Futurama: The Game: The Recomp  (v1.8.0, Windows 64-bit)
=========================================================

Good news, everyone! This is the 2003 Futurama game for the original Xbox, running natively on Windows.
No emulator, just a real Windows build of the same game: same levels, same physics, same scripts, same timing.

All of the game's code was rewritten in C++ and is compiled into this exe; nothing from the disc's executable is
translated or run. The disc is only read for the game's data (models, textures, sounds, music, movies, level
scripts, text and some tables inside its default.xbe).


YOU NEED YOUR OWN COPY
----------------------
There's no game data in here. You need your own Xbox copy of Futurama, the North American (NTSC-U) or the European
(PAL) one, either as a disc image (.iso) or the extracted files of the disc. With the PAL disc the game starts with
a language menu (English, French, German, Italian or Spanish).


PLAYING
-------
1. Unzip this folder anywhere.
2. Double-click FuturamaRecomp.exe.
3. The first time, it asks for your disc image: pick your .iso (or, for an extracted disc, the default.xbe inside
   that folder). It remembers it from then on.

Tip: put the .iso (or a folder called "futurama" with the extracted files) right next to FuturamaRecomp.exe and it
finds it by itself.

It starts full screen at your screen's resolution, 4:3 with black bars; Alt+Enter toggles windowed mode.
Widescreen is opt-in (--aspect below): the levels were built for 4:3, so you may see their edges.

From a command prompt:
    FuturamaRecomp.exe <your futurama.iso or extracted folder> [options]

    --windowed            start in a window (1280x960)
    --size 1920x1080      the window size
    --render-scale 1      the original 640x480 picture scaled up (2 = 1280x960, default auto = your screen)
    --filter nearest      crisp unfiltered pixels instead of smooth scaling
    --aspect 16:9         widescreen: more world at the sides, the HUD at the edges, movies and splashes
                          centred (also 16:10, 21:9, 32:9 super-ultrawide, any w:h, or auto = your
                          screen's shape; default 4:3, the original picture)
    --saves <folder>      where saves go (default %APPDATA%\FuturamaRecomp\saves)


CONTROLS
--------
An Xbox controller just works, and so do most other pads (DualShock, DualSense, Switch Pro and the like), plugged in
before or during play. No controller? The keyboard does it too (the physical keys, on any layout):

    W A S D                      left stick (move)
    I J K L                      right stick (camera)
    arrow keys                   d-pad
    Space / E / Left Ctrl / R    A / B / X / Y
    Q / F                        White / Black
    Z / Shift                    left / right trigger
    Enter / Esc                  Start / Back


SAVES
-----
Saves go to %APPDATA%\FuturamaRecomp\saves (paste that into the Explorer address bar to find them).
The remembered disc path is in %APPDATA%\FuturamaRecomp\settings.ini; delete that file to be asked again.


REQUIREMENTS
------------
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with a Direct3D 11 graphics card. Nothing else to install.

Have fun!
