About this project

The project translates the game’s PowerPC code and SPU programs ahead of time, with a fallback SPU interpreter. RSX graphics become Direct3D 11; the shared Project Glintburn runtime replaces system services while some complex firmware routines come from the player’s own files.

Documented PC options include resolution, 50–200% render scale, frame-rate caps, raw-mouse camera input, remappable keys and PC SETTINGS inside the original SYSTEM menu. Higher FPS reports belong to the maintainer, not a site benchmark.

Known limitations
