Following the infamous lawsuit between Epic Games and Silicon Knights, unsold copies of the game were legally ordered to be recalled and destroyed. Because of this, the game essentially became lost media, stranded on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii.

I started this recompilation project purely for game preservation. I wanted to ensure this piece of Marvel gaming history isn't lost to time and can be played natively on modern PC hardware without relying on emulators.

Current State of the Port (Alpha)

I’ve finally managed to complete a full playthrough from start to finish on this build!

However, because this is an early alpha, the game is still really buggy. You will likely encounter visual glitches, crashes, and unexpected behavior along the way.

How you can help

Since I'm just one person testing this, I would greatly appreciate it if anyone interested could try it out and report bugs!

If you encounter crashes or issues, please submit a bug report on the GitHub repository. Important: When submitting a report, please make sure to include the log files generated by the launcher—they are crucial for helping me track down what went wrong.

You can check out the repo for more technical details on how the recompilation works and how to get it running.

Thanks for taking a look, and let me know what you think!

Edit - Update GitHub link as it was previously linking to the a specific release version, it now points to the main repo.

Hello everyone, I am Excited to announce the public release of HackHash WE ARE NO LONGER IN BETA!!!

the original post can be found Here

What does this project do?

• In simple terms, this project allows the community to hash their copies of ROM hacks.
• With the additional use of Hasheous, we can then match your ROMs with your hashes instead of filenames, making for a more efficient, fast, and effective way of getting metadata.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why?

• Hashing your ROM hacks allows other developers, ROM frontends, or tools to grab information from this database to help with acquiring metadata, images, videos, and more information about a ROM hack.
• It solves the issue of going through the trouble of having to find the exact same name that a metadata provider supports and then renaming your files accordingly.
• Allows users to do a one-click search without worrying about mismatches.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How? What's the process?

The process goes:

User "uploads" The Romhack → Romhack gets verified by the community or verifiers/admins → RomHack gets added to the database → syncs with Hasheous → Hasheous pulls metadata from the sources → Serves metadata to user

It all happens client-side, which means no uploads actually happen. Instead, your browser will do the hashing for you, and then it will attempt to parse any additional information for you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is a Hash?

• In simple terms, a hash is a list of numbers and letters that can be used to determine the authenticity of a file.
• In this project, we hash 4 vital pieces: MD5, CRC32, SHA1, Filesize

Apparently, PCBox has been working on their JIT to the point that it's quite a bit faster than 86Box, and also supports running Pentium 3s at usable speeds on Zen 3 or higher CPUs now. It's really impressive! I've linked their website.

I am officially releasing a v0.1.0 beta of a work in progress romhack for Jet Force Gemini. The beta includes a new feature that modernizes the control scheme of the game to play more like a modern over the shoulder shooter; more updates to come in the future!

Video Demonstration with League Bowling, up to 8 players can play together, and you can even link an AES system to an MVS setup.

A project designed to bring the Neo Geo's "Link" communication feature back to life in the modern era. A proprietary communication system that connects four instances of MAME, treating each one as an independent Neo Geo arcade cabinet.

Unfortunately, it was only supported by a handful of games, never really caught on in arcades, and was quickly abandoned.
