- Steel Battalion owners using modern Windows PCs
- Worth noticing
- The original controller works over USB, but gamepad and keyboard/mouse are also supported.
Field notes
The project uses high-level emulation: it runs the original game executable and implements Xbox system interfaces, with targeted runtime adjustments, rather than simulating the full console. Its current target is the European release; save data, settings, and caches are kept separately from the read-only disc image. The project lists menus, photo mode, polish, and a complete campaign playthrough as current work, with VR alpha and broader graphics options later.
