Burnout Dominator (PS2) recompiled natively for PC
By Tgames · · 2 min read
Burnout Dominator, which stayed on PS2 and PSP, is recompiled natively for PC from your European ISO: the full game, true 16:9 and up to 500 fps.
The 2007 Burnout reaches version 1.0
On GitHub, literalynn released on November 10, 2026 version 1.0.0 of Burnout Dominator Reversed, followed by eight updates the same day, up to 1.2.2. It is an unofficial port of Criterion's racing game released in 2007. The game's main code, about 51,000 functions, is recompiled into C++ with PS2Recomp, as are the vector units' microprograms; the graphics chip goes through paraLLEl-GS on Vulkan, and sound and I/O are still emulated. The code is under the GPL-3.0 license.
What the port offers
What you need
Caution
The README does not mention AI, but the project's last thirty commits are co-signed by Claude, Anthropic's AI. The launcher is not signed: download it only from the project's GitHub page. To play through emulation, see our PCSX2 tutorial. Other PS2 games already have a native port: God of War and Transformers.
