Port of Fallout 2 for PS Vita based on a reverse engineering of the game called Fallout 2: Community Edition.

Installation

Note: You must own the game to play. Purchase your copy on GOG or Steam.

Install fallout2-ce.vpk to your PS Vita.

Copy master.dat, critter.dat, patch000.dat, data and sound folders from the installed Fallout 2 game folder into to ux0:data/fallout2/.

Copy fallout2.cfg too, if you're using non-english Fallout 2 version (or make sure that language setting is properly set in it (language=german, language=french, etc)).

User guide

Configurations

You can change the control mode of front or rear touchpad by editing ux0:data/fallout2/f2_res.ini and changing FRONT_TOUCH_MODE and REAR_TOUCH_MODE parameters.

You can change the game resolution by editing ux0:data/fallout2/f2_res.ini file and modifying SCR_WIDTH and SCR_HEIGHT parameters. Recommended resolutions are 640x480, 848x480 and 960x544.

Cursor speed can be changed with MOUSE SENSITIVITY slider in game preferences.

Notes

Fallout 2 CE is still in early stages of development, so all kinds of bugs and crashes are to be expected.

Savegames can get corrupted sometimes, so you should try saving on the different save slots to avoid losing the game progress. Rewriting the "corrupted" savegame slot might break the new savegame too. Corrupted save folder from the ux0:data/fallout2/data/SAVEGAME needs to be deleted before it's reused again.
