How to play the leaked ‘GoldenEye’ remake

In the late 2000s, Rare of video game development studio attempted to shoot its beloved Nintendo 64 first person shooter, GoldenEye 007, for the Xbox 360. The new vision includes the classic single-player campaign and fans-favorite multiplayer modes, along with updated graphics, modern controls and online gameplay. It even includes a switch that allows players to switch between the new graphics and the classic N64 footage. The remake was almost complete, but it was set up in 2008 due to complicated copyright issues.

While canceled Golden Eye remake has been an open secret in the video game industry for years, fans finally saw proof of the project when the footage surfaced online last month. And now, someone a build-up of the game leaked online.

We can confirm that the game can be played entirely on a computer using Xbox 360 emulation software. The leaked version does not contain online matches, but there are local multiplayer options.

For those wondering: Yes, you could theoretically play the 2008 Golden Eye remake also on your computer. Please note that it is technically illegal to download or distribute the ROM file, so we will not show you how to find it. Emulation is a legitimate gray area at best, and the Golden Eye Xbox 360 ROM is even darker – it’s technically the property Rare has not yet released and contains copyrighted material by numerous companies, and the parable of several actors.

However, it is perfectly legal to install the necessary software hypothetical play the leaked ROM on a computer. In this imaginary scenario, you have to Xenia Xbox 360 Emulator. Follow the setup and installation steps in the video below:

Note that Xenia is a research tool and is not intended for playing illegal software, but you can use it to play Xbox 360 games that you personally own and have dumped on your computer. You can play games with a controller or keyboard and mouse. I recommend an Xbox controller that should be recognized automatically, but you can also use a PlayStation 4 controller if you install it DS4Windows.
