The games

Getting started

You need: Windows 10 or 11 (64 bit) with a DirectX 12 graphics card, a controller, and a disc image you made from your own disc for each game you want to play (see Which discs you need).

1. Download AngryBirdsCollection-...-windows-x64.zip from the latest release and unzip it anywhere. It holds the launcher and both programs, and everything stays in that folder, so it's portable.
2. Run angry_birds_launcher.exe. It opens in fullscreen on Home. Windows may warn about an unknown publisher the first time: choose More info, then Run anyway.
3. Pick a game and press Play. The first time, the launcher asks for your disc image of that game: it finds disc images on your PC by itself (or choose the file), checks the disc and copies the game files next to the game. One Angry Birds Trilogy disc installs Classic, Seasons and Rio together.
4. Press Play again, and from then on it starts straight away, skipping the logos, right on the game you picked.

While you play, hold Back and Start on the controller, or hold Esc, to come back to the launcher. No game files are included: they come from your own discs. Your saves are kept in Documents\ab_trilogy (Classic, Seasons and Rio) and Documents\ab_starwars.

Which discs you need

Only the title ID is checked, so any good dump of these discs works. These are the images the ports were made and tested with:

Game	Title ID	Media ID	Version	Disc image	SHA1	Installed
Angry Birds Trilogy (Classic, Seasons, Rio)	415608E4	1A15DA04	0.0.0.2	7,838,695,424 bytes	AA9F23082753DCF7FA7A43C1E336BA0FB898F03B	about 1.3 GB
Angry Birds Star Wars	41560901	116000C4	0.0.0.2	7,838,695,424 bytes	076C847F6CCE7BB536D42937C05CB5EA2D02123A	about 1.3 GB

The launcher's install screen shows every detail for each disc, MD5 and CRC32 too. To check a disc image yourself, run this in PowerShell and compare the result with the SHA1 above:

Get-FileHash "C:\Games\Angry Birds Trilogy (USA, Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).iso" -Algorithm SHA1

The launcher

Everything is set up before a game starts, with a controller. Each game has its own page and its own settings.

	Home All four games side by side, with their box art and artwork Each game shows at a glance whether it's ready to play, its version and your achievements Settings for the launcher, and Other TRG Projects Add to Steam: adds the collection to your Steam library as a non Steam game, with its own artwork (cover, banner, header, logo and icon), and switches Steam Input off for it so your controller keeps working. Steam closes for a moment while it's added and opens again afterwards; once it's in your library the button opens Steam instead Discord: joins the official server Plays with a controller, with interface sounds
Game page Play, the only place a game starts Settings and Saves and install for that game Your achievements so far, your save backups and the release notes of its latest version
	Install from your own disc The launcher finds disc images on your PC by itself, or you choose the file A card shows exactly which disc works: title ID, media ID, version, size, SHA1, MD5 and CRC32 It checks the disc really is that game, then copies the files with a progress bar
Display Fullscreen or windowed, choose the monitor, vertical sync Resolution: 720p, 1080p, 1440p, 4K or your screen. The game is drawn at that size, and a window opens at it Frame rate, for each game on its own: 30, 60 (the default), 90, 120 or no limit. The game still runs at the right speed Keep the original shape with black bars, or stretch to fill
	Graphics Upscaler: AMD FSR 1 or NVIDIA NIS, with Native, Quality, Balanced and Performance modes, worked out from the resolution you chose FXAA and texture filtering up to 16x
Achievements All 50 achievements of each disc, with their pictures and gamerscore Notifications in game when you unlock one, with their sound on or off and its volume A test button to see and hear it
	Other TRG Projects The other TekRantGaming ports, with their artwork and a link to each King Kong Recompiled downloads and plays right from here

Saves and updates

Each game's Saves and install page backs up your saves and restores them, opens the save, backup and game folders, reinstalls from your disc or removes the game. When the launcher opens it checks GitHub for new versions of itself and of each game and installs them by themselves, restarting into a new launcher once nothing else is going on; your games, saves and settings stay as they are. Turn that off in the launcher's own Settings.

Xbox 360 vs PC

	Xbox 360	PC
Resolution	1280 x 720	720p, 1080p, 1440p or 4K
Frame rate	60 fps	30, 60, 90, 120 or no limit, for each game
Upscaling	none	AMD FSR 1 or NVIDIA NIS, four modes each

Good to know

Hotkeys

F11	the launcher fullscreen or windowed

Multiplayer in Star Wars

The Star Wars disc this port was made from has no multiplayer content, so its Multiplayer button does nothing.

Reporting a problem

Please open an issue with the game, what happened, your CPU, graphics card and the resolution and frame rate you play at, or ask on the Discord.

About the games

Angry Birds Trilogy brought Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio to consoles in 2012, rebuilt for the TV with new levels. Angry Birds Star Wars followed in 2013. Both games were made with Rovio Entertainment and published by Activision; Trilogy was developed by Housemarque and Star Wars by Exient.

Until now the only way to play these console versions was on a console. This collection runs all four games natively on Windows, starts each one on its own, and adds the options you would expect from a PC release.

Building from source (for developers)

See BUILDING.md. The game code is generated from each disc's own default.xex, so building a game needs your own disc too.
