Top Spin 4 Recomp brings the Xbox 360 tennis game to Windows and Steam Deck, with no emulator or online play
The first version arrived on November 1 and 1.0.1 followed on the 7th. It translates the 2011 game's code to x86-64 and renders with Vulkan, working from your own disc.
No emulator involved
shaneomac1337's Top Spin 4 Recomp translates the game's PowerPC code to x86-64 ahead of time with ReXGlue, and a Vulkan renderer handles the D3D9 calls. The README stresses that this isn't an emulator, and its FAQ says most of the code and docs were written with Claude Code. No license is stated.
Your copy, system and GPU
You need an .iso of your own disc, and only one version of the game works (media ID 60819732), plus Title Update 1 taken from your console. It runs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 with about 6 GB free and a Vulkan-capable GPU.
On Steam Deck it works through Proton (tested with GE-Proton11-7), with some frame drops. Intel GPUs without shaderInt64, such as 11th-gen integrated graphics, can't run it, and NVIDIA is still untested.
What changed in 1.0.1
This version tries to fix a loading-screen freeze and improves discrete GPU selection. It removes the Classic renderer, so a PC that ran 1.0.0 on it may not run the new build. There's no online multiplayer, and some players show brief shadow flicker.
