About

An unofficial PC recompilation project for the PlayStation versions of Vigilante 8 and Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense, described as a two-in-one game. The README links work-in-progress test footage and shows screenshots of the location select, Route 66 with enhanced textures, and custom car paint. Automated test runs cover startup, selectors, gameplay entry, weapons, AI, movies, split-screen and result flow.

How it differs from the original

Screenshots in the README show enhanced textures and custom paint colours on vehicles.

Getting started

Development requires the .NET 10 SDK, Python 3 and legally obtained game inputs. Local source is generated from the retail binaries before the host can be built, and that generated source is not stored in Git. The release omits disc images and the complete base-game installation, so the base-game data must come from your own copy.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (PlayStation version).

You need base-game data from your own copy; the release does not include disc images or the complete base-game installation.

Additional notes
