## What it is
An unofficial native recompilation of the Xbox 360 version of Skate 3 that runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Since v2.0.0 it uses a native Direct3D 12/Vulkan renderer instead of GPU emulation, requiring users to supply their own legally obtained game ISO.

## Use cases
- play Skate 3 natively on PC without an Xbox 360 emulator
- run Skate 3 on Linux or macOS
- get higher frame rates and lower GPU power draw than emulated rendering
- play Skate 3 on Apple Silicon Macs
- extract game files from a legally owned Skate 3 ISO

## When to choose
- you legally own Skate 3 for Xbox 360 and want to play it on PC
- you want better performance than Xbox 360 emulation
- you're on Apple Silicon where the uplift is largest

## When to avoid
- you don't own a legal copy of Skate 3 (no game files are included)
- you need a fully polished, bug-free playthrough (native renderer is early and untested end-to-end)
- you need a permissively licensed project (no license is provided)
