Perfect Dark Port

About

A PSP port of Perfect Dark based on the PC port of the game's decompilation, described as playable from start to finish at a framerate similar to N64. It runs on PSP Phats (32MB), Slims (64MB) and Vita EPSP (64MB), and PSP builds use native GE command lists through PSPSDK sceGu.

How it differs from the original

Adds an in-game Ad Hoc Multiplayer menu for two-player Combat Simulator games between nearby PSPs, and a PSP extended Video menu.

Getting started

Place your matching ROM at the top of the repository, run the PSP build script, copy your ROM into the data folder of the newly created PerfectDark folder, then copy that folder to the GAME directory on the PSP.

Known issues & limitations

• Ad hoc multiplayer is experimental and still needs a two-device gameplay test.
• The native renderer still needs visual and performance validation on PSP and PPSSPP.
• The framerate limit only caps the maximum; it cannot improve rendering performance.
• Desktop window controls, MSAA, three-point filtering, and uncapped tickrate are not available on PSP.
