# gothamor/gta-vcs-recomp

> 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.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-31 (UTC), 00:27–02:33: 121 → 146 stars (+25). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +162 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 146 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #129.
- About 47 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 7
- Issues and pull requests: 10
- Watchers: 10
- Average over the last week: 154 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
