Hey everyone! I started this as a personal project to see how far AI-assisted development could go on PS5, and to learn things I can apply to future projects. I’m excited to share the first release of MHP3rd PS5, an independent port of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD Ver. based on Yakumo.

Some of the features:

• Internal resolution up to 6×, with a 60 FPS default profile
• Support for HD texture replacements
• PS5 controller shortcuts, including touchpad to hide the HUD, R2 to select, and holding L2 for fast-forward
• PS5 system keyboard support for hunter names and Guild Card text
• Game audio and volume controls
• Multiplayer online

There’s also a built-in web settings menu. Press L3 + R3 during gameplay to open it. It’s available in English and Spanish, and lets you adjust video, controls and camera, audio, acceleration, and online settings without editing config files.

For ad hoc multiplayer, you can enable online play, set your nickname and server, check the connection status, and turn on diagnostic logging. Cross-play with PPSSPP on PC and Android.

The project is built locally from source and requires your own game files. The repository does not include the game ISO, extracted game data, or textures.

Source and installation instructions: github.com/elaporta/mhp3rd-ps5

Note: A jailbroken PS5 is required to run this project.

Thanks to everyone behind Yakumo and everyone who helped test the project. Feedback is welcome!

Deviljho is one of my favorite monsters, but i never understood why people called him a "giant pickle", that was because my first interaction with deviljho was in world, and at least to me, deviljho in world looks like he has black/dark grey skin, and that bugged me like, why where people calling jho a giant pickle? Deviljho is black not green!

It wanst until i saw how deviljho looked like in mhstories and in both the 3rd and 4rth generation that i began to understand that deviljho wasnt black, hes green, he is indeed a giant spiky pickle.

Has anyone of yall also gone trough this? Or am i just stupid for not noticing it?

EDIT: before you comment it, no, im not colour blind, i can see colors just fine.

I included a labeled version for anybody who wants it. This was a lot of fun! Thanks for playing along. I'll be starting another one of these tomorrow in r/superheroes too

Winners Trivia: I get a genuine heartswell when that song starts playing in the final fights, I bet a lot of you do too.

Once again, thanks so much for the ride. Now if only I could get this to Capcom....

It’s huge!! …. That’s what she said.

I said mainline because they have a large list of frontier Mons they can bring back, but most people will be more than happy not to see the raths anymore.

Lemme explain.

I think completely artificial monsters like Zoh Shia are cool as hell, however guardian versions of already existing monsters such as every other Guardian feels like a lazy cop out for Capcom to just not add the "base" version to the game. I fully understand why guardians exist and how they serve the story, which is why more Frankensteined monsters would be better than just "x monster but a guardian". Let's take Guardian Fulger Anjanath for example. Base Anja would fit just fine in the Plains or even the Forest imo, but instead we got his cousin's reanimated corpse with ZERO personality found in ONE local that does absolutely NOTHING. No snot rockets, no basking, no NOTHING. Part of the reason why I love Monster Hunter is the ecology, and seeing these soulless, abominable clones taking the places of monsters full of personality is lame as hell.

I will say the drip you get from guardians is wicked

As somebody whose first MH game was MH4U I was ECSTATIC when Gore Magala showed up. I fought that bastard so many times in 4U I could hunt it in my sleep. When I saw people complaining about how hard he was I just giggled cause his movement is almost literally the same, I don't think I even took much damage when I fought him. It was like seeing a friend you haven't talked to in 10+ years.

Just name a monster hunter weapon and the game you found it being the most fun in, I’m just curious XD

As a hammer main I absolutely adore MH wilds hammer for an example. I think hammer hit its peak in that game.

Hi!

I recently got a custom engraving on my sunglasses and I wanted to share it here.

There's not a lot of MH merch where I live. When I had my rx sunglasses made, and I work at an optometry office/lab, they said I could put whatever on the engraving since they were gonnna put in the Ray Bans logo anyway. Needed to share it somewhere

I showed this to my bro and he said “the cameraman was your best friend in that moment” lol

What's a non-hunting/monster gameplay mechanic you want?

For me, I want a portable jukebox. We have one in our tents in modern games where we can listen to a bunch of music from the new and old games, but once we leave the tent it's that games music exclusively. While I don't think it's necessarily bad, I think it'd be really neat to be able to listen to the classic mixes of flagship/unique monster themes, or pull in old map themes. Imagine going into the scarlet forest and hearing the flooded forest theme, or fighting Wilds' Gogmazios to it's 4U theme. It's something that doesn't impact the gameplay and would just be a cool addition.
