README
Adventure Pants Recomp
The Fancy Pants Adventures (Xbox Live Arcade) running natively on Windows, recompiled from the Xbox 360 game with ReXGlue. Up to 4K at a locked 60 FPS, set up from your own copy in a couple of clicks.
Get it on RecompLauncher
The easiest way to play is RecompLauncher. It installs the recomp, finds your copy, sets it up and keeps it updated, with every setting on the game's page.
What's in it
- The Xbox Live Arcade game recompiled to native PC code, not emulated
- Up to 4K, holding 60 FPS
- A setup screen on first launch: drop in your package or its folder and it's ready
- Settings for resolution (720p, 1440p, 4K), anti-aliasing, 16x texture filtering, V-Sync and variable refresh
- Escape switches between fullscreen and a window
- An FPS counter, off by default
- Works with Xbox, PlayStation and most other controllers
- Full RecompLauncher support: Easy Setup, settings in the launcher and save backups
What you need
- Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a DirectX 12 graphics card
- Your own copy of The Fancy Pants Adventures for Xbox Live Arcade. No game files are included.
Which files work
| File name | Size | |
|---|---|---|
| Xbox Live Arcade package | 6BD7BB6917CE7BC0B816C280ACFD9BD78471228258 | 409,088,000 bytes (390 MB) |
The package has no file extension. That's normal, so leave the name as it is. In a dump it sits in 58410A9F/000D0000/. You can pick the package itself or the folder that holds 58410A9F.
