openNG2 1.0.2

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 1.0.2

• Fixed: button prompts showed keyboard & mouse keys unless you were holding a controller button. Prompts now switch to the keyboard only when you press a key or move the mouse, and stay on controller buttons otherwise.

Updating

• From 1.0.1: the launcher and the game offer the update; click Update now. Saves and settings are kept.
• From 1.0: download openNG2-1.0.2.zip, extract it over your old openNG2 folder, run openNG2.exe and click Update the game under Installed.

New install

1. Download openNG2-1.0.2.zip, extract it, and run openNG2.exe.
2. Add your files (each one is checked when you add it):
   • Game (required): Games on Demand package C1200E9B558D04454FA6 with its .data folder, a disc image (.iso), or an extracted game folder
   • Title Update #2 (required): TU_1A461UL_000000G000000.00000000000G4
   • DLC folder (optional): Mission Mode and the costume packs
3. Click Build. The first build downloads a compiler (about 2 GB) and takes a while; then click Play.

Requirements: 64-bit Windows 10/11, a Direct3D 12 graphics card, about 22 GB of free space on the install drive, and an internet connection for the first build.

Known issues

• Game logic runs at 60 FPS; above 60 is frame generation.
• If your GPU can't hold 60 FPS (e.g. at 5x resolution) the game slows down, as on the console.
• Only tested through the early chapters and Mission Mode so far. Please report problems.
• No mouse control in menus; the Show Karma key has no keyboard binding yet.
• If openNG2 is in a folder Windows won't let it write to (such as Program Files), it can't update itself. It tells you, and you can download the new version from this page.
