About the project

A native Windows and Linux port of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (PS2), created by statically recompiling the game's PS2 executable into C++. It contains no game code or data, so you must supply your own disc image.

Useful for
  • Build a native PC version of Vice City Stories from your own PS2 disc image.
  • Run the game on Linux with Vulkan instead of an emulator.
  • Rebind keys, gamepad and set widescreen or 60 fps in the F2 settings menu.

5.8 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 31, 2026, 01:21 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150October 30, 2026October 31, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-31 (UTC), 00:27–01:10: 121 → 131 stars (+10). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +136 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 1 day old and already has 131 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #139.
  • About 47 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
