About this project
Xbox XBE Recomp translates the game’s x86 code into a Windows executable, with replacement graphics, audio and system libraries. The maintainer reports menus, movies, sound, saving and races; this is a project report, not an AllRecomps playtest.

Documented options include widened 3D views for widescreen/ultrawide while keeping the HUD centred, render scale, MSAA/FXAA, FOV, remappable keyboard/gamepads and DirectInput wheels with force feedback.

Known limitations
System link and split screen have not been tested. Some recorded push buffers are not replayed, no draw-distance setting exists, and the release notes say sound reverb/filters are not modelled. The reported 60 FPS is not a hardware-independent promise.

Getting started
Download PGR1Launcher.exe from the project release, choose your own PAL ISO or extracted disc folder, accept the build-tool licence terms and choose Build, then Play. The author estimates 30–90 minutes for the first local build; saves live in PGR1/play/hdd. No game files are supplied.
