Project Cuga 0.1.8 — Android FUC Preview

This FUComplete preview adds HUD and minimap scaling and fixes item loadout switching. Back up your save before updating. Earlier builds are still available on the Releases page.

What’s new

• HUD and minimap scaling. Adjust them independently under QOL → Display. Changes apply during a quest without restarting.
• Item loadout and restock fixes. Switching loadouts now returns unused items to the box and withdraws items for the selected kit. If the box can’t fit the returned items, the switch leaves your inventory unchanged. Check your pouch before departing, especially if the box is short on supplies.

Known issues

• Changing weapons or armor in an online Gathering Hall is experimental. A crash was reported after repeated equipment changes in a public lobby. For online play, change your equipment before joining.
• At 150% map size, the item panel can cover part of the minimap on both Windows and Android. Lower the map size if this happens.

Installation

• Windows: Extract the entire Windows x64 ZIP and run Cuga.exe. If updating, back up and keep your existing data and game folders.
• Android: Install the ARM64 APK on Android 10 or newer with Vulkan 1.1 support. If you already have a compatible Cuga installation, back up or export your saves, then install the APK as an update over the existing app.

Both downloads require your own compatible MHP2G (ULJM05500) / FUComplete game files and FUCDAT support files. This update is for the FUComplete build. The experimental US Windows build is available separately.

Use the platform download under Assets. GitHub’s automatic source archives reflect the previously published source snapshot.

Project Cuga 0.1.4 — Android FUC

Early release: these Windows and Android updates have not been extensively tested. Back up your saves before updating.

Changes

• Corrected FUC runtime hooks that prevented features such as hold-to-gather from working.
• Added HD texture pack compatibility, including PNG and Basis KTX2 textures, Zstandard compression, legacy quick hashes and UTF-8 BOM texture configuration files.
• Fixed frame interpolation camera estimation that could make scenery and characters jump or flicker at high frame rates, including while sprinting in the village or farm.

Requires your own compatible MHP2G ULJM05500/FUComplete game files and FUCDAT support files. Game files and texture packs are not included. These downloads use the FUC profile; they do not update the separate experimental US build. US/EU executables are not supported by these packages.

Loadouts are not yet fully functional. Check your item pouch manually and keep save backups.

Android installation

Requires Android 10 or newer, an ARM64 device and Vulkan 1.1 support.

1. Download the APK from Assets below and allow installation when Android prompts.
2. For an existing compatible Cuga installation, install as an update. Do not uninstall first: uninstalling can remove app data. Back up or export saves before updating.
3. Launch Project Cuga and follow setup using your own compatible game files and required FUCDAT support files.

For HD textures, unzip the pack first. Choose Video → Import texture pack, select the folder containing textures.ini through Android's folder picker, then choose Copy into Project Cuga's data folder. For the base Kaneda pack, select MAIN. Keep several GB of free space available during import. A missing image falls back to the original game texture.

Notes

Use QOL → Quests for Key Quest Stars and the capture skull; restart after changing quest stars to refresh cached lists. Play on one device at a time when using cloud saves and let your provider finish syncing before switching.

Report issues with the release version, device/OS, graphics settings and steps to reproduce. Remove personal information from logs before sharing.

Project Cuga 0.1.4 — Windows FUC

Early release: these Windows and Android updates have not been extensively tested. Back up your saves before updating.

Changes

• Corrected FUC runtime hooks that prevented features such as hold-to-gather from working.
• Added HD texture pack compatibility, including PNG and Basis KTX2 textures, Zstandard compression, legacy quick hashes and UTF-8 BOM texture configuration files.
• Fixed frame interpolation camera estimation that could make scenery and characters jump or flicker at high frame rates, including while sprinting in the village or farm.

Requires your own compatible MHP2G ULJM05500/FUComplete game files and FUCDAT support files. Game files and texture packs are not included. These downloads use the FUC profile; they do not update the separate experimental US build. US/EU executables are not supported by these packages.

(HEAVILY UNTESTED) Project Cuga — US Windows v0.1.0-us-test.1

HEAVILY UNTESTED compared with the FUComplete/FUC build. This is an early US compatibility experiment, not a stable or recommended replacement for the FUC download. Only limited offline testing on one Windows PC has been performed. Expect bugs, crashes, compatibility problems and possible save problems. Back up your saves and test with a copy in a separate installation.

Choose the matching version

• US MHFU: this download requires your own ULUS10391 version 1.01 ISO. The installer validates the exact tested US BOOT.BIN. Japanese/FUC and EU ISOs are not accepted by this separate US build.
• Japanese/FUComplete: use the more extensively tested FUC download. It remains experimental, but has had substantially more testing than this US build.
• EU: executable compatibility is unverified. No US Android package is included.

Download and run

1. Download Project-Cuga-0.1.0-us-test.1-Windows-x64-portable.zip from Assets below.
2. Extract the entire ZIP into a writable local folder, separate from your FUC installation.
3. Run Cuga.exe, select your own US ISO and complete setup. The unmodified US version needs no FUCDAT.
4. Start a character, or import a copy of your save through System. Keep the original backed up.

Requires Windows x64, a Vulkan-capable GPU and a current graphics driver. Runtime dependencies are included; no compiler or emulator is needed. Optional QOL, analog camera and lock-on features start disabled. This package includes no game image, original PSP executable, extracted game assets, save, personal settings, nickname/network identity, cloud connection or signing keys.

Limited checks completed

• Fresh extraction displayed setup without game files, installed the user's own US ISO and loaded a copied character into Pokke Village.
• Limited offline quest/QOL checks exercised Better Shop, quest stars, capture skull with monster reveal, map toggles, restocking, analog camera and lock-on. Five targeted regression suites passed.
• All 11 US quest-summary lists passed the compiled label transform: 77 key labels, unchanged sizes and other bytes. This does not mean every quest giver/quest was manually tested.
• ZIP integrity, dependency checks and allowlist/private-data scans passed. Source export lint: 822 files, zero failures/warnings; Windows package lint: 28 files, zero failures/warnings.

