Installing the HPSXRP has been made simple so you can quickly jump in and start.

Before beginning the installation steps, ensure your Unity project is closed to decrease the risk of an issue occurring.

This installation process requires Git and Git LFS to be installed on your system. Make sure both are up to date before attempting installation of HPSXRP. A number of users have encountered problems in the past due to use of old versions of Git and / or Git LFS.

On Windows, Git can be downloaded and installed here: https://git-scm.com/download/win When installing, when you reach the Select Components screen in the install wizard, sure Git LFS is selected.
