Case study
Uncharted Collection PC: running the PS4 trilogy on Windows
Uncharted Collection PC runs the PS4 Uncharted trilogy on Windows by executing the original x86-64 game code over replacement PS4 system libraries and a Vulkan graphics layer. The fork adapts a pre-existing runtime to the collection and documents game-specific fixes, controls and remaining performance issues.
