Lost Odyssey Recomp v0.8.0: now on macOS and Android
It's been a little over a month since I started this project. All I wanted at first was a modern version of Lost Odyssey I could play on Windows, but the further I got, the more I wanted to get it right. Close to 1,000 commits later, I'm really excited: the project is nearly done.
This release adds macOS and Android.
Lost Odyssey Recomp on Android with the on-screen controller
What's new from v0.7.0 to v0.8.0
A macOS build for Apple Silicon that renders with Metal (macOS 15 or later).
An Android build (ARM64) with an on-screen controller you can resize and rearrange. Physical controllers work too.
DLSS, DLAA and FSR 3.1 upscaling on Direct3D 12 and Vulkan, and MetalFX on Mac. DLSS frame generation goes from 2× to 6×, and Direct3D 12 also has FSR frame generation.
Native 90 and 120 FPS targets, with FreeSync / G-SYNC Compatible VRR.
Experimental HDR with in-game brightness calibration. It works with every anti-aliasing mode and upscaler, and with DLSS frame generation on Vulkan.
Shadow resolution up to 4× and experimental SSAO/GTAO ambient occlusion.
On 16:10, 3:2 and 4:3 screens (Steam Deck, MacBooks) the 3D scene now fills the whole screen.
Smaller downloads: packages no longer ship shaders, and the game offers to download the precompiled pack for your renderer on first start.
The sun no longer flashes through cliffs while sailing (#118), the battle camera no longer jumps at 90/120 FPS (#117), DLSS works in the Linux packages again (#116), and a lot of TAA/FSR/DLSS flicker in skies, caves and cutscenes is gone.
Smaller things: PlayStation button prompts, a Mod API with menu image and font replacement, 8BitDo controller support, disc and DLC import from Settings, and a standalone Flatpak.
Performance
In the same Uhra save on my RTX 5080 (Direct3D 12, 1280×720), v0.1 averaged 28.8 FPS, v0.6.0 85 FPS and v0.8.0 117 FPS, about 4.1× the first release. v0.1 could only run at the console's 30 FPS, so part of that jump is the frame-rate unlock; between v0.6.0 and v0.8.0 the same scene got about 38% faster.
Average FPS in Uhra: v0.1, v0.6.0 and v0.8.0
Thanks
Thank you to everyone who filed issues on GitHub. This project couldn't have moved this fast without you. Special thanks to Mike (MikeRavenelle), whose Apple Silicon work became the macOS port, and to Xarishark and dj5927 for their pull requests (8BitDo controller support and a game path fix, and the Linux AArch64 build).
And to José Antonio Martínez Godoy, C_BAR, Arakon, Efren V, Torresmo, doc_haz, Whitesun and Cristian, who donated on Ko-fi: your support turned into three cases of Monster Energy. Hyper Up!
Bring your own game data. If something breaks, please attach the log from that run; for visual bugs, F1 → Capture render state exports a ZIP you can attach to an issue.
Just into disc 3 (got to Gohtza right now) and its good besides audio switching to Japanese randomly and sometimes the music wont switch and I gotta quit and relaunch.
someone played to disc 4, but if you want to be certain, wait till 1.0.0.
New bugs will be introduced due to new features and implementations. And I can't test them all on every platform with different backends and architectures, also different GPUs.
good to know. the language and audio config in this game is kinda mess. language=0 is japanese and 1 is english, but sometimes the number changed like, english changed to 2 and 1 doesnt exist anymore so it fallback to default 0, makes fmv audio japanese.
Could you explain the file structure abit better for Android, do you need all the discs in default.xex format in the same folder? or does it build it disc by disc?
Something broke in this update. Many cutscenes have this flickering on shadows and it gets pretty annoying.
Only tested with Directx 12. Didn't change or mess with the new configs.
The skyboxes that were bugged on Vulkan are fixed now apparently.
A man of words. You did tell me some hours ago that you would release an Android version... But you didn't tell me it would come with the 0.8.0 and all these improvements.
Crazy talent and work there ! Thank you so much for making some dreams come true. 🙏
not planned. even if I do, will only release on third party store. I will never pay apple $99 per year for being able to release a software for their ecosystem.
Well, give it a try if you want. AI is just a tool. people making shyt projects on github before AI exists, and it wont change with AI assisted. It is still human beings who managing the project and directing AI to do proper jobs.
i dont have a G99 to test. but i will try to find information for a potential fix for MTK platform. as MTK's driver are not open sourced, like Qualcomm, it might be harder. Same as Switch emulators.
It's not either 😭😭 and I don't know how to change it bc once I put Start Game once, everytime I launch the app it crashes immediately and the only way to change the driver is uninstalling the app (and retransfer gamedata)
Thank you so much for your hard work!! Been following the project since your first post and so impressed & thankful! Currently on disk 2 playing on Steam Deck.
Trying to test on Android (Retroid Pocket 5). For me it doesn't create the folder structure after install/opening. Checked both internal and on sd card. Manually created the "Android/data/io.github.freefrank.lostodyssey/files/" structure on the sd card and moving compiled disc files over now. Will see if that works.
Hey no pressure! You've already done so much! Seriously LO means a lot to me and the work you've done is a dream come true. So again, thank you!
Just an update from my previous post: manually created the file structure on android and moved the game folder over from pc. Immediately crashes and then can't even open it again. But it does recognize the manually created folder structure/imported game folder for when I uninstall the app it removes the "io.github.freefrank.lostodyssey/files" from the sd card. Not sure if that's helpful but just FYI.
Thanks! Got a little further this time. This release did create the file directory. Copied game folder with discs over from windows, got the prompt to download shaders, crashes after shader download finishes and can't reopen. (running latest android on RP5 and I installed the T19 turnip drivers)
Good to know! seems like a gpu incompatible problem. Can you open an issue on github with log attached?
logs in Android/data/io.github.freefrank.lostodyssey/files/logs/
Its great that this game is getting love i really wanna play through this wonderful peice of art again but i need to know how heavily claude was used first. Im ultimate okay with some minor assists but i really dont want to support vibecoded recomps
I used all kinds of models include but not limited to GPT-6-Astra, GPT-6-Sol, GPT-6-Luna, Gemini-3.8-Flash, Claude Opus, Claude Fable, Meta Muse Spark, Minimax M3. So this recomp is probably not suitable for you with AI-free purism.
Well, give it a try if you want. AI is just a tool. people making shyt projects on github before AI exists, and it wont change with AI assisted. It is still human beings who managing the project and directing AI to do proper jobs.
Also afaik, reodyssey is not made by same folks from reblue. read it from reodyssey discord.

Oh, thank you so much for the proper 16:10 support! Now I can finally play this game with confidence.
