Attention! PSX BIOS REQUIRED!
This game is not like others that can work without setting up a real PSX Bios. In other words you can’t use HLE.
Go to Config -> Bios and Disable HLE and find a real PSX bios and select it.
Also important to check OPTIONS -> CPU Overclocking -> X1

Decompilation of Policenauts, the classic 'interactive cinema' game from Konami.
Overview
Disclaimer: At the moment this project is essentially a placeholder. Research is still being conducted. It will be some time before serious work starts getting done.
This project aims to construct a C/Assembly language codebase that will compile working replacement code for the orignal hardware and, if possible, match the original binary exactly.
New content not representative of the base games such as ports to new systems, enhancements, translations, etc. most likely will not be merged while the initial decompilation is ongoing. Please create a new fork of the project to do so. (This policy may be changed in the future.)
Hardware
Each version of Policenauts not only targets different hardware, but each system possesses a different instruction set architecture as well.
| Platform | ISA/CPU |
|---|---|
| NEC PC-9821 | Intel x86 |
| 3DO | ARM60 |
| Sony PlayStation | MIPS R3000A |
| Sega Saturn | Hitachi SH2 |
