Amped 2 (bertibertig)
bertibertig/Amped2-Recomp
An experimental static recompilation of Amped 2 (original Xbox, 2003) into a native x86-64 program, based on xboxrecomp: the game’s code is translated to C and compiled, and the runtime and the project’s own code replace the Xbox kernel, GPU, audio, and input; there is no emulator. According to the README, on Linux (Vulkan renderer) the movies, menus, level select, and a ride with Millicent 1 work, with the HUD and challenge cards, at about 55 frames per second, and music no longer drops out. It offers resolution from 1× to 5×, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, and 21:9 aspect ratios, and an unlocked frame rate. The Windows version is experimental and not playable yet (software renderer only, 2 to 6 frames per second, tested under Wine and Proton). Version 0.2.0 (October 21) is the latest. All 16 of its commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own Amped 2 disc for the original Xbox, PAL/European version (title ID 4D530041, default.xbe with SHA-1 38e63cd016bf084d999e0a911933a52191bfc378), as an .iso image extracted with extract-xiso or xdvdfs into the game_files folder; other versions have not been tested. On Linux, glibc 2.39 or newer, SDL2, and a Vulkan driver.

RE-Amped2 brings Amped 2 (Microsoft Game Studios / Indie Built, 2003, original Xbox) to Windows as a native game. It is not an emulator: the game’s code is translated to C and compiled into a Windows program on your PC, from your own disc. According to the README it runs at a steady 60 fps, in widescreen, at up to 4K and beyond, with controller and keyboard support, and supports mods (packs, single-file replacements, and scripts) and replacement texture packs. It is in early access: the whole game is playable, but there are bugs. No game files are included or downloaded; the repository includes the project’s own branding textures (logo, boot splashes) that replace the originals. Version 0.2.1 is from October 30. The repository includes an AGENTS.md with rules for AI coding agents.
You needYour own Amped 2 disc image (.iso or .xiso), from the USA or the European and Australian release. 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 with a DirectX 11 card, about 6 GB free and, if the free build tools are missing, up to 7 GB more on C: and an internet connection during installation.
