'Splosion Man — Linux v2.0

The bespoke-launcher release. v2.0 replaces the adapted Dante's Inferno launcher with the new TP 'Splosion Man Launcher — built for this project family, themed, and a much nicer place to live — and ships the FSR-fixed runtime.

What's new in v2.0

  • New TP Launcher: 'Splosion Man theme, game detection by title ID, and a built-in STFS importer — pick your XBLA package file on the Game tab and the launcher extracts it for you (no external tools).
  • 23 settings, all explained: display, upscaling, audio, input, and advanced options, each with a one-sentence plain-language explanation, saved automatically as you change them, with a Reset to Defaults button.
  • AMD FSR actually works now: the runtime is built with FidelityFX enabled (in v1.3 the FSR option silently fell back to bilinear). A/B-verified: 720p → 1440p with FSR is visibly sharper than bilinear.
  • Matched build set: game executable and runtime libraries from one build — never mix files across releases.
  • Launcher housekeeping: it vacuums leaked guest-memory mappings from crashed runs before launching, so a previous crash can't starve the next run.

Downloads

  • SplosionMan-x86_64-v2.0.AppImage — single-file launcher + game. Make it executable and run it.
  • SplosionMan-Linux-v2.0.zip — the same AppImage in a ZIP, with the README alongside it.

You need your own game data

No game data is included. Supply your own legally obtained XBLA package of 'Splosion Man (title ID 5841098F) — the launcher's Import button extracts it, or point the launcher at a folder containing default.xex.

Requirements & honest compatibility notes

  • Linux, x86_64, a GPU with Vulkan support.
  • This build was compiled on Ubuntu 26.04 and needs glibc 2.43 or newer — in practice, very recent distros. A more portable build (glibc 2.39 floor) is planned; if the AppImage refuses to start on your distro, that's the most likely reason, and an issue report with your distro + glibc version helps prioritize it.

Built with the ReXGlue SDK. Unofficial fan recompilation project; not affiliated with Twisted Pixel or Microsoft.
