Chupathingy is a free, open-source port of the Halo: Combat Evolved
decompilation. It runs natively on Windows, Mac (Apple silicon and Intel),
Linux (including Steam Deck) and Android, with no emulator, and it is built for stability and
community play: the original Xbox campaign and multiplayer maps, Halo PC and
Custom Edition maps, online games with the community's servers, and releases
you can count on. Xbox and Xbox 360 versions are built separately, by
Warthog (source only, for now).
**To play:** download the build for your system, start it, and
point it at your own copy of the game (first start).
Then join a game online. Bring your own copy: we never host
or share Microsoft's files.
**Help and community:** the Discord is where
people find games, ask for help and report bugs, and
chupathingy.org is the project site. Expect
rough edges, and please report them.
## What Chupathingy is and isn't
- A port of the Halo: Combat Evolved decompilation for Windows, Mac, Linux
 and Android, run by its community.
- You bring your own legally owned copy of the game. We never host, share or
 distribute Microsoft's files, and the game never downloads them.
- No browser version, and no websites or domains that look official.
- A fan project, not made or endorsed by Microsoft, Bungie or 343 Industries.

The game checks for new releases when it starts and asks before updating. On Linux there is also an AppImage, on the test builds for now.
We don't pay for code signing yet, so the first start needs one extra step:
- **Windows** may warn about an unknown publisher: choose **More info → Run anyway**.
- **Mac**: move ChupathingyCE to Applications and open it. If macOS won't open
 it, go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security**, and choose **Open
 Anyway** next to ChupathingyCE. You only do this once.
