Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness?
Yes. cvlod_recomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness PC port finished?
It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Sep 2026.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows and macOS.
Is it an emulator?
No. cvlod_recomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.

Maintain cvlod_recomp?

You're opening a third-party site

  • PlayPorted doesn't run or check this site, and hasn't verified the software it offers. Download and run it at your own risk.
  • You need your own copy of the game. Legitimate projects never give you the game files.
  • If the site looks wrong or hands out game files, report the link and we'll look into it.
