Vanilla Conquer is a fully portable version of the first-generation C&C engine and can run both Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert on multiple platforms.

This is the Tiberian Dawn executable (formerly VanillaTD).

The focus of Vanilla Conquer is to keep the default out-of-box experience faithful to what the games were back when they were released and work as a drop-in replacement for the original executables while also providing bug fixes, compatibility and quality of life improvements.

Requirements

  • fd_fix.skprx OR repatch_ex.skprx
  • Game Data Files: PC

Install

Download vanillatd.vpk file from here. Install it to your PS Vita.

Copy content of installed Tiberium Dawn game folder into to ux0:data/VanillaTD/.

Check Vanilla Conquer Wiki for more info about required folder/file structure and game versions compatibility:

Installing VanillaTD

expand.mix, expand2.mix, hires1.mix files that are required for RA expansions can be acquired from 3.03 patch.

rePatch reDux0 OR FdFix plugin may be required for proper suspend/resume support (only use one at a time).

Controls

  • Left analog stick - Cursor movement / Map scrolling (switch between both modes with a 3-fingress press on the rear touchpad)
  • Right analog stick - Map scrolling
  • CROSS - Left mouse button
  • CIRCLE - Right mouse button (Cancel building, deselect unit..)
  • SQUARE - G (Guard Area)
  • TRIANGLE - F (Formation. RA only)
  • D-Pad Up/Right/Down/Left - 1/2/3/4 button
  • R1 - Alt (force move)
  • L1 - Ctrl (force attack)
  • SELECT - Esc (opens menu, skips videos)
  • START - Enter (to submit score after the mission)

Use R1 + D-Pad to create teams (1-4) and D-Pad to select them (same as Ctrl + 1-4 on keyboard). You can use DPad numbers while entering savegame names.

Left analog stick can be used for both cursor movement (good for building or precise movement) or map scrolling (useful during combat when you're giving command with a touchpad). Cursor movement mode is default. To switch between both modes use R1 + L1 + START key combination.

You can change cursor movement speed by editing ControllerPointerSpeed option under [Vita] section inside conquer.ini/redalert.ini files.

You can also control cursor movement with rear touchpad. To do so set RearTouchEnabled option to yes. You can change its speed with RearTouchSpeed option.

Other

Config files for VanillaTD are located at ux0:data/VanillaTD/vanillatd/conquer.ini.

To preserve original aspect ratio set Boxing=yes option.

If you want to display the game at native resolution without any scaling set ScaleGameSurface=no ([Vita] section).

Game supports nearest and linear filtering. Nearest is used by default and it produces sharp, but pixelated image (that's especially noticeable on text). Linear is smooth, but somewhat blurred. To select linear filtering set Scaler option to linear
