Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved - native launcher.

What you get: the recompiled game (3,402 PowerPC functions rebuilt as native x86-64), a native Vulkan renderer and native audio, in a small launcher. No game data is included - you point it at your own copy.

Source: your own dump of the Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved Xbox Live Arcade package (title 584107ED) - the single LIVE / CON / PIRS file, or a folder of its extracted files. The importer also installs DLC packs.

Run it:

# Linux
tar --zstd -xf geometrywars-launcher-linux-x86_64.tar.zst
cd geometrywars && tools/port_gui.sh      # or ./run.sh
# Windows: unzip the windows launcher and run Launcher.bat

Needs a Vulkan GPU driver. CONVERSION.md inside the bundle has the details.
