007Nightfire-XBERecomp

007: Nightfire - XBE Recomp

An unofficial native PC port of the original Xbox version of 007: Nightfire, with extended graphics options, keyboard and mouse support, and other enhancements.

This port was created using the Xbox XBE Recomp tool.

Installation

The latest version of 007Nightfire-XBERecomp can be found in the Releases page.

• Place your game files in the assets folder. This can be an ISO, or the extracted data files. The USA and Europe releases are supported.
• Run nightfire.exe. The first start compiles the game's code for your PC, this only happens once.
• Recomp Settings can be adjusted in the in-game options menu while the game is running, or through the Settings overlay, which is opened with F10 by default.

Features

Display

• Monitor - Picks the monitor the game shows on, for Fullscreen and Borderless (and where Windowed opens). Lists every connected monitor by its Windows number and desktop resolution.
• Display Mode - Switch between Fullscreen, Borderless and Windowed.
• Resolution - Lists every mode your monitor reports and defaults to your desktop resolution, replacing the original 640x480 resolution.
• Render Resolution - Renders the game at 20% to 200% of the output resolution, allowing supersampling or downscaling independent of the window size.
• Field of View - Sets the horizontal field of view during gameplay from 45 to 140 degrees, with 75 being the game's default. Cutscenes, other cameras and the zoom keep the original.
• Viewmodel Field of View - Adjusts the first-person weapon and arms field of view, from 45 to 140 degrees, with 75 being the game's default.
• Max Frame Rate - Caps the frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate or a custom value, or removes the cap entirely, replacing the Xbox's 30 FPS limiter.
• V-Sync - Reduces screen tearing.
• HDR Output - Enables HDR10 output on displays with Windows HDR turned on, detected automatically. Highlights extend up to the display's peak brightness.
• FPS Counter - Displays the frame rate on screen.
• FMV Scale - Choose between Fill, which makes the FMVs fill widescreen displays, and 4:3, which shows them in a 4:3 frame as on the original Xbox.
• Colour Blind Mode - Adjusts the colours for Protanopia, Deuteranopia or Tritanopia.

Graphics

• Ambient Occlusion - Adds screen space ambient occlusion, creating soft contact shadows where surfaces meet. Choose between SSAO and GTAO.
• Multisample Antialiasing (MSAA) - Enables 2x, 4x or 8x MSAA to smooth jagged edges while preserving a sharp image. MSAA does not smooth alpha-tested edges such as fences and foliage.
• Subpixel Morphological Antialiasing (SMAA) - Enables SMAA to smooth jagged edges across the whole frame with a softer image. SMAA also smooths alpha-tested edges such as fences and foliage, and can be combined with MSAA.
• Anisotropic Filtering - Forces the selected anisotropic filtering level on all textures.

Textures

• Texture Replacement - Replaces the game's textures with the .dds or .png images in the textures\replacement folder beside the exe.
• Texture Dumping - Saves every texture the game uses into the textures\dumps folder beside the exe as you play.
• Dump Format - Choose between PNG or DDS, which keeps the original compression and mipmaps.

Input

• Mouse and Keyboard - Full keyboard and mouse support with raw input.
• Controller - Controller with SDL3 support.
• Gyro Aiming - Adds gyro aiming for controllers with motion sensors, such as the DualSense, DualShock 4 and Switch Pro Controller. Works together with the right stick.

General

• Skip Intro - Skips the intro logos and the intro movie.
• Pause On Focus Loss - Pauses the game and its sound while the window is in the background or minimized.
• Audio Output - Choose between Automatic, which follows your speakers, Mono, 2.0 Stereo and 5.1 Surround. 5.1 Surround places sounds behind you on the rear speakers.

Miscellaneous

• Boot Splash - Place a splash.png (or .bmp) beside the exe to display a splash screen at launch.
• Custom Menu Cursor - Place a cursor.png (or cursor.dds) beside the exe to replace the Windows arrow in the game's menus.
