NFSU2Recomp
Static recompiler and runtime that turn the 32-bit PC executable of NFS Underground 2 into a native Apple Silicon app, with Direct3D 9 translated to Metal and DirectSound to CoreAudio. Supports the European and North American executables; the prebuilt app holds only recompiled code and reads the game from the player's own install. Source is visible but all rights reserved.
