Overview
Vandal Hearts PC Port is a native port of Vandal Hearts for Windows and Linux. It is built on matching decompilations that rebuild the original US and Japanese executables byte for byte, with the PlayStation graphics, sound, CD and video hardware replaced by portable code. One executable runs the USA, Asia and Japan releases.
The faithful game is the default. Options add an accurate software renderer with supersampling, an enemy threat overlay, an in-game options and save manager, fast forward, an optional Tactical Mode rebalance, community language packs and optional HD packs for backgrounds and movies, offered as separate downloads.
The full game has been played through on Windows and Linux. The download contains no game data. It needs Vandal Hearts, dumped from your own disc.
