Wipeout2K97XL is a native port of Wipeout XL for Windows, made by static recompilation with PSXRecomp. The download is a setup kit, not a prebuilt game: the game code is generated and compiled on your PC from your own disc on first run.

It emulates the NeGcon controller and adds a configurable dual-stick layout with analog steering and trigger acceleration, keyboard controls, optional 16:9, longer scenery and ship draw distance, and CRT effects, all off by default.

This is an initial preview (v0.1.0); experimental Linux and macOS builds exist as a separate pre-release with unverified gameplay. The download contains no game data. It needs Wipeout XL (USA, SCUS-94351), dumped from your own disc.

## How to set it up

1. Download the Windows setup zip and extract all of it to a folder you can write to.
2. Install Python 3.11 or newer, then run `Wipeout2K97XL.exe`.
3. Keep OpenBIOS selected, select your `.cue` and choose Generate & rebuild; the wizard can download its compiler toolchain, and the build takes several minutes.
4. Reopen `Wipeout2K97XL.exe` after the build finishes to start the game. Back up your saves before updating.
