SONIC SURFS NATIVE: FREE RIDERS RECOMPILED BRINGS KINECT AND WEBCAM RACING TO PC
Free Riders Recompiled v0.9.0: Sonic Free Riders on PC and Android, with Kinect and webcam controls
YuutaTsubasa's Free Riders Recompiled is an unofficial static recompilation of the Xbox 360 Sonic Free Riders for Windows, Linux and Android. The PowerPC code goes through XenonRecomp and the shaders through XenosRecomp, on a native runtime that stands in for the console's kernel, graphics, audio, input and Kinect. Play with a controller or keyboard, or use Kinect v1, experimental Kinect v2 or a plain webcam for motion controls on Windows, and drop your own VRM avatar in as a rider. v0.9.0 (Oct 16) keeps races in real time on slow devices. Still a work in progress: races play, but much is untested.
You need: Your own Sonic Free Riders disc (USA or Europe), as a disc image. No game assets included. Kinect or a webcam optional (Windows).
