Freedom Unbound — Alpha 0.1.5

Windows x64 · v0.1.5-alpha

A Windows native recompilation of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, built on PortableKit. You need your own supported USA copy of the game; game files and saves are not included.

What's new

• Fill aspect ratio is now available: widescreen, 16:10 and resized windows show a wider 3D view instead of falling back to Original.
• F7 opens the Equipment Wishlist panel while the Equipment Wishlist mod is enabled, with crafted-item notices. F9 from that panel switches to the mod manager.
• F10 toggles an installed texture pack and does nothing if none is installed. When the Wishlist mod is off, F7 is no longer reserved. It stays the Extra right default, but you can rebind it. When no texture pack is installed, F10 is free for your own bindings.
• Texture packs prepare textures already seen in a quest area or the village/lobby before they are first drawn.
• The Game data label and most save error messages on the Saves screen follow the launcher language, including Brazilian Portuguese.
• Installing a mod version that is already installed now says so. Installing an older version asks before replacing the newer one (No is selected first). This applies to dropped ZIPs and to downloads.
• The launcher, window title and logs use the Freedom Unbound name.
• Brazilian Portuguese accented letters now match the game's font in the pt-BR mod 0.2.3.

Freedom Unbound keys

Key	Action
Esc (or L3+R3 on a gamepad)	Open the in-game menu. Always reserved.
F3	Toggle performance information. Always reserved.
F7 / RT	Equipment Wishlist (while that mod is on)
F9	Open the in-game mod manager. Always reserved.
F10	Toggle an installed texture pack; does nothing and is free for your own bindings if none is installed.
F12	Take a screenshot. Always reserved.

The full default keyboard, mouse and gamepad bindings are listed in the README.

Known issues

• Experimental interpolation can distort the background inside the hunter's house. Use 30 FPS if this happens.
• HD textures can still pop in on first visits; the warmup currently prepares 2 of the 33 known village textures in time.
• Brief loading hitches may occur.
• The Gathering Map options and the Equipment Wishlist close hint are shown in English only.
• LAN connections and player movement are working; full multiplayer quest completion, rewards and save/reload validation remain pending.
• Internet play, cross-emulator compatibility, broader hardware coverage and a complete campaign playthrough are unverified.

Mods

No mods ship with 0.1.5. The download contains no texture packs, text mods or gameplay mods; every mod is a separate, optional download through the launcher or Freedom Unbound Mods.

About mods right now: under the current approach, mods only switch on features already built into Freedom Unbound, or add data. Texture packs and text mods fully work, and anyone can make them. Mods can't add new features or game logic yet. A plugin system that lets mods add their own features is coming soon.

Some mods change saved progress. Shared Guild Progression, for example, writes its changes into your save, so turning the mod off later won't undo progress already saved.

Requirements

Windows x64, a Vulkan-capable GPU and driver, an AVX-capable CPU, the Microsoft Visual C++ x64 runtime, and A LEGALLY OBTAINED DUMP of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite — USA version (ULUS10391), in ISO format. You must supply your own dump; game files are not included.

Install

1. Download the Windows x64 ZIP under Assets below, rather than GitHub's automatic Source code download.
2. Extract the complete ZIP into a writable folder.
3. Keep all extracted files together and run FreedomUnbound.exe.
4. Follow first-run setup and select your supported USA ISO.
5. Adjust your settings, then choose Play. If you already have a hunter, you can use its Load button.

Do not run the game from inside the ZIP or copy only the launcher executable. Start-Freedom-Unbound.cmd is available as a fallback.

Update

Already installed? You can update directly through the launcher.

To update manually:

1. Close Freedom Unbound.
2. Extract the complete 0.1.5 ZIP into a new, empty folder. Don't extract it over the old version.
3. Run FreedomUnbound.exe from the new folder.
4. Once 0.1.5 runs, you can delete the old folder.

Your saves, settings and installed mods are kept in your user data folder, not in the program folder, so they carry over. Keep a separate copy of your save before updating.

Mod downloads and organization

• Download mods directly from the launcher, with progress, cancellation, exact
  size/SHA-256 verification and the normal install review.
• The built-in index is named Freedom Unbound Official Mod Page.
• Add public GitHub indexes; saved sources appear in separate expandable groups.
  Click a heading to show or hide its mods. Each source has its own refresh,
  error handling and download cache; custom sources can be removed.
• Installed versions are shown. New mods remain off until enabled; replacing an
  installed version keeps its enabled state. ZIP drag-and-drop still works.
• Move up/down actions have been removed from the installed mod list.

In-game mod controls

• F9 opens the built-in in-game mod manager. Supported gameplay mods can be
  toggled live; restart-only packs and save-affecting mods are identified.
• Gameplay keeps running while the panel is open, with gameplay input captured
  while navigating it. Close with F9, Esc or the controller Back button.
• Gathering Map includes independent gathering/mining/bug/carving options.
• F10 switches the installed Freedom Unbound HD texture pack off/on during
  gameplay and saves that choice. The mod pack itself is a separate download.
• Includes the current native support for buff indicators, equipment material
  pinning, map markers, controller prompts, return timers and the other supported
  optional mods. These providers do not enable or bundle the mod ZIPs.

Network and launcher

• Pre-game LAN Host/Join controls and network status are available in Settings.
  Join the same Online Gathering Hall number on every participating PC.
• Keeps the rotatable equipped-hunter previews, HD preview materials, equipment
  icons/colors, per-hunter loading, native Windows dialogs and foreground fixes.
• Keeps the progression-testing cheats, including progression-aware crafting,
  owned-decoration lists and optional L+R quest completion.

Setup and current limits

Extract the complete Windows x64 ZIP and run FreedomUnbound.exe. You need a
Vulkan-capable graphics driver, an AVX-capable CPU, the Microsoft Visual C++ x64
runtime and your own supported USA PSP game image (ULUS10391). Keep all adjacent
DLLs, overlay libraries and startup scripts together.

Gameplay is 30 FPS. Higher presentation rates use experimental interpolation;
the hunter-house background issue remains known. Full campaign, all weapons and
monsters, broad PC compatibility, and internet/cross-emulator multiplayer are
not established. LAN Hall visibility/movement and transport checks have passed;
completed multiplayer quests, rewards and save/reload are still pending in the
recorded LAN validation. See LAN_MULTIPLAYER.md and the feature guides.

This package contains no game image, extracted original executable, personal
saves, installed mod packs or game-derived preview caches. The standalone save
editor is not included.

AI-use disclosure

Freedom Unbound uses AI-assisted workflows for development, technical research,
debugging, testing support, documentation and some original project artwork.
AI-assisted work can contain errors. The project's recorded tests and known
limitations describe what has actually been checked; AI assistance does not
establish complete gameplay compatibility or an absence of bugs.
