Bio Nick 2 - v1.0

First release of Bio Nick 2, a native Windows port of Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 (XBLA, “World” release). The game’s Xbox 360 code is statically recompiled to x64 Windows code and runs on a Direct3D 11 renderer.

You need to supply your own game file. The first time you run bcr2.exe, it asks you to browse for your copy of the XBLA “World” release (usually named 52F33688A9A36ABD078C31F43611F166352655B958, about 1.41 GB). It checks the file’s SHA-256 (22fdb63f0fef1aa948d15db130868113f59c43bd9fc35515fe74d65613b44fbe), unpacks the game into a game folder beside the exe, and offers to start. After that the original file is no longer needed. The first start compiles shaders, which takes a short while.

Features

  • Display: windowed or borderless fullscreen, internal resolution up to 4x (2160p at 3x), output resolution, FXAA, texture filtering up to 16x anisotropic, gamma, FPS display, and Vsync.
  • Input: keyboard and mouse as well as XInput controllers, with press-to-assign remapping of pad buttons and keys.
  • Button labels: Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.
  • Options and extras: a Music Test screen, Swap Confirm & Cancel, Skip Splash Screens, Disable Jump, and God Mode.
  • Screenshots: F12 saves a PNG to a screenshots folder.
  • Fixes for original-game behaviours: grenade collision issues, helicopter gun’s rate of fire, a stuck Death From Above sound loop, and belt-chunk pop-in on the Robot Factory level.

Requirements

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a Direct3D 11 capable GPU. No Visual C++ redistributable is needed.

Known issues

  • On the Robot Factory level, boxes on the background conveyor belt sometimes pop in or out for a moment. The cause isn’t found yet.
  • Achievements and Leaderboards aren’t available in this port and are hidden.
  • The exe is unsigned, so some antivirus software, including AVG, may flag it as a false positive. If it does, restore it from quarantine and add an exclusion.
