PLAYGROUND OF DESTRUCTION, NOW ON PC: MERCENARIES GOES NATIVE WITH A MOD LOADER
Mercenaries Recompiled: the Xbox classic goes native on Windows
A native Windows port of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction, built with sp00nznet's xboxrecomp, which translates the original Xbox executable into C. v1.1 (Oct 3) added a mod loader with load order, FPS caps up to uncapped, V-Sync and an FOV slider; v1.1.1 (Oct 6) brings a DLL plugin manager and 60fps fixes. The README says it was built with AI assistance. Linux works through Wine/Proton only.
You need: Windows 10/11 x64 and your own USA retail Xbox copy of Mercenaries (a PS2 disc won't work). No game files included.
How to play
- Get the player package from the Releases page.
- Point it at the files from your own Xbox disc on first launch.
- Set resolution, FPS cap and FOV in the options.
