How the four active recompilation ports fit together
Rather than a single monolithic download, the community maintains specialized branches targeting Vulkan, Direct3D 12, and Apple Metal on top of sp00nznet/ps3recomp.
Vulkan · Windows, Linux & Deck
SamiEnazi/infamous2-port (v0.5.7)
Built on top of Erik Martins' LLE base (commit 8077cda) and ThiagoFraga761's native Edge SPU kernels, SamiEnazi's Vulkan port delivers 99-166 fps at native 1080p, 4K internal rendering, full-resolution fire and smoke (F3 A/B toggle), non-destructive .zip mod loading, F2 cheats, and native Linux/Steam Deck builds via ./setup.sh.
Direct3D 12 · Save States & Hor+
bhuiyah/infamous2-recomp (v0.1.41)
An independent Windows Direct3D 12 engineering effort shipping 42 releases in four days. bhuiyah's launcher compiles your US BCUS98125 1.04 files in roughly four minutes on a 16-thread CPU, adds sub-second .p3ss save states (F5/F9 + Ctrl+F1..F10 with Undo), true Hor+ ultrawide HUD placement, and SIXAXIS pad deduplication.
Apple Silicon Metal & inFAMOUS 1
erikomis macOS & inFAMOUS 1 LLE
Erik Martins maintains both the macOS Apple Silicon aarch64.dmg alpha for inFAMOUS 2 (v0.2.23, MetalFX + self-updating Tauri UI) and the inFAMOUS 1 static recompilation (v0.1.2, NPUA80480), which boots through the Empire City blast to the prologue tutorial with DualSense trigger haptics.

Technical questions on inFAMOUS 2 recompilation
Verified answers from upstream build scripts, config files, and GitHub issue trackers.
Which inFAMOUS 2 PC port should I install on Windows 10 or 11?
Install SamiEnazi/infamous2-port (v0.5.7 Setup.exe) if you want the highest Vulkan frame rates (99-166 fps), 1440p/4K scaling, enhanced soft shadows, HD fire/smoke, the F2 cheats and mod manager menu, Playnite trophy sync, or EU/Turkey/PSN copy support. Install bhuiyah/infamous2-recomp (v0.1.41) if you want instant F5/F9 10-slot save states, a fast ~4-minute C++ build, or Hor+ ultrawide with edge-aligned HUD meters on a US BCUS98125 copy.
Do any of these ports include PS3 game files, firmware, or keys?
No. Every repository documented on infamous2recomp.wiki ships strictly MIT-licensed recompiler, launcher, and runtime source code. You must supply your own legally owned PS3 disc or PSN digital copy and Sony PS3 system software installed in RPCS3 so the builder can translate your local EBOOT and SPU modules on your own machine.
Can I transfer my existing RPCS3 save files to the native PC ports?
Yes. Both SamiEnazi/infamous2-port and bhuiyah/infamous2-recomp read and write standard PS3 savedata folders. Copy your title save folder (such as BCUS98125 or BCES01143) from RPCS3's dev_hdd0/home/00000001/savedata directory into the port's savedata folder, and your campaign progress loads immediately.
Why do both Windows ports require a CPU with AVX2 instructions?
Cell Broadband Engine SPU vector instructions (128-bit SIMD) are compiled into x86-64 AVX2 intrinsics. Any Intel 4th-generation Haswell processor or newer and any AMD Ryzen CPU supports AVX2. Older pre-AVX2 chips close immediately at startup, which bhuiyah v0.1.41 now flags clearly in the launcher.
Is RPCS3 still running in the background while I play?
No. RPCS3 is invoked once during initial setup to decrypt your owned 1.04 update EBOOT.BIN and required system modules (such as libsre.sprx). Once your native executable is compiled, the game runs directly on your CPU and GPU with zero emulation.
What about HyperaebaseAlpha/infamous2-pc-respocket on GitHub?
That repository contains only a generic contributing template with zero source code, zero releases, and no README. Only SamiEnazi/infamous2-port, bhuiyah/infamous2-recomp, erikomis/infamous2-recomp, and erikomis/infamous1-recomp publish verified working toolchains.
