Faxanadu PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Faxanadu?
- Yes. FaxanaduRecomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Faxanadu PC port finished?
- It is in beta: playable, with known issues, with no release so far.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. FaxanaduRecomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.
