Launcher v0.2.0-rc7¶

Released 2026-09-27.

Settings¶

With Remastered on, a game's settings tabs edit its remastered settings, not the retail ones.

Interface¶

The Phaethon mark replaces the JAK lettering on the icon, the splash, the sidebar, About and Home.

Install¶

The setup offers a Phaethon folder in your user folder, which needs no administrator rights.

Security¶

Settings and the setup have a Send crash and usage reports switch, on by default.
A launcher crash sends Phaethon a report with no account or PC name, unless reports are off.
With reports off, your play sessions are not sent to your Phaethon account.
The Account page, the setup and About say what the launcher sends.

Fixes¶

The import bar moves while a game compiles.

Phaethon is a hard fork of OpenGOAL's jak-project. Naughty Dog made the games; you need your own copy of each. built from the wiki · 4 Nov 2026

Built with AI in the loop. Phaethon uses AI assistance for speed and accuracy, and holds it to the same bar as every other contribution: every change is read, tested and checked against the console before it lands.
