Fork from https://github.com/hedge-dev/UnleashedRecomp
This repository is a recompilation project of the Xbox 360 version of Sonic Unleashed. By translating original PowerPC binaries into native machine code (ARM64 / x86-64). Fork includes Android support with Vulkan 1.3, Oboe High-Performance Audio, and NDK 29 optimizations.
Important
Game assets are NOT included. You must provide your own legally acquired Xbox 360 copy of Sonic Unleashed and its updates.
This fork has been optimized and modernized, still WIP so expect build to break.
- Advanced Architecture: Native optimization for ARMv8.2-A (including Crypto, CRC, DotProd, and FP16 instructions) on Android.
- Ultra-Aggressive Compilation: Utilizes Full LTO (Link Time Optimization), O3 optimization levels, and Fast Math.
- Parallel Execution Engine: Powered by Intel TBB and C++20 parallel algorithms to accelerate asset loading, hashing, and GPU pipeline pre-compilation.
- Background Pipeline Pre-compilation: Background compilation of graphics pipelines (MSAA, Blur, etc.) .
- Zero-Allocation I/O: High-performance STFS and SVOD parsing with zero-allocation string handling and memory-mapped I/O.
- Vulkan 1.3: Utilizes the latest Vulkan standards for rendering efficiency and modern GPU features.
- Oboe High-Performance Audio: Integrated Google's Oboe library for the lowest possible audio latency using AAudio.
- Sustained Performance Mode: Native Android API integration to lock CPU/GPU clocks and prevent thermal throttling.
- Enhanced HID & Input: Refined controller handling with dynamic button prompt switching (Xbox/PS) and optimized multi-touch overlay.
- Cross-Platform Mastery: Full native support for Windows and Linux (including Steam Deck).
- Visual Fidelity: Native support for Resolution Scaling, Ultrawide Aspect Ratio patches, and high-fidelity shadow resolution (up to 8K).
- Modding Support: Seamless integration with the Hedge Mod Manager ecosystem.
