openNG2 1.0.1

A native Windows version of Ninja Gaiden II (Xbox 360), built from your own copy of the game. No game files are included.

What's new in 1.0.1

openNG2 now keeps itself up to date.

• Launcher: checks for a new release when it starts. Click Update now: it downloads the new version, checks it, replaces itself and rebuilds your game from the files already installed. You don't need to add your game files again.
• In the game: when an update is out, a notice on the title screen and menus says Update available - Open the launcher, with UPDATE NOW and CLOSE buttons. You can also update from Options > Recomp Settings > System > Update with a controller or keyboard.
• Keep playing while it builds. The launcher waits for you to close the game before it installs the new version. Saves and settings are kept.
• The launcher now shows your installed version, with Play and Rebuild buttons.
• The check is one anonymous request to GitHub. Turn it off in the launcher (the "at start" box) or with System > Check for Updates.

Updating from 1.0

1.0 can't update itself, so this one time:

1. Download openNG2-1.0.1.zip and extract it over your old openNG2 folder (or anywhere else).
2. Run openNG2.exe. Your existing install shows up under Installed. Click Update the game: it rebuilds from the files already installed, so there's nothing to add.

From 1.0.1 on, updates are one click.

New install

1. Download openNG2-1.0.1.zip, extract it, and run openNG2.exe.
