What it is

Mega Man X4 Recompiled runs PlayStation’s Mega Man X4 on Windows and Linux. Version 1.0.11 is a stable public beta that adds two-player co-op: X and Zero play at once in the same campaign, on one computer or over netplay from the launcher. Player 1 keeps the story and permanent progress and Player 2 joins as the other hero.

It offers a unified or split camera, stacked or side-by-side HUD, and an optional mod with fan-subtitled Japanese videos. The project includes OpenBIOS, so a separate BIOS is not required. GigaROM hosts neither the port nor the game; the download comes from the official page.

What you need

Your original copy: Your own image of the original, unmodified Mega Man X4 disc (USA, SLUS-00561). The project does not include game data.
  • Windows or Linux.
  • Your own image of the original, unmodified Mega Man X4 USA disc (SLUS-00561): pick the .cue of a .cue + .bin set.
  • For co-op, two controllers or two keyboard bindings (or netplay with the same release on both sides).

How to install and run it

  1. Download the latest release from the official page (“Go to official project” button).
  2. Open the launcher and choose your USA disc image.
  3. For local co-op, enable Mods → X + Zero Co-op, assign Player 1 and 2 in Controls and press Play; for netplay, press Netplay and host or join a room.

Current limitations

  • Only the verified original USA disc is accepted, even with every mod disabled.
  • It is a public beta: see the project’s known issues.
  • In netplay, both players need the same release.

Port or emulator?

If your computer does not meet the requirements, you do not have the exact version the port asks for, or you prefer the classic route, you can play the original with a console emulator: see emulators and its install and setup guide.
