Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) 的 Nintendo Switch 移植版

INSTALLER WEBSITE (use it to install the game in your SD card): https://stevensnd.github.io/nfsmw-nx-installer/

NOTE: IS IMPORTANT TO READ NSMW-NX LINK!!

A native Nintendo Switch port of the Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005).

It's not an emulator. The PowerPC code of the game's default.xex is statically recompiled to C++ with ReXGlue and compiled for the Switch and the game is drawn by a native Vulkan renderer running on NVK (Mesa). It targets 30 FPS at the console's stock clocks with no overclock.

NOTE: You need your own copy of the Xbox 360 game: a disc image (.iso) or the extracted disc with its default.xex.Supported editions: PAL (Spanish, English, German and Italian), NTSC-U and NTSC-J.

This is amazing, thanks a lot.
Are 60 fps possible with overclock or not really?

You need a high overclock and not really at least on my tests. You'll be around 40-50 FPS.

To do that, I'd still need to polish and optimize the game some more and because of my job, I won't be able to return to the project until October is over.

Awesome!! that certainly wasn't on my bingo chart. There where so many version of that game is it the xbox 360 version the black edition or the regular edition?

There is no black edition for X360. Japan got Black Edition release, but it didn't have Black Edition content, only DVD with bonuses.

wow that's running without overclock? Impressive AF

Wow! This and Carbon are two of my favorite games of that decade. Very cool!

Great job, this runs better than I expected. I miss the old NFS, this really scratches that itch. Thank you!

Feature Request: Add Chinese localization support for NFSMW-NX

I hope this port can support Simplified Chinese for Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005).
The original Xbox360 NTSC-U release does not come with native Chinese. However, there is an existing community Chinese mod made specifically for this port.

The unsupported game hash I got:
0cd7b9fa3957de085e298c91faa726116ad0079abaefead82c2f3337ee432e64

Would you consider supporting this mod use case, or adding native Chinese support?
Attached is my default.xex.

Will need to wait for new update in future with 60 fps locker if not with 360 then hopefully have from OG XBOX Most Wanted Black!

FYI: You need a high OC to get close to that.

Then that's what you get 🤷‍♂️

I tried to try it, but simply when I started a new race, it closes with the generic screen of it has been closed because of an error.

I have an OLED and it has no OC.

This is the installer website. You are doing something wrong.

Thank you very much! Does this version support disabling overbright and the yellow/brown filter?

Yeah, now everything okay.

~~I don't even care about the 30FPS cap,~~

i love this game so much and to be able to play this on the go is such a great thing. I wonder if car mods are possible, would love to add the palmont imports mod...

Edit: There is no FPS cap, my bad.
