PLEASE FOR NOW MAKE SURE TO USE THE LATEST TITLE UPDATE FOR EACH GAME Fully Playable with a FEW hiccups. If you come across any PLEASE upload a log and I'll try to get to it! Hello all, I'm Shagg and I'm building a launcher for my own native Windows versions of three(eventually four) Xbox 360 games, built by static recompilation, with a launcher called COGBox that sets up your own copy of each game and starts it. These games were one of my favorite franchises so this project is near and dear to my heart. Gears of War 1 is currently not a priority because there's about 5 versions (it feels like) that are available natively to PC. Download the latest release · You need your own copy of each game. No game files are included or ever will be. The games' original Xbox 360 code is translated ahead…
