First milestone of rac1-native: Ratchet & Clank (PS2, NTSC-U SCUS-97199) is playable on Linux from the start up to Umbris (included).

What works

  • The planets: Veldin, Novalis, Aridia, Kerwan, Eudora, Rilgar, Blarg's station (Nebula G34) and Umbris have been played through, apart from a few small bugs and glitches.
  • The game's own flow: boot, intro movie, title screen, menus, saves and loads on a virtual memory card, the ship's planet menu, and the flight between planets.
  • Rendering: the native OpenGL renderer, with widescreen, high resolutions, full-detail textures and adjustable level of detail.
  • Options: Graphics, Controls (keyboard, mouse and gamepads, remappable) and Advanced (optional enhancements such as R&C 3 movement and modern aiming, off by default).
  • New Game modes: Original, Modern and Experimental. Experimental turns on the optional modern lighting, which is still experimental.
  • Cutscene subtitles, in every language on the disc.

Known limits

  • Batalia and the planets after it load and may be partly playable, but they are only partly ported: expect missing effects or sections that can't be finished.
  • Linux x86-64 only. Windows is planned (see docs/platforms.md).
  • Only the North American disc is supported. PAL support is in progress.
  • Saves work, but their format and location may still change.

How to play

This release is source only: there is no prebuilt binary. You need your own copy of the game as an ISO image of the North American disc.

git clone https://github.com/daino-selvatico/rac1-native-game.git
cd rac1-native-game
./setup.sh --iso /path/to/your/ratchet-and-clank.iso

The setup checks your system and your disc, generates the game's code and data from your disc, builds the game and starts it. See docs/setup.md.

No game code or assets are included in this repository: everything derived from the game is generated on your machine from your own disc.
