 What you see in a race, on a 21:9 ultrawide: a wider view, not a stretched one, with the HUD and the mirror where they belong.

## What is SpeedBreaker?
SpeedBreaker is an unofficial static recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of *Need for Speed:
Most Wanted* (2005): a native port, not an emulator. It runs as an ordinary app on your device
(see how it works).
It is built from the **Xbox 360 version** of the game, not the PC version: it runs the Xbox 360
release's own code, translated ahead of time, and it installs only from the Xbox 360 disc.
You bring the game: SpeedBreaker installs it from a backup of your own disc and checks every
file. Then you race, with things the Xbox 360 couldn't do: up to 4K, ultrawide and tall screens,
and a settings menu you can open mid-race.
## Highlights
- **Up to 4K.** The 3D scene renders at 1x, 1.5x, 2x or 3x the console's 720p (1.5x is 1080p,
 3x is 3840x2160). *Auto* picks a scale for your screen and device.
- **Ultrawide done right.** On 21:9 screens the view gets wider instead of stretched, and the
 HUD and the rear-view mirror stay in place. A 4:3 iPad, a 3:2 screen or the 16:10 screens of
 the Steam Deck and many Macs show more above and below instead, and fill the screen.
- **Up to 60 fps,** locked to your 60 Hz display. You can also pick a steady 30 at full game
 speed, or *Auto*, which drops to 30 only while a device is hot or can't hold 60.
- **The sun glare is back.** The low sun glows in open sky and fades behind buildings, as it did
 on the console.
- **The original look:** sunlit roads and shadows as on the console, the picture a real Xbox 360
 sends to a TV (the game's own display gamma), correct colours on Apple devices, proper car paint
 and mirror reflections, and distant textures that don't shimmer. Anti-aliasing, sharpening,
 FSR 1 upscaling, a Brightness setting and up to 16x anisotropic filtering are also availa
