Framework
This project uses:
- PSXRecomp — PlayStation static recompilation framework created and developed by mstan.
- recomp-ui — launcher/setup UI from RetroPortingToolKit.
Current framework repository: https://github.com/RetroPortingToolKit/psxrecomp
Special thanks and full credit to mstan for creating and developing PSXRecomp, the PlayStation static recompilation tool and framework that makes this project possible.
Additional thanks to the PSXRecomp contributors, RetroPortingToolKit, and recomp-ui contributors.
Getting started
Clone the repository and initialize its framework submodules:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/omegakatana92/Armored-Core-Recomp.git
cd Armored-Core-Recomp
git submodule update --init --recursive
Provide your own legally obtained Armored Core (USA) disc dump locally. The setup/generation workflow uses that local copy to prepare and generate the files required for your personal build. Those generated and extracted files are intentionally excluded from this repository.
A typical development build uses the current PSXRecomp workflow:
python3 psxrecomp/psxrecomp_cli.py generate --config game.toml --project-root . --disc "<path-to-your-legal-cue>"
cmake -S . -B build-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build-release --target psx-runtime
Refer to the PSXRecomp documentation in the submodule for the current platform-specific setup and generation requirements.
Repository safety policy
The public repository intentionally excludes:
.bin,.cue,.iso,.chd,.img,.pbp, and other ROM/disc-image formats- PlayStation BIOS dumps
.exe,.dll, and other compiled binariesbuild/,build-*, CMake output, and release staging directories- the extracted
SCUS_941.82PlayStation executable - generated recompilation C derived from the original game executable
- saves, FMV, audio, textures, models, artwork, and other extracted game assets
The repository contains only project source/configuration, metadata, symbol/seed information, documentation, and framework submodule references appropriate for public development.