Still unverified: full-game completion, all quests/monsters/areas, other computers/GPUs, audible output, save-write/reload round trips, cloud interoperability, multiplayer/online crossplay, EU executables and quest-return skip. Loadouts are not yet fully functional in either build. Do not rely on them for automatic item preparation.

US overlays currently use runtime interpreter fallback rather than compiled overlay DLLs; performance may differ from FUC. Keep the two installations and save copies separate. Report problems with the US release tag, hardware, reproduction steps and a redacted log. Never upload game files, saves or personal cloud data.

Source, credits and verification

The separate US source branch contains the host/profile implementation. The default branch retains the FUC implementation. GitHub's automatic source ZIP is source code; choose the Windows portable asset to play.

Built on Project Poke by francl35, built on Yakumo by TeamGDB. Original credits and dependency notices are included. Cuga development used Codex/GPT-6 and earlier Claude Code assistance, with human playtesting. Not affiliated with Capcom, Sony or the upstream projects.

Checksums and build information are also attached below.

Project Cuga v0.1.0-test.1 — Windows portable

Newer Windows FUC release available: Project Cuga 0.1.4. The newer update includes FUC feature corrections, HD texture pack support and frame interpolation fixes, but has not been extensively tested. The older download remains available below. Back up saves before updating.

Experimental test build. This is Cuga's first packaged Windows preview, not a stable or fully tested release.

Download Project-Cuga-0.1.0-test.1-Windows-x64-portable.zip below, extract the entire folder, and double-click Cuga.exe. You do not need a compiler, SDK or emulator.

Your own game files are required

On first launch, select your own MHP2G ULJM05500/FUComplete ISO. Setup prepares the executable locally. Supply FUComplete's required FUCDAT support folder from your own patch setup under data/ms0/PSP/SAVEDATA/FUCDAT; it is not in this download. The included README also explains how to use an existing prepared game/ folder instead.

No disc image, original PSP executable, extracted game assets, save, personal settings, cloud files, network nickname, server configuration or signing key is included. Online play and optional quest/shop/map/restock/loadout QOL additions start disabled. A new player configures their own connection and preferences.

Loadout warning

The loadout feature is not yet fully functional. Saving, loading and restocking loadouts is experimental. Check your pouch manually and keep a backup. Loadouts start disabled.

Included and tested

• Windows x64 Cuga executable, 298 matching compiled runtime overlay DLLs, SDL3, FFmpeg and app-local Visual C++ runtime DLLs.
• Better Shop, Key Quest Stars and capture skull support, including skulls with Monsters on the map. Enable desired options under QOL.
• Distribution mode removes the development game-directory fallback and debug tools.
• Clean extracted-folder setup and boot with a privately supplied ISO/FUCDAT passed on the development PC.
• Quest/skull, shop and cloud-save regression tests passed. Dependency, privacy, game-file exclusion, ZIP integrity and checksum checks passed.

Requires 64-bit Windows 10/11 and a Vulkan-capable GPU with a current driver. Not verified on a separate physical computer, every GPU, all quests or a full multiplayer regression run. This release is Windows only.

Keep data/ and any game/ folder when updating; they hold your own progress/game files. Cloud saves start disconnected and need your own setup. See the ZIP's README for installation, save import, troubleshooting and uninstall instructions. SHA256SUMS.txt verifies the download.

Project Cuga 0.1.0 - Android FUC

Newer Android FUC release available: Project Cuga 0.1.4. The newer update includes FUC feature corrections, HD texture pack support and frame interpolation fixes, but has not been extensively tested. The older download remains available below. Back up saves before updating.

Download and install

1. Download Project-Cuga-0.1.0-Android-arm64.apk from Assets below, rather than GitHub's automatic source archives.
2. Requires Android 10 or newer, an ARM64 device and Vulkan 1.1 support. Allow your browser/file manager to install this APK when Android prompts.
3. If you already have Project Cuga installed, install this APK as an update. Do not uninstall first: uninstalling can remove app data. Back up your saves before updating.
4. Launch Project Cuga and follow setup using your own MHP2G ULJM05500/FUComplete ISO and required FUComplete FUCDAT support files. They are not included. This APK uses the FUC profile; US and EU game executables are not supported by this Android release.
5. Configure your own controls and desired QOL options. Enable QOL > Quests > Key Quest Stars / Capture skull on the map; restart after changing quest stars to refresh cached lists.

Features

• Key Quest Stars for Village Elder, Felyne Elder and Guild Hall key quests.
• Capture skull on the map, including when Monsters on the map reveals the monster. The monster must be capturable and visible on the map.
• Better Shop, restock, analog camera/lock-on, touch controls, save import and optional cloud saves remain included. Configure your own cloud document/connection; none is supplied.

Loadouts are not yet fully functional. Check your pouch manually and keep a save backup. Do not rely on loadouts for automatic item preparation.

Cloud saves retain a recovery backup when replacing a save. Play on one device at a time and let your cloud provider finish syncing before switching. If cloud verification fails, keep both saves/backups and retry before overwriting either device's progress.

Troubleshooting

App data is created on your device during setup and play. Use the in-app save export/backup tools before uninstalling. If installation fails, check Android version, ARM64 support, free space and whether an existing app has a different signing certificate. Do not uninstall to resolve a signature mismatch until you have exported your saves. For crashes, report the release tag, device/Android version and steps to reproduce, and redact logs before sharing. Never post game files, saves, private cloud links or credentials.
