Virtual Pro Wrestling 2
jessetbh/VPW2Recomp
A static recompilation of Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Ōdō Keishō, the Japan-only sequel to Virtual Pro Wrestling 64, for Windows, with N64Recomp, N64ModernRuntime, and RT64. It’s the sixth and last in the same author’s family of AKI wrestling games. It’s in beta: it boots, plays through menus and full matches with music and sound, with two controllers verified, and saves the cartridge save automatically. It’s independent of the AKI-Club decompilation: the symbols come from the author’s own disassembly. The game is in Japanese, as released, though several English fan translations run as mods on top of your ROM. It adds widescreen, high resolution, controls tailored to the AKI scheme, and, experimentally, 60 and 120 fps through interpolation, ray tracing, a CRT filter, and HDR, plus a mods menu with a free camera and cheats. 10 of its 91 commits link a Claude Code session.
You needYour own unpatched Japanese ROM of Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Ōdō Keishō (NA2J). Plus Windows with a Direct3D 12 (Shader Model 6) or Vulkan 1.2 graphics card and a CPU with SSE4.1.
Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 Deluxe
TanookiStudios/VPW64DeluxeRecomp
A native Mac and Linux port of Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 Deluxe, Lowwater’s 2026 fan edition of Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (AKI, N64, Japan, 2000), with a bigger roster, new arenas, and English menus. It’s a static recompilation with N64Recomp and jessetbh’s forks of N64ModernRuntime, RecompFrontend, and RT64, using the function map from jessetbh’s Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 recomp. Version 0.1.0 (October 18) has the whole game: title, menus, and every match type reachable from Exhibition, with saves and automatic backups, a launcher with settings, controls, and cheats, controllers that work with no setup, and an in-game menu. A Windows version is coming in a later release. All 29 of its commits list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 Deluxe ROM, the fan edition (63.7 MB big-endian .z64); the retail Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 cartridge and the FreeM edition won’t work. Plus macOS 13 or later (Apple silicon or Intel) or a 64-bit Linux desktop from 2022 or later.
