# awesome-unofficial-pc-ports

> A single-README guide to unofficial PC ports of console games built from decompilations or recompilations and chosen for easy installation by players. Its 76 game entries, grouped under Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, SEGA, Indie and J2ME, each recommend a port with short setup notes and often link the underlying decompilation and alternative ports; a Utilities section adds two recompilation launchers.

## Requirements & limits

- The reviewed README, committed 2026-10-15, has 78 collapsible entries: 43 Nintendo, 12 PlayStation, 14 Xbox, 5 SEGA, 1 indie and 1 J2ME game, plus 2 launcher utilities. Its stated criteria are console games ported to PC through decompilation or recompilation that offer an easy install path, such as a launcher or drag-and-drop; a star marks the most user-friendly option for each game.
- Entries are written for players: a recommended port, a line or two of setup notes and, for some games, the underlying decompilation, alternative ports or tutorial videos. They state no matching, completion or license status, and the list also carries projects outside its stated criteria, such as Severed Chains, which it calls a reverse-engineered native recreation, and a port of the PC game Cave Story+.
- Most entries tell players to supply their own ROM, disc image, ISO, game dump or XBLA package. The Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home entry also links a third-party archive.org copy of the recovered original J2ME build.
- The README promotes Quiver Launcher, a separate catalog website and launcher, and says the list is kept up in spare time with updates that can take months. The repository holds only README.md and an MIT license (copyright 2023 Sebastrion); linked ports, original games and their assets keep their own rights. An independent discovery list.
