  Release build-244, Oct 19, 2026

  How to play+

  1. It needs your own Xbox disc image of Halo: Combat Evolved (.xiso or .iso); every version works.
  2. Download the release build for your system (Linux, Windows or Android) from its latest release; the debug build is for reporting problems.
  3. At the first start, select your own disc image when it asks: it extracts the maps folder, then the game starts.
  4. On Android, copy your own disc image to the phone first.
  5. It updates itself: at startup it offers to install a newer release.
  6. It plays system link games on a local network or over the internet, up to 128 players, across Linux, Windows, Android and browsers.
  7. European (PAL) maps are changed to play like the North American ones, so both versions play together.
