The work builds on earlier decompilation efforts by developers bnunu and punpckhdq, and likely involved AI assistance, though this isn't disclosed on the project's GitHub page. Players need to supply their own Xbox disc image (.iso/.xiso) to run the game, since the port doesn't include original assets. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I play the fan-made Halo Combat Evolved port on PC or Android You need your own Xbox disc image of Halo: Combat Evolved in .iso or .xiso format, compatible with all original versions of the game, since the community port (based on decompilation work by bnunu and punpckhdq) doesn't include original game assets. The port runs on Windows, Linux, Android, and jailbroken PS5, and supports the full campaign plus 128-player multiplayer. _Developers curious about decompilation and retro game preservation follow projects like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Halo: Combat Evolved Can Now Be Played in a Browser](https://daily.dev/posts/halo-combat-evolved-can-now-be-played-in-a-browser-vjdrzjs68) · 80 LEVEL · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Halo: Campaign Evolved Launches in 2026 Xbox, PC, & PS5](https://daily.dev/posts/halo-campaign-evolved-launches-in-2026-xbox-pc-ps5-ej1qv4e8r) · 80 LEVEL · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [The GoldenEye 007 PC port we’ve waited decades for is finally here](https://daily.dev/posts/the-goldeneye-007-pc-port-we-ve-waited-decades-for-is-finally-here-udq7hwjfo) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Play PlayStation 2 And XBox 1 Games On Your Jailbroken PS5](https://daily.dev/posts/play-playstation-2-and-xbox-1-games-on-your-jailbroken-ps5-bw3lzplvz) · Hackaday · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android), [#reverse-engineering](https://daily.dev/tags/reverse-engineering) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/thanks-to-fans-the-original-halo-just-got-an-unofficial-windows-linux-ps5-and-android-port-elhtil4nz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Thanks to fans, the original Halo just got an unofficial Windows, Linux, PS5, and Android port","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/thanks-to-fans-the-original-halo-just-got-an-unofficial-windows-linux-ps5-and-android-port-elhtil4nz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/thanks-to-fans-the-original-halo-just-got-an-unofficial-windows-linux-ps5-and-android-port-elhtil4nz"},"datePublished":"2026-10-01T19:34:04.401Z","dateModified":"2026-10-01T19:35:08.990Z","description":"A community-driven decompilation project has ported the original Halo: Combat Evolved to Windows, Linux, Android, and jailbroken PS5, supporting the full...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0315b6eccd7e0925a46d49fa7e6c28c1?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0315b6eccd7e0925a46d49fa7e6c28c1?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"XDA Developers","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"XDA Developers","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--kCg6yyAP--/f_auto,q_auto/v1774964407/logos/xda-developers?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/thanks-to-fans-the-original-halo-just-got-an-unofficial-windows-linux-ps5-and-android-port-elhtil4nz","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"android,reverse-engineering","timeRequired":"PT2M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"XDA Developers","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Thanks to fans, the original Halo just got an unofficial Windows, Linux, PS5, and Android port"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/thanks-to-fans-the-original-halo-just-got-an-unofficial-windows-linux-ps5-and-android-port-elhtil4nz#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I play the fan-made Halo Combat Evolved port on PC or Android","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"You need your own Xbox disc image of Halo: Combat Evolved in .iso or .xiso format, compatible with all original versions of the game, since the community port (based on decompilation work by bnunu and punpckhdq) doesn't include original game assets.
