Heavy Weapon

SDL3/OpenGL desktop port of PopCap's tank shooter, derived from a fan PS Vita reimplementation, that loads levels, art, music and sound from the player's own install. It covers the campaign and survival mode, plays the Flash cutscenes through a recompiled Flash runtime, and adds gamepad support and Lua mods.

007: Agent Under Fire - XBE Recomp

007: Agent Under Fire

PC port of the original Xbox version built with TGP482's XBE recompiler, supporting both the USA and PAL discs. A small launcher fetches the runtime and a bundled Clang, then compiles the game's code from the player's own disc on first setup; it adds a PC settings page, keyboard and mouse play and post-processing options.
