Mind over Recomp 0.2.2-alpha.3

on GitHub

Mind over Recomp is an unofficial, fan-made native PC port of the Xbox 360
game Crash: Mind over Mutant. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by
Activision or the game's other owners.

⚠️ Alpha: playable, but expect bugs, crashes and rough edges. Keep a
copy of your user\saves folder.

You need your own disc. The installer builds the game on your PC from
an .iso of your own Xbox 360 disc of Crash: Mind over Mutant (USA).
No game files are included.

Windows only for now. Linux comes later; until then, Linux players
stay on 0.1.0-alpha.

What's new in 0.2.2-alpha.3

One installer fix on top of 0.2.2-alpha.2.

• The SDK step no longer fails with "Python was not found; run without
  arguments to install from the Microsoft Store". Python was installed
  and working (the installer had just used it to copy the disc), but one of
  the SDK's libraries looked for Python again on its own. It searched for a
  program called python3, and with Python from python.org the only one it
  found was Windows' Microsoft Store shortcut, which isn't Python. The
  installer now hands the build the exact Python, Ninja, Git and shader
  compiler its tool check found, so the build can't pick a different file.
  Thanks to MrSanic for the logs in
  #16.
• If the build ever meets that Store shortcut again, the installer's
  error says what to do, and the
  Troubleshooting
  page has an entry for it.

Install or update

• New install: unpack the .zip anywhere and start
  Mind over Recomp.exe (if Windows warns about an unknown program:
  More info → Run anyway). Pick your .iso and a folder (~15 GB
  free, an NTFS drive, not OneDrive), then Next: install. The first
  build takes a while. Then start Crash Mind over Mutant from the Start
  menu.
• Already on 0.2.0, 0.2.1 or 0.2.2: open Mind over Recomp from the Start
  menu. It offers the update.
• Your install stopped at "Couldn't find cmake", "file INSTALL cannot
  find" or "Python was not found"? Start this version's
  Mind over Recomp.exe and install into the same folder: it carries on
  where it stopped.
• Coming from 0.1.0: don't use the old launcher's Update button.
  Follow Updating from 0.1.0-alpha
  on the 0.2.0 page.

Download: MindOverRecomp-0.2.2-alpha.3-windows-x86_64.zip (Windows 10 / 11,
64-bit). release.toml is only for the update check; you don't need it.
