MHForever 0.1.0

MHForever 0.1.0 (first public release)

An unofficial Monster Hunter recompilation project. Play Monster Hunter Freedom Unite natively on your PC: no emulator, a launcher that sets everything up from your own disc image, and gamepad support.

Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Capcom or Sony. This download contains no game content: you need your own legitimate copy of the game.

What you need

• Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
• A plain (uncompressed) .iso of your own copy of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, European release (disc ID ULES01213, v1.01). CSO/ZSO images are not supported.
• A controller is optional (tested with a PS5 DualSense); keyboard defaults are included.

How to play

1. Download MHForever-0.1.0-windows-x64.zip and unzip it anywhere you can write to.
2. Open launcher.exe and add your .iso. The launcher checks your copy and prepares what it needs from it.
3. Press Play.

Status

This is an early release. Freedom Unite is playable at 30 fps, as on the original console. 60 fps and online multiplayer are being worked on. Expect rough edges; bug reports are welcome as issues (never attach game files or saves).

Good to know

• The programs are not digitally signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you: choose More info, then Run anyway.
• Only the European release is supported for now. Other regions and games of the series are planned.
• Your saves are stored in the memstick folder next to launcher.exe.
