What you need: Your own dump of the Asian PS4 release (CUSA36381) with the 1.04 update merged in, or the Hong Kong 1.05 package: a folder with `eboot.bin`, `sce_module`, `sce_sys` and the `.CPK` files (about 7 GB). 64-bit Windows 10 (1903 or later) or 11, or Linux, and a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card with sparse buffers.

Unicorn Overlord PC is a native Windows and Linux port of the PlayStation 4 version of Unicorn Overlord. It is neither an emulator nor a decompilation: the PS4 and a PC share the x86-64 processor, so the game's own executable from the player's dump is prepared, patched in a few places and run directly on the PC's CPU, while the project supplies about 700 of the PS4's system functions and uses the shadPS4 video core to turn the console's graphics into Vulkan.

Only the Asian release (CUSA36381) with the 1.04 update is supported, in Japanese or Chinese, or in English with the fan English patch. The prologue, the first chapter and its first battle have been played, saving and loading work, and the project calls itself a work in progress that hasn't been played to the end.

The game's options gain a PC section for display mode, VSync, render resolution, FSR 1 upscaling, sharpening, button icons and the stick dead zone, and an overlay menu adds Anime4K line-art sharpening and a performance display. No game files are included, and the project is not affiliated with Sony, Atlus, Sega or Vanillaware.

## How to set it up

1. Download the Windows zip or the Linux AppImage.
2. On Windows, extract the zip into a folder of its own and run `Unicorn Overlord.exe`. On Linux, make the AppImage executable (`chmod +x`) and run it.
3. On the first start, choose your dump's folder. The launcher checks the title and version and installs it next to the program.
4. Change the display, resolution and upscaling in the PC section of the game's own Options, or press Insert in game for the overlay menu. Resolution changes need a restart.
