About

PoN PC is a native Windows PC port of the previously mobile-exclusive Rockman EXE Phantom of Network, so the game can be played without an emulator. The original game's assets are still required to run it.

How it differs from the original

The port adds built-in render scaling and key bindings rebound to match the original GBA games' buttons, which can be remapped in-game. It is compatible with the unofficial English fan translation and with the unofficial leaderboard for online ranked virus battle mode.

Getting started

You need the original Japanese i-appli game files, which are not included in the download. For Japanese, unzip the PoN PC JPN release, copy the game's jar and sp files into that folder and run PoN_PC.exe. An optional patcher applies quality-of-life changes and is required for ranked virus battle mode and an added way to obtain a BattleChip needed for 100%. For English, apply the fan translation patch first, use the PoN PC ENG release with the patched files and run PoN_PC_eng.exe.
