To play: download ng2recomp-v1.0.11-win-amd64.zip below, unzip it
anywhere, run ng2.exe and point it at your own copy of Ninja Gaiden II (a
disc image or an extracted disc folder) and, if you have them, your DLC
packages. The zip holds the executable, the runtime, the Visual C++ runtime it
needs, the controller database and the texture tools, and no game assets or
data of any kind. The executable contains the game's code in translated form;
without your copy of the game it does nothing. Updating an existing install:
unzip over it; game\, dlc\, user\ and your settings are never touched.
Fixed - collapsing the settings window crashed the game
The arrow at the top left of the in-game settings window collapsed it, and
the texture section then submitted its rows into a table that was never
begun; the first row read through a null pointer inside the runtime. The
window no longer offers the arrow (F10 closes it), a window that is not drawn
ends early, and the table is guarded like every other on the page.
Also new in the write-up: Windows keeps a crash dump for every crash the game
has, and the catalogue now names four more crashes from the same evening that
are still open, one of them a texture-pack upload after F9 was toggled twice
a few seconds apart while a level streamed in.
