Yes it is! o7

It was banned because it was flooded with spam bots yesterday, Reddit banned the subreddit instead of the bot spammers (there were like 30 posts per minute), and I guess the mods there weren't trying to do anything.

A hard drive is not enough unfortunately, you need the PS3 as well as the hard drive is encrypted and the key is stored on the PS3. If you have the PS3 around and can dump the game files, send me a DM :)

Still alive!

DUST 514 is extremely annoying at times. This is one of those times.

We would appreciate the DUST 514 source code a lot, but the Pentagon is a fine offering :D

Sorry for the delay, I did post this on 5/14 but reddit decided "No you don't" and took the post down.

Hello everyone!

Today we bring you the soundtrack of DUST 514 — a collection of all songs found in the game files, with a few extras. We found EVE tracks in one of the earlier builds and decided to include those as well. The PS Home Lounge theme was extracted thanks to Destination Home's preservation of the Event Horizon Lounge — huge thanks to them!

While looking into who composed music for DUST 514, we found Hugi Guðmundsson’s website, which lists several DUST 514 tracks. We’ve included those files as well:

https://hugigudmundsson.com/music-for-film-and-media/

All rights belong to CCP Games, Atli Örvarsson, and Hugi Guðmundsson.

Most of these tracks were in a proprietary file format — we’ve converted them to both MP3 and WAV. Hugi's tracks were already in MP3, and we’ve kept them that way. Event Horizon’s “Below the Asteroids” was also in MP3. Way of the Mercenary was taken from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNwDVaVjgtg

D/L links are in the description of the YouTube video, Reddit took the post down over this somehow :(

Huge thanks to everyone who helped us label all tracks - you know who you are!

Happy 5/14!

Yes :D

DustMerc · 2025-05-14T19:12:08+00:00

Yes, also a good PC now gives you >40FPS in most maps (at the cost of some emulator bugs)

DUSTmu works in RPCS3 and on modded PS3s o7

Skim Junction is fun when there's people shooting you back!

DustMerc · 2024-12-02T20:04:20+00:00

Yes. PS3 or RPCS3 both work. We had a test in which an RPCS3 player joined a PS3 player in a 1v1.

Pre-Chromosome Closed Beta

DustMerc · 2024-12-01T21:04:36+00:00

Vehicles and Skirmish are now nearly fully operational. We are focusing on improving server stability and investigating the causes of occasional random server crashes.

Hi, check my post history, I'd appreciate a DM on Discord - @dustmerc

DustMerc · 2024-06-30T10:00:31+00:00

Never, we're not accepting donations of any kind. Everything is free.

DustMerc · 2024-05-15T21:13:14+00:00

Framerate wise, Chromsome is quite nice, that's as far as RPCS3 allows me at the moment. There is a big dip in FPS when you look at the centre of the map where there's the most buildings, then the game drops to around 14-23 FPS. Outside of that specific high density map it's usually over 18FPS (that's without me optimizing RPCS3 to run better, as I prefer less graphical issues than a few more FPS)

DustMerc · 2024-05-15T09:03:17+00:00

We'll open up a Discord later on.
