So.... this was a little unexpected, and no it's not an April Fools joke. On March 25th, 2024, redditor Senator_man (also known as nick_senator on discord once he joined there) found an Xbox 360 devkit belonging to an accountant who worked at Akella, sold off for fucking $25. On that console featured two builds of Postal 3 on there, a build from September 29th, 2009 and August 16th, 2010. This is the second build, and currently the only one that was recovered to a bootable state. Both builds were unfortunately pretty messed up, due to the devkit being wiped, but we were able to recover the files off the drive, which also included a prototype of Red Faction: Guerilla from March 20th, 2009 that ended up getting overwritten. The build currently is not 1:1, as a few files are still corrupted (like a few bik files and the Zealot farm map is corrupted), and as such I will be waiting for it to be fixed before anything else. Also in case it wasn't obvious this does boot on a devkit, when we were testing it on Xenia it was blabbering about how it was devkit signed so I didn't think this would work on my modded RGH X360 but it does, so that is what this video is about. If your hardware is good just run this on Xenia instead as it will perform better.
Special thanks to Senator_man/nick_senator for finding the devkit, and a really special thanks to MrPinball64 (the person who was able to recover the build singlehandedly by actually knowing how to hex edit to defrag the files), Dink (for helping with defragging), Tristan885 (for identifying file formats and originally getting the files dumped off the drive), and Kizoky (for recovering BSP files and also looking internally to see if there's anything else this holds).
