About this project

A static recompilation of the PS2 wrestling game with PS2Recomp, built on Def Jam Vendetta Recompiled. It boots through the memory-card screens, plays the intro and menu movies with music, commentary, crowd audio and sound effects, and runs demo matches at 32 to 44 fps; a native renderer for the 3D models is in progress. No release yet: you build it from your own disc.

What you need

Your own WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain disc image (PS2, NTSC-U, SLUS-20787), and Windows with a Vulkan graphics card. No download yet.
