Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction Recompiled is a native Windows port of Insomniac’s 2007 PS3 game, released as Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, made by static recompilation with the ps3recomp toolkit. The game’s PowerPC and SPU code is translated to C and C++ ahead of time and built into a normal program, the PS3’s system libraries are replaced by native versions and the RSX graphics by Direct3D 12, so nothing is emulated while it runs. Only the European disc is supported, and the installer builds the game folder from the player’s own decrypted copy.
The internal resolution is a free multiple of the game’s 720p, up to 4K and beyond, and the 3D scene is no longer stretched from its smaller original size. It aims for 60 frames a second where the original often ran at 30, with MSAA or FXAA, 16x anisotropic filtering, restored character shadows, real ultrawide with the HUD kept at 16:9 and an experimental ray-traced ambient occlusion. Every key and mouse button can be rebound, button prompts follow the controller, and a DualSense’s adaptive triggers respond to each weapon.
It is playable from the first planet onwards, but not finished: the busiest fights can still drop below 60 frames a second, and some water, shadow and effect glitches are listed by the developer. There is no Linux build, though the Windows one runs through Proton on the Steam Deck.

What's new in v1.2.1Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction Recompiled 1.2.1
Real ultrawide and the PC settings in the game’s own Options menu.
Unzip it over 1.2.0, or run Update.bat in your game folder: your settings and saves are kept.
- Real ultrawide: at 21:9, 3440x1440 and 32:9 the game now shows a wider view (more of the scene at the sides, same vertical field of view as 16:9) instead of a stretched picture. The HUD, the weapon wheel and the menus stay 16:9 in the middle; the pause menu background covers the whole screen. Turn it on in F1 > Video > Aspect ratio (or
TOD_ASPECTintod.ini);Autouses the shape of your screen. (#3) - PC settings in the game’s Options menu: resolution, window mode, anti-aliasing, shadows, ray-traced AO, VSync and more now appear in Options, from the main menu and from the pause menu. The game prepares this once at the first start from your own copy (about half a second; the original files are never changed).
TOD_MENU = 0intod.initurns it off. - Crop black bars is now in F1 > Video. (#12)
- Armor look and Remove helmet (F1 > System, and in Options): hide the equipped armor so Ratchet keeps his normal suit, or keep the armor and take only the helmet off. The armor still protects him, saves are unchanged, and both apply at once.
- Kreeli Comet’s ground fog is a soft haze over the ground again, as on the PS3, instead of a flat light-blue sheet. The shader cache is rebuilt once at the first start (about half a minute).
- A clearer notice when a new version is available.
Full list in the changelog.
You need your own copy of the game (BCES00052, European disc, v1.00). Nothing of the game is included.
