NBA Street V3
Game: NBA Street V3 (PS2, 2005)
A native port of the US PS2 release (SLUS-21126) for Windows and Apple silicon macOS. The game’s code is recompiled to native code with PS2Recomp, with the project’s own changes, and drawn on the GPU by PCSX2’s renderer (Vulkan, Direct3D 11 and 12, or OpenGL on Windows; Metal on Mac); PCSX2’s SPU2 mixes the sound. According to its documentation it plays start to finish offline, with matches at about 60 fps. It offers up to 8x internal resolution, 16:9, texture filtering, AMD FSR 1, and NVIDIA DLSS with the game’s real depth and motion vectors, controller and keyboard support, and an in-game graphics menu. It brings back online play, which EA shut down years ago, through a community server that reimplements its protocol and relays match traffic, so no port forwarding is needed; the server code isn’t in the repository. On Windows, the launcher downloads the tools and builds the game from your ISO the first time (about an hour); the Mac build already carries the recompiled code and reads everything else from your ISO. There’s also an experimental browser version you have to build yourself. While preparing the game on Windows, the launcher downloads a fan-made HD texture pack (about 250 MB) from the project’s releases page, and it can be turned off. Version 1.4.1 came out on October 20. About 39 of its 54 commits list Claude as co-author.
