Time Crisis 2 & Virtua Fighter 2 Arcade-Perfect PC Ports Released

3 Comments

Earlier today, I informed you about an unofficial PC port of Call of Duty 3. Normally, I would wait until tomorrow to share the next PC port. But I just couldn’t wait! Why? Because two of my all-time favorite arcade games have been ported to PC.

Let’s start with Time Crisis 2. This 3D light-gun arcade shooter came out in 1998. You can’t imagine how many coins I spent on this game. Like with most Time Crisis games, I learned each stage by heart. In the end, I could beat the whole game with just one coin.

This arcade-perfect PC port is part of the namco22-decompile project. Namco System 22 games for PC, also known as namco22-decompile, currently supports nine games. These are Time Crisis, Rave Racer, Dirt Dash, Tokyo Wars, Prop Cycle, Armadillo Racing, Ace Driver, Cyber Commando, and Time Crisis 2. These games run better than MAME. They do not require a Namco System 22 Arcade BIOS, and they offer some QoL improvements. For instance, they support widescreen aspect ratios, as well as resolutions up to 4K.

On the other hand, the unofficial PC port of Virtua Fighter 2 is not up to what I was hoping for. Only the i960 program is recompiled. The rest of the Model 2A board (the TGP geometry processor, the geometrizer and polygon renderer, the System 24 tile layers, and the sound board’s 68000 and SCSP) runs on code from MAME, inside an SDL 3 host.

The good news is that the game runs and looks better than MAME. The PC port supports up to 6x the arcade resolution. It also has support for widescreen and ultrawide monitors, meaning that the stages extend to the sides. You can also run it at up to 120FPS, and there is support for Antialiasing (Low, 2x, 3x).

You can download the PC port of Time Crisis 2 from here. You can also download the PC port of Virtua Fighter 2 from here.

In case you are into projects like these, you can also download the unofficial PC ports of Mario Kart Wii, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Strikers. We’ll also soon get PC ports of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

But what about non-Super Mario games? Well, right now, you can download the unofficial PC ports of Crash Team Racing, Forza Horizon 2, and Duke Nukem: Zero Hour. You can also play The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, Perfect Dark, and Jak & Daxter.

These past few weeks, I also shared the unofficial PC versions of The Simpsons Game, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, Gears of War 3, and Bloodborne. Let’s also not forget the PC ports of P.T., Virtua Fighter Arcade, God of War 3 Remastered, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and Metroid Prime.

For our SNES fans, we also have a PC port of Star Fox. We also got a PC port of F-Zero. Brian Tate has also brought the three classic SNES Donkey Kong Country games to PC. Plus, we got a PC port of Mother 2/EarthBound.

In September 2026, we shared a lot of unofficial PC ports. So, you can download and enjoy on PC Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link,  WET, The Darkness, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, Mercenaries, GTA: Liberty City Stories, Fable 2, Burnout Revenge, and Lost Odyssey.

And that’s not all of them. We also have the unofficial PC ports of Mario Party 4, Sonic Unleashed, GoldenEye 007, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Silent Hill, and Super Smash Bros. 64. In July 2026, we shared the unofficial PC ports of Gears of War 2 and Syphon Filter. Then, in August 2026, we shared the PC ports of Diddy Kong Racing and Ace Combat 6. Let’s also not forget the unofficial PC versions of Wave Race 64, Blue Dragon, and Pikmin.  Finally, you can download the PC ports of Ninja Gaiden 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Tekken 3.

Have fun!
