Unleashed Recompiled is an unofficial PC port of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed created through the process of static recompilation. The port offers Windows and Linux support with numerous built-in enhancements such as high resolutions, ultrawide support, high frame rates, improved performance and modding.
This project does not include any game assets. You must provide the files from your own legally acquired copy of the game to install or build Unleashed Recompiled.
Check out the latest release here.
XenonRecomp and XenosRecomp are the main recompilers used for converting the game's original PowerPC code and Xenos shaders into compatible C++ and HLSL code respectively. The development of these recompilers was directly inspired by N64: Recompiled, which was used to create Zelda 64: Recompiled.
How to Install
You must have access to the following:
Xbox 360 (modifications not necessary)
Xbox 360 Storage Device (either an Xbox 360 hard drive or an external USB storage device)
Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable or a compatible SATA to USB adapter (only required for dumping from an Xbox 360 hard drive)
Sonic Unleashed for Xbox 360 (US or EU, JP is not supported)
Retail Disc or Digital Copy (can be purchased and downloaded from the Xbox Store).
Title Update required.
All available DLC (Adventure Packs) are optional, but highly recommended. The DLC includes high quality lighting for the entire game.
Tip
If you do not have the Xbox 360 Hard Drive Transfer Cable, please ensure that you purchase the correct revision of it for your console.
The latest revision works with both original Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 S|E hard drives, but the first revision only works with original Xbox 360 hard drives.
To know which is which, the first revision cable is gray, whereas the latest revision (which supports any Xbox 360 hard drive) is black.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure to follow the guide on how to acquire the game files from your Xbox 360.

Download the latest release of Unleashed Recompiled and extract it to where you'd like the game to be installed.
Run the executable and you will be guided through the installation process. You will be asked to provide the files you acquired in the previous step. When presented with options for how to do this:
Add Files will only allow you to provide containers or images dumped from an Xbox 360. These often come in the form of very large files without associated extensions. Don't worry if you're not aware of what's inside of them, the installer will automatically detect what type of content is inside the container.
Add Folder will only allow you to provide a directory with the game's raw files corresponding to the piece of content that is requested. It will NOT scan your folder for compatible content!
Note
Please note that it is not possible to complete the installation if your files have been modified. In case of other problems such as black screens or crashes, do not try to reinstall the game as it is not possible for the process to result in an invalid installation.
Easy to Use Installer
A built-in installation wizard will guide you through the process of installing the game with many integrity checks to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible. The installer can also be accessed from the title screen, if you wish to add the DLC at a later time.
