What it is

This project lets you play Dead Rising 2: Case West (Capcom / Blue Castle Games, 2010, the Xbox 360 exclusive epilogue to Dead Rising 2, where Chuck Greene and Frank West break into the Phenotrans facility) natively on Windows, Linux, Steam Deck and Apple Silicon Macs. It is not an emulator: the Xbox 360 code was translated ahead of time with XenonRecomp and XenosRecomp into a native program with a Vulkan renderer, real XMA audio and native keyboard and mouse support.

According to the README, the single-player game is playable start to finish, two-player online co-op works through the XenonLive launcher, and 1.1.2 (October 2026) is the author's final build. It is not an emulator and it does not include any game assets: you must provide the data from your own copy.
