It includes a launcher with display settings (16:9, 21:9, and 32:9 aspect ratios, a frame-rate cap from 60 to 240 or unlocked), graphics settings (internal resolution from 720p to 2160p, anisotropic filtering, native 2× MSAA), and game settings, and an online mode with a community server that relays traffic so no port forwarding is needed; up to three skaters and a goalie per team. The packages are portable and the latest release is 0.3.1 (October 28).

3 on 3 NHL Arcade (Wndwsqrrl)
Wndwsqrrl/3on3NHL-recomp
A native PC port of 3 on 3 NHL Arcade (Xbox 360, Xbox Live Arcade, 2009), made by statically recompiling the PowerPC executable to C++ with ReXGlue; it uses no emulator at runtime. According to the README the menus, intro movies, and full matches work, with Xbox and PlayStation controllers, a launcher that sets the game up from your package, and 10 of the 12 achievements (the other 2 need online play). Online play and mods (updated rosters, portraits, and logos) are listed as planned, and raising the internal resolution breaks text and some textures. The repository also has code for an Android version, which according to its README boots and renders the title screen and menus but has input unfinished. The latest version is 0.1.1 (October 6), a Windows zip of about 92 MB. None of its 28 commits lists Claude as a co-author.
