Serial Experiments Lain PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Serial Experiments Lain?
Yes. lain-psx-decompiled needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Serial Experiments Lain PC port finished?
Yes, the project calls it playable, with no release so far.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows, macOS and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. lain-psx-decompiled rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.

Maintain lain-psx-decompiled?

Leaving PlayPorted

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.
