FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 LAUNCHER+

The previous 1.x release didn't age well to say the least and ended up being mostly broken over time.
I had some interest to give it a little makeover as a way to experiment some new-ish concepts for another project without knowing if it would lead to a new release.

So to celebrate the 20th anniversary of FFX-2 release; here it is: an almost complete rewrite from NW.js to Electron/IPC.

⚠️ Just like the 1.x version this one is boxed into a single .exe file for ease of use.
Due to this and my lack of authenticode. There is a high chance of antivirus false positive.

If this is a concern or you are running Linux please use the "non-boxed" version.

Changelog:

v2.0.0

• Support latest UnX version (0.9.1.x) in either UTF8 or UTF16LE

• Improved gamepad support by using native XInput over the Web Gamepad API

• Improved UnX detection by reading UnX.dll path from dxgi.ini

• Improved .ini file parsing

• Improved minimize on game launch behavior

• Improved user shell folder finder (eg: "My Documents")

• Improved screen resolution detection (DPI aware)

• New Setting menu

  It's actually not that new since I made it years ago for the 1.x version but didn't finish / release it at the time 😅

• Add an alternate background (FFX-2 Vita)

• AI upscaled background (2x resolution)

• Add new sfx sounds from the game

• Add new background music soundtracks

• Add option to clean log files created by the game and UnX

• Add command line and environment variable to override game directory path

• Removed some UnX option to match latest version (see UnX changelog for details)

• Complete stack rewrite from NW.js, node integration, jQuery to Electron, IPC, ESM modules, VanillaJS and WebComponents
