The Last Guardian (HayatoG)

Game: The Last Guardian → (PS4, 2016)

A native Linux and Windows port of the PS4 release (US CUSA03627 or European CUSA03745, with update 01.03): the game’s original code runs directly on the CPU, with no CPU emulation, a runtime reimplements the PS4 system libraries, and the GPU’s commands and shaders are translated to Vulkan with shadPS4’s video core. It builds on gow3_pc (now SpartanPort) and bloodborne_pc, and shares fixes with the same author’s inFAMOUS Second Son port. Its author calls it playable: it boots, reaches gameplay, and holds up through sessions of more than 10 minutes without failures, with native 1080p output, audio, autosave, DualSense, DualShock 4, Xbox, and 8BitDo controllers through SDL3 with real or simulated gyro, and keyboard and mouse with mouse camera control and remappable keys. It runs at 30 fps as on PS4, with 60 fps or an unlocked rate as experimental options, and adds SMAA anti-aliasing, RCAS or CAS sharpening, color adjustments, its own in-game menu, and a launcher that also loads cheats in the shadPS4 and GoldHEN format. The Linux build is tested; the Windows one is built automatically but hasn’t been tested in game yet. It publishes a release with every change, the latest on October 22. 67 of its last 100 commits list Claude as a co-author.

You needYour own dump of The Last Guardian for PS4, CUSA03627 (US) or CUSA03745 (Europe), with the base game and update 01.03 in one folder (about 25 GB), taken from your console with GoldHEN and Itemzflow; for audio, also the libSceNgs2.sprx file from your PS4’s firmware. Plus 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 or x86-64 Linux (glibc 2.39 or later), a Vulkan 1.3 graphics card (6 GB of VRAM recommended), and about 25 GB of free space. On CPUs without MOVBE, BMI1, or LZCNT (Intel before Haswell) it emulates those instructions.
