Shadow of Rome Recompiled

Shadow of Rome Recompiled is an unofficial PC version of Capcom’s 2005 PS2 action game Shadow of Rome, made by translating the game’s own code into a Windows program with PS2Recomp. The graphics card draws the game: up to eight times the PS2’s resolution, 60 frames a second, in 4:3, 16:9 or 21:9, with DirectX 12, DirectX 11 or Vulkan. No game files are included; it reads the player’s own European disc image, or its Russian translation.

A launcher with Play, Options, Graphics, Controls and Mods pages starts the game and holds every setting: a window or full screen, music and effect volumes, smoothed audio when the game slows down, field of view, sharpening, FXAA and a mouse with every key rebindable. ReShade comes with it, off at first, and the European disc’s five languages are picked on the game’s first screen.

It is still being tested. Chapter 1 has been played to the end, but chapters 2, 3 and 4 haven’t been played by hand yet, and there may be graphics glitches or crashes, so the developer suggests saving often. The developer says Claude wrote most of the code under their direction.
