v0.2.1

Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite Recomp v0.2.1

A native port of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (PSP, EU ULES01213) for Windows and Android,
statically recompiled. No emulator. Maintained by PateeerQ.

Mostly Android fixes. The app offers this update by itself (drawer → Check for updates).

Android

• Easier setup: just the .iso and the EBOOT. The PSP fonts are now taken from the PPSSPP you already have
  installed (PPSSPP for Android keeps them inside its app, where you could not reach them). No more hunting
  for .pgf files.
• Games chosen with the folder picker start again. A disc picked from your own folders (for example
  Emulator/PSP) was refused by Android and the game closed straight away.
• The right EBOOT is picked when a folder holds several: only the Europe version of MHFU (ULES01213) is taken,
  other games' and other regions' are ignored.
• Resolution setting (drawer → Display): 1x to 4x, after a restart.
• Change game files (drawer): pick a new folder; your saves stay.
• Black screen after switching apps: the game now pauses while in the background and draws again when you come back.
• Join and leave notices in the room chat ("… joined the server").
• RetroAchievements now recognise a disc chosen through the folder picker.

Windows

• Join and leave notices in the room chat.

What you need

Your own copy of the game: no game files come with this release.

Android

1. Install PPSSPP (Play Store).
2. In PPSSPP: Settings → Tools → Developer tools → Dump decrypted EBOOT.BIN on game boot, then start
   Monster Hunter Freedom Unite (Europe, ULES01213) once. The dump (about 1.8 MB) is in PSP/SYSTEM/DUMP.
3. Put the .iso and that .bin in one folder, install this APK, and choose the folder when it asks
   ("Use this folder").

Windows

1. Dump the EBOOT the same way with PPSSPP for Windows (Documents\PPSSPP\PSP\SYSTEM\DUMP).
2. Copy the .pgf fonts from PPSSPP's assets\flash0\font into work\root\flash0\font.
3. Open mhfu_launcher.exe, choose the ISO and the EBOOT under Advanced, then DEPART.
