An unofficial native Windows port of inFamous (PlayStation 3, 2009, European release BCES00220). The game's PowerPC (PPU) and SPU code is statically recompiled to x86-64 C/C++ with ps3recomp, so it runs as a normal Windows program rather than under an emulator.

This repository contains no game code or data. You build the game yourself, on your own PC, from your own copy of the game.

Download inFamous Setup.exe from the latest release, run it, choose your .iso (an encrypted image works with its .dkey next to it) or your game folder (the one with PS3_GAME in it), pick an install location and press Install.

Setup checks for Python and the C++ build tools and offers to install them, copies the game out of the disc image, regenerates the recompiled code from your copy, builds it and adds an inFamous shortcut. Running Setup again on the same folder updates or repairs the install and only redoes what changed.

When a new version is published here, players update in place instead of reinstalling: Update now in Setup (it finds the existing install), the Update inFamous shortcut in the Start menu, or Update inFamous.cmd in the install folder. The updater compares every file with this repository, downloads only what changed, regenerates the game code only if the port's patches changed, and recompiles only the affected parts. Installs made with an older Setup need one run of the new Setup on the same folder first.

• Your own inFamous disc dump, European release (BCES00220).
• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a GPU with Direct3D 12 support.
• Python 3.10+ with "Add python.exe to PATH" ticked.
• Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools with the Desktop development with C++ workload and the C++ Clang Compiler for Windows component.
• RPCS3, only if your PS3_GAME\USRDIR has EBOOT.BIN but no decrypted EBOOT.elf. Setup uses it to decrypt the executable.
• About 10 GB of free disk space and 16 GB of RAM.

infamous-installer doctor checks the requirements only. Finished steps are skipped when you run it again, so an interrupted install continues where it stopped. See installer/README.md for every step and the maintainer commands.

Run Play inFamous (or the inFamous shortcut Setup made). Controllers work as on the console, and keyboard and mouse are supported. F10 opens the settings menu for vsync, frame cap, resolution and more (saved to settings.ini).
