About this project

An experimental native port built with PS2Recomp: the game's MIPS code is translated to C++ on your machine and linked to a runtime for the PS2 services it uses, drawn with SDL3 GPU or a software renderer. The US release boots, loads saves and reaches field gameplay with sound from the game's own drivers; steady playable performance and the rest of the game are still in progress, and the PAL version is incomplete.

What you need

Your own US disc image (SLUS-21207), on Windows, macOS or Linux with about 8 GB free.
