by K0NL B2recomp (short for Bayonetta 2 Recompiled) is an unofficial static recompilation of Bayonetta 2 (Nintendo Switch) for Windows. It translates the Switch version's AArch64 program code to C on your own PC, from your own legally dumped copy of the game, and runs it natively on Windows with a re-implemented system layer (threads, file system, audio, input, and the NVN graphics API on Vulkan). It is not an emulator (no CPU interpreter, no JIT) and it is not a way to get the game. Measured on the developer's PC (Windows 11, 16 threads, a Vulkan 1.3 GPU): Expect bugs. Builds are compared with a scripted test run (python scripts/bench.py, see BUILDING.md). There is no prebuilt game, no game.dll, no gamenative.exe to download, and there never will be: the game is translated and compiled on your PC, from your files. What you can download is this source code, either…
