Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 - Public Beta 1

1. Extract the entire ZIP.
2. Put your extracted original Xbox game files in assets (default.xbe directly inside).
3. Open TW2004.exe. Keep all three supplied Microsoft runtime DLLs alongside it.

Start at the supplied 1280x720 output and 100% render scale. Change settings only while the game is closed.
F11 or Alt+Enter: windowed/borderless. Alt+F4: exit. F12: PNG screenshot.
Your saves are in hdd; back up this folder before updating.

Early beta: intermittent graphics-device exits remain unresolved; tutorial timing and performance can vary. See README.md for details.

TITLE-ID STARTUP UPDATE - October 24, 2026
The runtime checks XBE title ID 4541003A, not its whole-file SHA-1.
Xbox Live certificate metadata and softmod flags do not trigger the old version
warning when the title ID matches. Wrong titles or malformed headers are rejected.
SHA-1 remains in logs for troubleshooting only. Title-ID acceptance does not
prove compatibility with every regional or modified revision; build mappings
remain specific to the supported game executable.

Cursor hiding in active fullscreen/borderless mode and F12 PNG screenshots are
included. PNGs are saved in screenshots beside the EXE. F3 remains diagnostic.
Existing users: close the game and replace only TW2004.exe. Back up your previous
EXE and saves; retain settings, DLLs, assets and hdd. No game files are included.
Release build and isolated parser tests passed. Game was not launched for this
update. Existing beta limitations still apply.
