NHL 2K8 GOES NATIVE ON PC: THE XBOX 360 HOCKEY GAME RUNS WITHOUT AN EMULATOR

NHL 2K8 (Xbox 360) gets a native Windows port via ReXGlue static recompilation, v1.1.0 out

anishchandra24's NHL 2K8 Recompiled is an unofficial native Windows port of 2K Sports' 2007 Xbox 360 hockey game, made by static recompilation with the ReXGlue SDK. The repo holds only the fix list, a small launcher and a patch that restores the in-game music (reported silent in Xenia); the game is translated on your own PC from your own copy. Per the README, menus, quick games, franchise mode, tournaments, saving, keyboard and multiple controllers for local multiplayer, achievements, the 2K Beats soundtrack and custom playlists all work. v1.0.0 landed Oct 28 and v1.1.0 followed Oct 29. The same creator also released Madden NFL 08 Recompiled this week.
