Performous (known as UltraStar-NG until version 0.3.0) is a similar game written in . Performous is currently available for Linux as binary packages, but none are provided for Windows, OS X or other systems at this time. Performous features better pitch detection with fast fourier transform than UltraStar and UltraStar Deluxe which use autocorrelation. Multiple simultaneous tones can be detected and separated by the FFT post-processing algorithm, but the game currently only uses this information in the practice screen, not in the singing screen. Performous does not attempt to clone SingStar but rather has unique features such as scrolling notes and precise singing pitch display as a wave drawn on screen. These allow the player to sing without interruptions and to easily correct his singing pitch to hit the notes precisely. Performous uses cross-platform multimedia framework, and the graphics rendering is based on OpenGL for high performance even on slower machines, with full effects (UltraStar-NG versions — 0.2.1 and older — do not require 3D acceleration). Various background video formats are supported using ffmpeg.
