Modder runs Counter-Strike clone at 60 FPS on original PSP using custom Rust engine

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A modder has successfully created a functional clone of Counter-Strike, named OpenStrike, that runs at 60 FPS on the original Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP). This impressive feat was achieved by developing a custom Rust-based 3D engine called Pocket3D and a PocketJS engine for game rules and UI. The proof-of-concept is playable with bots at the PSP's native 480x272 resolution, utilizing a BSP rendering method and pre-processed graphical assets to maintain performance. The project also functions on the PlayStation Vita and can be run as a desktop game or on the PPSSPP emulator, though users must provide their own Counter-Strike asset data. AI
