Important
ReTiP is an unofficial project
Note
This Repo has a strict no AI rule, No Vibe Coding, No AI generated Assets, No AI assisted Disassembly/Analysis.
ReTiP recompiles and hooks Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise in order to better mod support, and QoL features.
The main priority of this project is not to be playable on low end hardware or to be fully optimized. I started this project as a means to mod Trouble in Paradise, Adding cheats, Reverse Engineering the asset formats, Texture Packs, and adding other cool stuff. Im not a purest when it comes to making this recomp be fully native. Eventually I or someone else will add a native renderer that will lower the system requirements, But thats not my priority. It runs on my system (rtx 3050) at 200fps, and over 100fps on a gtx 1660. Ive added some optimizations and have decompiled some broken shaders so that the recomp doesn't have the same performance/quality issues as xenia. Uncapped xenia can only run the game at 70fps, while this recomp runs at 240fps on my machine.

Currently only supports windows, Linux is planned though. This project is still very early on and personally I dont have a Steam Deck to work on compatibility.
Requires the retail Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise disc. Steam Deck is not supported yet. Windows x86-64 only.

You can download and install the game from https://gamejolt.com/games/retip/1087631 If you use their launcher you will get trophies on GameJolt for the actual achievements you would get on Xbox Live. Otherwise you can download it here, Its the same build just without GameJolt.
Once downloaded and ran, you will be prompted to select a Iso file, This should be a copy of the disk from a legitimate copy of the game. You can follow https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/wiki/Quickstart#how-to-rip-games for more details.
After extracting, you can press F5 to manage the mods, The latest 1.12.1 update includes a ThunderStore mod browser that allows you to download user made mods directly from the recomp. Im looking into getting r2modman support so that the external Thunderstore Mod manager works.
Everything below is new to ReTiP. Most of it is configurable via F4 Menu. Id do ingame menus but all the Viva Pinata menus are hardcoded.

- Four quality presets, Low through Ultra via launch menu.
- Anisotropic filtering and Mipmap bias control.
- Graphics toggles to help low end hardware by cutting off Shadows, Ambient Occlusion, Post Processing etc.
- Unlocked FPS with optional caps and VSync.

- Shaderpacks.
- Ice shader that would be broken in xenia is fixed in the recomp.
- Unlocked frame rate with a way to cap the fps back to the original fps or vsync.
- Field of view adjustment, By adjusting the aspect ratio the FOV will change as well.
