About

A work-in-progress port of the Perfect Dark decompilation to modern platforms. The README says the game is in a mostly functional state, with singleplayer and split-screen multiplayer fully working, minor graphics and gameplay issues, and possible occasional crashes.

Getting started

You must already have a Perfect Dark ROM; the README recommends the ntsc-final (US V1.1) version and also lists ntsc-1.0, jpn-final and pal-final, the last two requiring a separate custom-built executable.

Known issues & limitations

  • The game has minor graphics and gameplay issues, and occasional crashes may occur.
  • In practice, the game has issues running faster than about 165 FPS; use VSync or `Video.FramerateLimit` to cap it.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Windows, Linux, macOS, Switch version).

  • A GPU supporting OpenGL 3.0/ES3.0 or above is required.

Features

  • Single-player and split-screen multiplayer are fully working.
  • Widescreen resolution and configurable field of view are supported.
  • 60 FPS support includes fixes for some framerate-related issues.
  • Basic mod support can load a few custom levels.
  • Transfer Pak functionality can be emulated to unlock some cheats automatically.
  • Experimental high-framerate support can run up to 240 FPS.

How to install

  1. Download an automatic build for a supported platform.
  2. Run the `pd.x86_64` executable.
  3. On Switch, copy the folder for your chosen region into `/switch` on the SD card, then put the ROM in its `data` folder.

Controls

  • Controls can be rebound in `pd.ini`.
  • Xbox-style bindings are implemented.
  • The mouse only controls player 1.

Summarised from the project's README.

Platforms
