Silent Hill 1 PC Port (silent-hill-decomp, pc-port branch)

Yes, the original Silent Hill now has an unofficial native PC port. Konami never released the 1999 PlayStation game on PC, but SlickAmogus’s Silent Hill PC Port compiles the game from the fan decompilation into a real Windows program. The README says it is fully playable from start to finish, though still in beta. It ships no game files: you need a disc image of your own copy, so this page has no download or play link. Unofficial, not affiliated with Konami.

This is about the first game only. Silent Hill f and the remakes are official releases and are not covered here.

What it is

The port lives on the pc-port branch of SlickAmogus/silent-hill-decomp. It builds on the Silent Hill decompilation, a long-running human effort that rewrites the US 1.1 release as C code that compiles back to the original binary. That project says it will never produce a port itself; forks like this one do the porting.

Hardware calls go through PsyCross, a PlayStation SDK compatibility layer first written for REDRIVER2. According to its README, the result is not an emulator and not a static recompilation: no part of the original binary is machine-translated. Optional extras include:

• any resolution, widescreen and uncapped frame rates, with optional PGXP perspective correction;
• third-person, over-the-shoulder and first-person cameras alongside the classic fixed ones;
• quick save and load, an in-game options overlay, a console and cheats;
• a mod manager, texture packs, model replacement, RetroAchievements and Discord presence.

At default settings it aims to play like the original.

Current status

Checked 2026-10-17: under active development, last pushed 2026-10-16. The first alpha came out on 2026-03-10, Beta 1 on 2026-07-02, and a cross-platform beta (PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Xbox) on 2026-09-04, updated since. GenerationAmiga reported that Beta 1 made the game completable, with remaining glitches and occasional crashes. The README lists as known issues: Linux and macOS builds still have problems, hardware-specific visual glitches, and minor cosmetic bugs.

What you need

• A disc image of your own PlayStation copy of Silent Hill. We do not explain how to get one.
• A Windows PC. Linux and macOS are work in progress; the README suggests Wine on Linux for now.
• The build is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn on first launch.

Who made it

The port is by SlickAmogus (KushAstronaut on Discord). The upstream decompilation belongs to its own contributors, who state that their work is human-made; the port’s README says its own development is heavily AI-assisted, with every change reviewed by hand. The port code is GPL-3.0; it claims no rights over the decompiled game code.

Is it safe and legal?

• It is an unofficial fan project and contains no Konami game data.
• Only use a disc image of a copy you own.
• The repository and its nightly builds repository are the official sources. Other sites using the name are not.

Not working?

Try another renderer: the README names a renderer= setting (d3d11, vulkan or warp). Bugs are tracked on the project’s GitHub issues page.
