What was done
A native Windows port of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Xbox) created via static recompilation. The project is in beta, supporting 60 fps gameplay and 16:9 aspect ratios, with ongoing development for remaining features.
The HP3-Recompiled project provides a native Windows port of the 2004 Xbox game Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The port is achieved through static recompilation, where the original x86 code is translated to C and compiled for Windows, replacing the Xbox kernel, Direct3D 8, DirectSound, and input handling with native implementations. The project is currently in a 0.5.0 beta state. It supports gameplay through the Hogwarts Express into the first level at 60 fps in 16:9, including save and load functionality. An F10 menu provides access to graphics, audio, controls, and debug options, mirroring the interface of previous Barthes Recompiled ports. Development was aided by Claude Code, with specific implementation tasks performed by Codex based on briefs from Claude Opus 5.5. Known limitations include non-functional cutscene fast-forward and logo skip features. The European (PAL) build has passed initial smoke tests. Further details are available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/barthes-recompiled/hp3-recompiled/HEAD/README.md.
