About this recompilation

NoRain211's distinct static recompilation of the USA Xbox Dead or Alive 3, with a hand-written Xbox runtime, Direct3D 11/XAudio2 replacements and reconstructed stage-collision logic. Windows alpha setup generates and compiles the game from the player's own disc. Public source documents partial gameplay testing; macOS/Linux implementation remains an unmerged proposal.

Sources

v0.2 is explicitly an experimental alpha despite the GitHub prerelease flag being false. Source/setup ZIP has no prebuilt runner. Not all modes were played to the end and Story endings are untested. v0.2 documents missing linear fog/I3DL2 reverb, stretched widescreen HUD and unverified lighting parity. Newer main fixes are not assumed present in v0.2; Linux/macOS PR #7 remains unmerged.
