The basics

Do I need the game?

Yes. You need a ROM of the game (not provided here) and RPCS3, which is used to decrypt your copy during setup.

It has to be the US PlayStation 3 version, BLUS30011.

FAQ

Is this using an emulator?

No. The launcher turns the game into a real PC program on your machine, so it runs natively, with no emulator while you play. RPCS3 is only used once, during setup, to decrypt your copy.

Is this legal?

Project 8 Plus includes and downloads none of the original game. You provide your own copy, which your own RPCS3 decrypts, and the launcher builds the PC copy on your PC. It's a free, unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Activision or Neversoft.

I have the European or Japanese disc. Will it work?

No. Only the US disc, BLUS30011, works for now. The launcher checks your copy and tells you if it is a different one.

Does it matter which drive I install to?

Installing on the same drive as your game files saves space. On a different drive the game data is copied, which needs about 5 GB more.

Where are my saves?

In one folder for every install and version: Documents\My Games\Project 8 Plus\Saves (Linux: ~/.local/share/project8plus/saves). The launcher's Settings > Saves opens it, moves it and imports saves from older installs. Copy that folder to back them up.

My antivirus or Windows warned me.

The launcher and the game it builds are not signed, which these checks dislike. Download only from the official page, and report the warning so we can look into it.

Were language models used in the development?

Yes, excessively.
