openNG2: a native Windows port of the World Xbox 360 release (media ID 69F555CB), by static recompilation with the ReXGlue SDK. Since v1.1.0 it renders by default with a native Vulkan renderer, with no GPU emulation, which the author says takes 64% less GPU time per frame than the Direct3D 12 path, still available. Game logic runs at 60 fps, and an option generates an in-between frame to reach 120. It offers any resolution and window mode, 21:9 and 32:9 with the HUD at the screen edges, field of view, internal resolution from 1x to 5x, FSR upscaling (temporal on the native renderer; FSR 1.0 and CAS on Direct3D 12), FXAA, quality presets, Xbox, PS4, and PS5 controllers with matching icons, keyboard and mouse with remappable keys and the game’s prompts showing your keys, settings inside the game’s own menus, skipping the intro and any cutscene, save backups, Mission Mode and the DLC costumes, cheats (every difficulty and costume unlocked), and shader precompilation. It has only been tested through the early chapters and Mission Mode; the mouse doesn’t work in menus, and the sky may smear during fast camera turns. The launcher checks your files, downloads its own compiler, builds and installs the game, and keeps it up to date by rebuilding only what changed. It used the Ninja’s Dawn project as a reference and, unlike gamboozino’s port, needs Title Update 2 rather than 3. v1.1.0 (November 5) is the latest of 7 releases. All of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.
