49 trophies with icons, names, descriptions, grades and persistent offline progress

Available cheats:
- Infinite Health

- Infinite Gold
- Movement Speed 2x
The F10 menu also includes Add 1,000 Gold
✅ Fixed crashes on character name/message text-entry screens
✅ Added a built-in fallback for the missing PS4 system font
This fixes the unreadable red message text that appeared in character and companion/allies message screens
No Sony or PS4 firmware fonts are included
✅ Improved safety and rollback when switching controller prompt packs
v0.3.0 also added several important fixes:
✅ Fixed the crash immediately after pressing PLAY that affected v0.2.0 on Windows and Linux
The cause was Vulkan platform surface initialization
Thanks to u/oliver-vini for finding and fixing this in PR #7
✅ Added Menu & Subtitles language selection in the launcher
Available languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Spanish
Character voices are still selected inside the game
✅ Linux/AppImage launcher can now open before Vulkan validation
If Vulkan support is missing or broken, the launcher now stays open and shows the problem when PLAY is pressed instead of just closing
Current features:
✅ Dragon's Crown Pro, the enhanced PS4 version, running natively on Windows x64
✅ Experimental native Linux / Steam Deck AppImage
✅ The complete live-orchestra soundtrack from Dragon's Crown Pro, with the original soundtrack still available from the game's own options

✅ Optional FPS/frame-time overlay and FPS display in the window title
✅ Local multiplayer for up to 4 players
✅ Cheats launcher page and F10 in-game menu
Compared with playing the PS4 version on console, the PC port keeps the Pro edition's 4K assets, 60 FPS target and orchestral soundtrack while adding PC-specific display and graphics controls, GPU selection, SMAA, texture filtering, FSR1/RCAS, portable files and direct launcher-based installation.
No game files are included.
You need your own legally obtained Dragon's Crown Pro PS4 package
Supported version:
Title ID: CUSA10454
Content ID: UP2611-CUSA10454_00-DRAGONSCROWNPRO1
Version: 01.03
The launcher checks the package and game executable before installing it
Known limitations:
- Online multiplayer is not implemented yet
- Linux / Steam Deck support is still experimental
- Cheats are intended for offline/local play
- Movement Speed 2x affects normal ground movement only
- The fallback font does not yet cover all Korean, Chinese and symbol characters
The port has still mainly been tested on my own hardware, so reports from different Windows and Linux systems, AMD, NVIDIA and Intel GPUs, and especially Steam Deck users would be extremely useful.
If the game crashes or something looks wrong, please open a GitHub issue and attach the newest dragons_crown_pro_*.log from the logs folder. Please do not attach your user\keys.json.

A lot of the PS4 runtime and renderer work builds on shadPS4, and gow3_pc was also an important technical reference for getting Dragon's Crown Pro running natively on PC.
Enjoy, and please let me know how it runs for you 🙂
