What you need: Your own copy of The Godfather: The Don's Edition for the PlayStation 3, the European release (BLES00043), as an `.iso` or a dumped game folder holding `PS3_GAME`. Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a Direct3D 12 graphics card, about 10 GB of free space and 16 GB of RAM. Setup installs Python and the Visual Studio C++ build tools if they are missing; RPCS3 is needed only if the game's executable is still encrypted.

Godfather Reborn is an unofficial native Windows port of The Godfather: The Don's Edition, the 2007 PlayStation 3 release of EA's open-world crime game. The game's PowerPC and SPU code is statically recompiled to x86-64 with ps3recomp and drawn through a Direct3D 12 renderer, so it runs as a normal Windows program rather than under an emulator. The download holds only the port's own code and setup: the game is regenerated and compiled on the player's PC from their own disc. It comes from the same developer as inFAMOUS Reborn.

As well as a frame rate unlocked well beyond the original 30 fps, it adds resolution scaling, sharper shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom, colour grading and wet streets when it rains, full keyboard and mouse controls with PC button prompts, Xbox controller support, real cutscene skipping and twelve languages. On top of the game it adds two-player co-op over the network, an inventory and shops inside the city's businesses, a working tailor, conversations with passers-by using the game's own voice lines, ragdoll physics and new animations. Each of these additions can be turned off in the launcher.

Updates from Setup or the update shortcut download and rebuild only what changed, keeping saves and settings.

## How to set it up

1. Download the Windows setup and run it (choose **More info > Run anyway** if Windows warns you).
2. Pick your game: the `.iso`, or the dumped folder that holds `PS3_GAME`. Setup checks it is the supported European release.
3. Press **Install**. Setup installs any missing build tools, regenerates the game's code from your disc and compiles it on your PC, which takes a while the first time, then adds shortcuts.
4. Start **The Godfather** from its shortcut. The launcher sets display, graphics, controls, language and mods before you press **Play**; in the game, **F11** switches between fullscreen and a window. For co-op, one player hosts from the pause menu's Co-op tab and the other joins by address over UDP port 27960.
