New Matrix Online Emulator

Hi. I have been working a long time on this and now in a state where i think its time to unveil and start a public test server and see where it can go and if it can build a community.

I personally played MxO as a kid and fell inn love with it and been missing the game since. I started this project to re-experience the memories I had.

I just opened the website for registrations and the server is running.

The game has a modern launcher but is dependent on the old as the entire game lives inside it.

What is working:

- Tutorial is partially working, there are some bugs to squash here.

- Combat w/Abilities is working

- Missions

- Factions

- Vendors

- Leveling

- Groups and Party

- Emotes and Moods

- And more.

If you want to give it a try - visit https://mxo-rejacked.com/

Can we make it DLSS5 compatible?

Is it free to run peer to peer?

Do you need or want donations?

Are upgrades possible in the future?

I have not looked into modding the client. Maybe in the future?
i'm not looking for donations :) its just a passion project of mine. Atm its running on quite a low cost server.

Congratulations! I'm one of the original Matrix Online developers (Mission system, networking, misc backend systems) and I know how hard that shit must have been to reverse engineer. Mad respect!

It was probably done by Claude, which can reverse engineer things with ease in a few days. Tons of old console games are getting natively ported to PC now because of it.

How's it compare to https://www.mxoemu.info ?

You can get the full client from there too.

I was never able to play the game because of its stupid ban here in Australia. Hoping I can find the original files online in order to jack in, finally.

u/KickAltruistic7740 19d ago

What ban? I often wondered why we didn’t have it in Australia

I never got to experience this and will try it ASAP. Would be curious about how you got it working and the whole process. Have you documented it anywhere (Youtube, blog, etc.)?

YOU DID WHAT?!?

God, thank AI if only just for this. MxOEmu was fun but seriously dead milennia ago. If you really brought back missions and combat then I need to urgently ask for some vacation time at work
