OpenTricky 
 The PC port SSX Tricky never got. 
 Built from the original game, with its features restored, and everything a modern PC release would have: today's controllers, new visual options, ultrawide, high frame rates and a real launcher.

## What is this?
OpenTricky runs *SSX Tricky* (2001) natively on Windows. It is not an emulator: the game's own Xbox code is translated to C with
xboxrecomp and compiled into an ordinary Windows program, and the Xbox's graphics, sound and input chips
are reimplemented on Direct3D 11, XAudio2 and XInput. OpenTricky continues **SSX Tricky PC** by MatiasRiveraC.
The goals:
1. **Feature complete.** Built from the original game, with all its features restored: fog, lens flares, colours, 5.1 sound.
2. **A modern PC release**: modern controllers and button styles (Xbox, PlayStation, PS2 original), the original PS2 controls with all 15 grabs, full keyboard and controller remapping, any resolution, ultrawide, high frame rates, all set up in one launcher.
3. **New options on top**: smoother edges, soft shadows, longer draw distance, optional HD textures. The *Original Xbox* preset turns them all off at once.
## What's new in 0.1.3
- **Linux and Steam Deck**: the very low frame rate under Wine and Proton is fixed. The game now runs smoothly there.
- **Music, as in the original game**: it fades down and back up over one second (under the announcer's voice, on the results screen, in the menus) instead of jumping at once.
- **Signed updates**: the launcher checks the signature of the downloaded zip and refuses one that is unsigned or modified.
- **Steam Deck preset**: applied by itself at the first start on a Steam Deck.
Everything else: the release notes and CHANGELOG.md.
## Install and play
**You need** Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a Direct3D 11 graphics card, and a disc image (`.iso` or `.xiso`) of your own ***SSX Tricky* Xbox disc, USA release**
(the PS2, GameCube, PAL and Japanese versions won't work). A controller is optional: Xbox-style (XInput) controllers and the keyboard work.
1. Download `OpenTricky- -unstable-win64.zip` from **Releases** and extract it into a new, empty folder.
2. Start **`OpenTricky.exe`**, the launcher, and choose your disc image: the launcher checks it and remembers it.
3. Pick a preset or your own settings, then press **PLAY**.
The game itself is `bin\SSX Tricky.exe`: it
