A working port of Counter-Strike 1.6 is now available for the PlayStation Vita, made possible thanks to the powerful, cross-platform, open-source engine Xash3D FWGS. This port uses cs16client, a reverse-engineered client library of the original Counter-Strike 1.6, enabling authentic gameplay on handheld hardware.
Features
- Built on Xash3D FWGS, a flexible and actively developed engine compatible with GoldSrc-based games.
- Supports online multiplayer with original CS 1.6 (GoldSrc) servers, allowing cross-play with PC users.
- Designed to retain the classic gameplay experience while leveraging Vita's hardware capabilities.
Current Limitations / Missing Features
- Some features are not yet implemented, but may be added in the future:
- Touchscreen support for buy menus, voice chat, and map voting.
- Gyroscopic aiming, similar to what is available in the vitaQuake3 port.
Development Status
Due to limited time and resources, some features remain on the roadmap. However, both Xash3D FWGS and cs16client are open-source projects, meaning contributions from the wider homebrew and open-source community are welcome and encouraged.
If you're interested in contributing or improving the port, feel free to fork the source and get involved!
Installation
- First of all, you need to install engine according to this instruction: https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs/blob/master/Documentation/psvita.md
- When it's done and Half-Life started working, you need to download cs16-client build from there: https://github.com/Velaron/cs16-client/releases/tag/continuous
- Also, you need to copy cstrike folder from your Steam installation to ux0:data/xash3d, then copy cstrike folder from downloaded archive to ux0:data/xash3d
- Then start Xash3D, tap on Choose game button in main menu, select Counter-Strike there and that's it.
