ICO PC Port v0.1.0 (alpha)

First public alpha of the ICO PC port: a native Windows build of ICO (PS3), statically recompiled with ps3recomp.

No game files are included. Run the setup and select your own PS3_GAME folder (USA, BCUS98259), your RPCS3 (it decrypts ICO.self and provides the PS3 firmware) and an install folder. ICO is recompiled on your PC (about 6–30 min) and installed as ico.exe.

Highlights

• Boots to the title menu, plays the opening cinematic and reaches gameplay at ~48–60 fps in 3D (development PC).
• One self-contained setup exe: automatic decryption with your RPCS3 or your own ICO.elf, build-tools check (offers Visual Studio Build Tools and Python through winget), progress bar, shortcuts.
• Direct3D 12 backend for the shared RSX draw engine: full post chain (fog, sepia, bloom, letterbox); no black screen, white flashes or missing geometry.
• Firmware ATRAC codec and MultiStream DSP overlay recompiled: music and effects play.

Requirements

Windows 10/11 x64, a Direct3D 12 GPU, RPCS3 with the PS3 firmware installed, ~5 GB free disk. See the README.

Known issues

Rare crash during start-up (start again), no anti-aliasing, fixed 1280×720 window, short audio glitches when a track starts, closing the window may leave ico.exe running. Full list in the README; changes in CHANGELOG.md.

Please report problems in Issues with logs\install.log and logs\ico.log from your install folder.
