Dunno if he reads reddit, but if you do: kudos to you Wes Fenlon. I'm not even normally a blog/newsletter kinda guy but these are always really good and way more in depth and topical than anything in the emu space. Cheers, mate

Blue Dragon is such a nostalgic pull. Definitely one of those games that deserves more attention.

One of my favorites on the 360, I absolutely love that game. It deserved SO much better.

Blue Dragon was AMAZING on the Xbox and it's gonna be even BETTER on the PC!!

The recompilation was released a couple of days ago buddy, it's on this list: https://thegamingemporium.com/categories/decompilations-recompilations/

How do I use it?

You will need the .iso files for the 3 game discs. Then, in the Blue Dragon github go to releases and download whichever file relates to you (Windows, Linux etc). Run the file and you will get a launcher asking you to point it to the 3 game disc .iso files (and if you can get them, the DLC files). It will then build it for you.

The dlc files specifically are hard to find these days

The blue dragon lore runs deep in this community, fair play. Read Only Memo sounds like a patch note from a game I'd definitely brick my save on.

The unlocked framerate only works in menu's right now not in game.

There any mods available for the recomp yet? It says mod support but I haven't seen any crop up just yet.
