How to install

Download oxce.vpk from the release page and install it to your PS Vita.

rePatch reDux0 OR FdFix plugin may be required for proper suspend/resume support (only use one at a time).

Game folders lists

OpenXcom requires a vanilla copy of the X-COM resources - from either or both of the original games. You can purchase the game on Steam or GOG.com.

Steam game folder location:

  • UFO - "Steam\SteamApps\common\XCom UFO Defense\XCOM"
  • TFTD - "Steam\SteamApps\common\X-COM Terror from the Deep\TFD"

UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-COM: UFO Defense:

  • GEODATA
  • GEOGRAPH
  • MAPS
  • ROUTES
  • SOUND
 
  • TERRAIN
  • UFOGRAPH
  • UFOINTRO (optional)
  • UNITS

X-COM: Terror From the Deep:

  • ANIMS (optional)
  • FLOP_INT (optional)
  • GEODATA
  • GEOGRAPH
  • MAPS
 
  • ROUTES
  • SOUND
  • TERRAIN
  • UFOGRAPH
  • UNITS

If you want to import your old games, copy the GAME_* folders to the directory where your OpenXcom saves are.

Mod support

RAM is pretty limited on Vita, so there's a chance that game would just crash with heavy mods installed (XPiratez, 40k, etc).

Startup time for big mods can take a few minutes.

It's highly recomended to use archived mods (by placing zip file of the mod inside ux0:data/OXCE/mods/), since their loading times are MUCH lower (The X-Com Files 3.1 startup time is 4 minutes for zip file vs 15 minutes for extracted mod).

User guide

You can change game resolution in the "Video" options menu.

320x200 provides the best performance. 480x272 with Display Mode set to "Fullscreen" and Geoscape Scale/Battlescape Scale set to "Full Display" provides great visuals (x2 pixel scaling) while still having good performance.

"Fullscreen" display mode scales game surface to fullscreen. "Windowed" mode centers the game area w/o scaling it.

You can skip intros by tapping on screen.
