# Initial D Arcade Stage 3: experimental NAOMI 2 static recompilation

> This is an experimental static recompilation of Initial D Arcade Stage 3 for NAOMI 2, disc GDS-0033, aimed at 64-bit Windows. The reviewed public demo is v2489. Its zip SHA-256 is 6AF00678196E9E54AC1C625866D08D2CD9855D0F43866B5DE1EDCBD7DCE0EF93. The launcher takes gds-0033.chd and 317-0384-com.pic, checks them, and extracts what the recompilation needs. The executable is BIOS-free and renders submitted ELAN/PVR work with Vulkan. The default mode is 60 Hz. First-run extraction needs about 1.3 GB of temporary space.
