MojoRecomp

Native Windows ports of the Crash Bandicoot Titans games.

MojoRecomp is an unofficial native PC port project. It recompiles the Xbox 360 game code and provides the Windows runtime for graphics, audio, input, files, saves, and video playback. It is not an Xbox 360 emulator.

XenonRecomp translates the PowerPC game code, and XenosRecomp translates the Xbox 360 shaders. MojoRecomp provides its own Windows runtime. ReXGlue served as a technical reference during early runtime development. MojoRecomp's narrow FFmpeg build recipe and a small set of codec/parser list files are adapted from ReXGlue SDK v0.10.0 and retain its BSD-3-Clause notice.

Crash of the Titans boots, plays, saves, and supports its original audio and videos. The runtime remains an alpha release while it is tested on more hardware and game regions. Gameplay runs at the original 30 FPS.

Mind over Mutant has a launcher entry but no playable runtime or release date yet.

• Portable launcher with guided ISO setup
• Vulkan renderer and XAudio output
• Original FMV playback
• Controller and keyboard input
• Windowed and borderless fullscreen modes
• 1x, 2x, and 3x internal resolution scaling
• 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 21:9, and 32:9 aspect ratios
• FXAA and anisotropic texture filtering
• Original game languages and an optional Brazilian Portuguese Localization Pack
• Versioned runtime and Localization Pack management with integrity checks, repair, and rollback
• Separate game files, saves, settings, cache, logs, and support reports

• 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11
• A Vulkan 1.3 capable GPU with a current driver
• Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime
• An Xbox 360 Crash of the Titans ISO
• A controller is recommended, but keyboard input is available

No additional platform ports are currently announced.

For normal use, download only the MojoRecomp Launcher portable ZIP. Game runtimes are managed through the launcher's Versions page and are installed only when the user chooses a version to download.

1. Download and extract MojoRecomp-Launcher-<version>-windows-x64-portable.zip.
2. Open mojorecomp-launcher.exe.
3. Choose where to create your MojoRecomp-Games library.
4. Select Crash of the Titans and open Versions.
5. Download and activate a compatible game runtime. The latest compatible release is highlighted, and older compatible runtime releases remain available when they are present in the update catalog.
6. Return to Overview and click SET UP.
7. Choose your supported Xbox 360 .iso file.
8. Wait while the launcher extracts the game and validates the installation.
9. Click PLAY.

SET UP and PLAY never download a runtime implicitly. If the required runtime.cot component is missing or unusable, the launcher directs you to Versions so you can choose and install a runtime explicitly. The ISO itself is never modified. After setup, the game and its active runtime can be used without repeating the ISO import.

The game library can be moved later from Launcher Settings. Saves remain in the Windows Saved Games folder and are not moved with the library.

The launcher checks the configured update catalog when it starts. Components that need attention are marked on the affected game and on the Versions tab, where you can also run a manual check.

MojoRecomp updates are split into independent components:

Runtime and Localization Pack updates are installed into versioned component directories. Interrupted installations are recovered safely. Launcher and runtime releases can be selected explicitly from Versions; runtime rollback can also restore the previous active version after an update.

An internet connection is needed to check for and download new or missing managed components. A previously installed game with a valid active runtime can continue to launch when the update service is unavailable.

Available original languages depend on the ISO region. The launcher identifies localization packs that still need to be installed.

Aspect ratios other than 16:9 are experimental. Unsupported texture-filtering levels are disabled automatically.

Controllers are detected while the game is running.

The game library defaults to:

%USERPROFILE%\Games\MojoRecomp-Games\
|-- cot\
|-- mom\
`-- .mojorecomp\
    |-- components\
    |   |-- runtime.cot\
    |   `-- runtime.mom\
    |-- downloads\
    `-- staging\

Versioned game runtimes and other game components follow the selected library. Downloads and component/game staging also stay inside .mojorecomp so changing the library keeps the managed game installation self-contained.

Saves are stored separately:

%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\MojoRecomp\cot\

Launcher settings, cache, logs, crash reports, diagnostics, launcher-update state, support packages, license notices, and optional LGPL overrides are stored under:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\MojoRecomp\

The launcher verifies a library move before switching to the new location. Versioned game components move with that library. Saves remain separate. Existing development-era games and userdata folders are migration inputs only.

The Support & FAQ page can open the save and log folders and create a sanitized support package. Support packages exclude saves, ISOs, and extracted game assets.

Some OBS and Streamlabs Vulkan capture hooks can corrupt the runtime during startup. MojoRecomp blocks the affected hook inside the game process. Use Window Capture or Display Capture when needed.

The normal user download is the portable Windows x64 launcher. Game runtimes and Localization Packs are distributed as separately versioned components and are downloaded, verified, installed, repaired, and rolled back through the launcher. Runtime selection and installation are explicit user actions on the Versions page; users do not need to download runtime ZIPs manually outside the launcher.

Release packages are written to the ignored .release\ directory with the portable launcher, runtime component, update catalog, checksums, and one versioned LGPL corresponding-source archive covering the replaceable FFmpeg and libmspack libraries.

The Windows build requires Git, Python, Node.js/npm, Rust/Cargo, CMake, Ninja, Visual Studio C++ tools, LLVM/Clang 22.1.8, and the dependencies listed in the third-party notices.

Main directories:

config/       Recompiler configuration and function boundaries
launcher/     Tauri, Rust, Svelte, and TypeScript launcher
patches/      Maintained dependency patches
runtime/      Native runtime, renderer, audio, input, and tests
tools/        Analysis and recompilation tools
thirdparty/   Pinned source submodules plus local build/toolchain state

Clone with submodules, or initialize them in an existing clone:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Place a development copy of default.xex in the ignored game\ directory. These scripts cover the development workflow:

Launcher checks:

cd launcher
npm.cmd ci
npm.cmd run check
cargo test --manifest-path src-tauri\Cargo.toml
npm.cmd run build:production

Game files, generated PPC sources, toolchains, builds, saves, logs, and test dumps are excluded from Git.
