## What is the difference between Compatibility Mode and Fast Mode? ## What is the difference between Compatibility Mode and Fast Mode?
Fast Mode is the most intuitive solution. It simply unpacks all of the assets into a folder for the game to read. This makes it trivial to go back and modify it later without repacking anything and it means you don't need stolen Sony-confidential equipment. However, PSVita and PSTV memory cards use the exFAT filesystem which really does not play nice with WipEout assets and causes all sorts of glitches, so using a genuine PSARC is an absolute necessity when playing on a real console. Compatibility mode uses a real PSARC tool to try and create mod files as similar to the original game files as possible and create minimal friction with the game engine.

## (Linux Users) Do I need WINE? ## (Linux Users) Do I need WINE? And why?
Only if you use Compatibility Mode. psp2psarc.exe is a Windows-only tool so we call WINE internally when needed, but Firestar itself will run on any desktop platform with a compliant Java runtime.
