We will not provide downloads of LoD disc images.Ī: No. However, your disc image files or “roms” must be obtained by making legal backups of a physical copy that you own. You cannot get in trouble for downloading and using the Severed Chains platform. Illegality comes from rebuilding the game via leaked source code, whereas this project uses reverse-engineered assembly code and creates a new game engine out of it. Q: Is this project legal? Can I get in trouble for using it?Ī: Yes, the project is legal. View the Setup Guide link above, in the Project Summary section. Q: Is this available to download and play?Ī: Yes. We’d like to get the core functionality in great condition first. For 2023, some of the major goals include the hardware rendering (looks better and runs faster than our software renderer, but takes a lot more work to code), music, much more powerful modding support, and many more.Īlthough various mods may become available in the near future, most of our wishlist items will not be addressed until later. The exact order of these components being made are subject to change. This is a long-term project – many things are planned for it. music not implemented (but nearly ready).Note that every item in the Current Issues column can and will be addressed in due time. Pros & ConsĪ list of the current ways Severed Chains stands out, along with transparency on which parts still need work to reach parity with retail and standard emulation. We’ve also implemented many new features like instant loading times, unlimited save slots, and full mouse support for all menus. As of April 2023, the game is completable with exception for a rare crash with the final boss. There are graphical bugs in combat which are being addressed over time.
SC runs LoD on a software renderer, which is slower than OpenGL (planned for this year), but still works well even on older hardware. We’ve recently had a huge influx of extra developers (7, including me!), so things have really picked up. Severed Chains has been a monumental project, and after just over two long years, we’ve finally released the first recommended build. In fact, it’s not emulation because this rebuild doesn’t rely on mimicking the PS1 hardware! For that reason the game runs faster, leaner, and has breakout modding capabilities. It acts like a PC port, albeit unofficial, and goes beyond the bounds of traditional emulation software. This project reverse-engineers Legend of Dragoon and rebuilds its game engine, meant for public use. To download the preview, head to the Discord server‘s #modding channel and ask for the link, or check the pinned message. Recommended Build #2 + Hard Mode mod preview available now!
