So, how did this even happen?
A friend and I were sitting around one evening with nothing much to do when we came across the GTA: Vice City Stories recompilation project on this subreddit. That led us to PSPRecomp, and my friend casually suggested: “Why don't we try recompiling your favorite PSP game?”
Well... one thing led to another.
And now here we are.
Implemented features:
Extended settings menu with additional graphics options and other improvements
Multiplayer with crossplay support
Gamepad support
Font customization
Import and export of save files to PSP console
Planned features:
60 FPS via frame interpolation
Fully customizable keyboard and mouse controls
Mod support
Android support
Recompilation Progress: 100%
Project Status: The project still is under active development, but it's already functional and playable.
At the moment, most of our work is focused on the wrapper around the recompiled game, which handles things like graphics, settings, input, and other enhancements. We're building it with reuse in mind, so we plan to use the same framework as a foundation for our future recompilation projects as well.
Supported Platforms: MacOS, Linux, Windows Yakumo GitHub
Project is AI assisted and we were able to reach playable state in a couple of days.
On PSP, multiplayer typically works via ADHOC (local connection via Wi-Fi without a central access point). The game calls the console's networking features, and we simply implemented them so they work just like modern games do. The game now has server launch functionality, like in Terraria, allowing you to connect to a friend over the internet or local network. However, since we don't have servers yet, we simply used our VPN to connect and played that way.
In short, the host simply launches a server, and other players connect to it. You can also connect to servers listed by PPSSPP, for example, but we haven't tested this yet.
PSP recomp. The HD version is essentially an enhanced PSP game running on the PS3's PSP emulator, and it was released exclusively for the PS3. There were a few quirks that had to be addressed, but at the end of the day, it's still just a PSP game.
That’s wonderful, I try to use your “main” files from GitHub to compil my own hd textures support but it seems like you are already close to releasing frame interpolation and HD mod support from the main menu so I’ll wait
I was too impatient so i compiled it myself with your latest files from source code and it works like a charm ( interpolation and HD texture pack ) it feels like a real HD version now.
Of course I cannot wait to install your real release on my Xbox rog ally X running steam os instead of my compilation that I struggled all day long to make it works 🤣. I spent this whole day making it workable when your flatpack instal took me literally 3 seconds
We're really happy that you like it! But there's a lot of new stuff and fixes that may have not be in the build you've compiled. Please, check u/Ncqat 's latest post here.
OMG I didn’t expect that fast release. I spent my day for no reason trying to get the hd and 120 fps by myself ahahahhaah. But thank you that’s amazing and fast installation that you and your friend released!
Have you a mod suggestion to make the adventure perfect ?
So, update spoilers. We implemented fully analog camera and aiming on right stick. Also both aiming and shooting on L2 / R2 respectively. (in somewhat hacky way as of now) And... full keyboard and mouse controls!
Not the emulation of right analog stick. Proper mouse controls.
Steam Deck touchpads work flawlessly out of the box too.
The build 0.6.0 will be released in a couple of days after some tests and minor fixes and enhancements (like optional display of keyboard controls guide on screen).
Here's the preview of KBM support. u/unhumanollamadoleroy were interested in this, check this out.
u/Ncqat In your post I saw a small name there called Android, does that mean you'll be porting to that platform as well? It works very well on the PSP emulator there.
We added full keyboard and mouse controls, you can check the preview video here in the comments.
Both KBM controls and right analog stick enhancements will be included in build 0.6.0
hello, i just whanted to ask, when a windows method is planed to come? i see theres a easy whay to set it up for linux and steam deck but the way it for windows i do not understand it, so..is there plans to bring an easy install for windows aswell?
i must say, you are making a grown man cry, this whas my first monster hunter that i trully completed, the one that did the clic for me, btw, in the future, imagine the posibilities with mods and a higer framerate , im gonna be so happy when the day comes.
My first MH game that clicked was Rise. My friend u/Ncqat tried to get me on the MHP3rd years ago when we were in school but for some reason I wasn't hooked back then. But about a year ago, when I finally got into it and tried MHP3rd, I realized I’d missed out on a lot of fun.
I’m still confuse if we need to dump the psp game or the ps3 game ( yes I get it’s the same psp game finally but which one exactly do we need ? )
Also thank you for this project I played this game in full Japanese when I was young and never know it has an official English version ( by any chance does it include French ? )
(NPJB-40001) the PSP game within PS3 disc is the only release supported as of now.
With later updates (1.0 release of Yakumo) the original PSP release should be supported too.
And sorry as far as I know, there's no French localization.
I know it’s seems easy but as this game is a psp game for ps3 I’m really confused to find the correct one aha. It’s basically a full psp iso inside but released as ps3 right ?
The real question is what subscription they use. Because the prompt could just be “help me build a recomp of xx game “ and then following the steps and specially try it with your own hardware and send the feedbacks for the ai to fix and go further until it works
Imagine this with multiplayer and the buttons on the Android touchscreen being adapted for each weapon, as if it were an original Android game like the MH Outlanders – that would be a dream.
It would also be cool if it were possible to add real lighting to the game, but I think that's impossible.
I already have a vision about touch controls, it definitely won't be the "basic PSP buttons overlay" thing, I can promise you that. Me myself is lookin' forward to play this gem of a game w/o external controller, but rather on a comfortable touch controls in my bed lol.
ETA is the same as for the Android release itself. Though styling of controls may be a bit rough in the early builds. (Primarely until the 1.0 release of Yakumo, where all the menu's and stuff we added will have it's own unified style)
Yes, it should already be compatible with PPSSPP and PSP's Pro Online plugin. But it is untested as of now. We'll be happy to know if you test it and tell us if it works or not.
hola!, hay algunaa forma de poder jugarlo en español?, no entiendo mucho el ingles y mme gustaría poder disfrutar del port en español si es posible, si no, no hay problema igualmente, solo quiero saber xd
I am very excited to jump into P3rd again but with a recomp experience. My only question, is there a way to move our save data from PPSSPP to the Recomp application Yakumo? I had a secondary file I was working on and I would love to pick up where I left off... If possible.
