PowerfulMoon

PowerfulMoon

PowerfulMoon is an independent customized fork of Power Moon Recomp, now following Super Odyssey PC Recomp upstream. It is maintained by Vĩnh An Project / yngvifreyr1810 with implementation assistance from OpenAI Codex.

Upstream provides the native game runtime, renderer, frame interpolation engine, and ultrawide support. PowerfulMoon adds:

• Switch 2 Pro Controller motion controls, vibration, and persistent controller profiles.
• A VRR output selection fix and host VSync controls.
• An integrated full Windows installer and standalone app distribution.

Downloads & Installation

You must supply extracted files from your own legally obtained copy of Super Mario Odyssey 1.0.0. No game files, keys, ROMs, or Nintendo assets are provided.

Download the latest release from Releases:

Package	Recommended For	Details
Installer (EXE)	Most users	Guided setup, Start menu integration, and upgrade backups.
Portable ZIP	Manual installation	Extract to a writable folder and run PowerfulMoon.exe.

Quick Start

1. Run Setup or extract the portable ZIP to a writable directory on Windows 11.
2. Launch PowerfulMoon.exe.
3. Follow the setup page to import your extracted Super Mario Odyssey 1.0.0 game files. First-time game-code compilation takes a few minutes.

The bundled controller bridge starts when needed. Its first setup may request permission to install the signed USB/IP driver and register the bridge for Windows startup. The game itself does not start automatically.

Upgrading

To update an existing Power Moon or PowerfulMoon installation:

1. Save and close the game.
2. Run the latest Setup and select your existing game directory. For a manual update, back up that folder before extracting the portable ZIP into it.
3. Launch PowerfulMoon.exe.

Selecting your existing folder preserves game saves, mods, user files, and controller settings (powermoon.ini / powermoon.ini.controller.ini). Setup backs up replaced program files and settings snapshots to powerfulmoon-backups/; manual ZIP extraction does not. Migrating to the renamed EXE triggers a one-time game-code cache rebuild.

Configuration

Video Settings (F1 > Video)

• Frame interpolation: Generates intermediate frames. Game logic remains at 60 Hz while presentation renders up to 120 fps.
• Interpolation output: Select 120 fps (VRR) if your high-refresh display temporarily reports at 60 Hz. Requires a supported ~120 Hz or faster display mode; actual output depends on performance.
• VSync: Choose Auto, On, or Off. Game restart required after modifying VSync.

Controller Options (F1 > Controls)

• Reconnect controllers by pressing any button; hold SYNC for initial pairing.
• Configure game bindings, motion controls, and vibration strength. Use Test vibration (2 seconds) to test feedback.
• GL/GR back buttons and gyro calibration are managed through ProCon2Bridge's tray menu. Direct per-band haptics remain experimental; console-identical HD Rumble 2 is not verified.
