RetComM Launcher

You can run this title standalone (release zip + the built-in recomp-ui Generate & Build flow), or manage installs, updates, ROM/BIOS wiring, and queued builds more intuitively with RetComM Launcher — the Retro Compilation Manager hub for self-compiling recomps.

RetComM checks for updates, rebuilds with existing build data when possible, uses the same platform build tools as per-title launchers, and automates BIOS/ROM/save plumbing so you are not stuck repeating each game’s wizard by hand.

Legal

You must own the original game. Disc images under disc/ are gitignored and must never be committed. Retail BIOS dumps are not redistributed. This title requires a legal SCPH-5552 BIOS dump. OpenBIOS is not a qualified route.

Project-owned files use GPL-3.0-only. This license does not cover psxrecomp, recomp-ui, game data, generated retail code, artwork, names, or trademarks. See THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md for the separate dependency licenses.

Default app icon: assets/psxrecomp.ico (and .png / .svg) — RetComM-themed controller mark from psxrecomp/assets/. Windows builds embed it via APP_ICON.

Optional box art under launcher_assets/img/ may come from libretro-thumbnails (Named_Boxarts); see BOXART_SOURCE.txt when present.

Quick start (dev)

git submodule update --init --recursive
./psxrecomp/tools/ci/build_emitters.sh
python3 psxrecomp/psxrecomp_cli.py generate \
  --config game.toml --project-root . --disc disc/<your>.cue
cmake -S . -B build-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build-release --target psx-runtime

Zip prefix for CI artifacts: spyro-the-dragon-recomp.

Symbols

Progressive map: symbols.toml → python3 tools/sync_symbols.py → psx_symbols.h (PSX_FN_*). See psxrecomp/docs/SYMBOLS.md.

Framework pins

Submodule gitlinks (psxrecomp, optional recomp-ui, nested recomp-net) are authoritative. framework_pins.txt is an optional scaffold snapshot; release CI logs SHAs with record_pins.sh but builds whatever the gitlinks resolve to. Bump submodules deliberately — do not float on main/master in release CI.

+## About this project

These ports are developed by a hobbyist (a DevSecOps engineer, not a game programmer) with substantial AI assistance. What keeps that honest: every change is validated before it ships - boot gates, hardware-oracle A/B comparisons (Beetle/DuckStation), deterministic replay probes, and a shared findings registry that documents failures as carefully as successes. AI writes most of the code; the evidence discipline decides what survives. Bug reports welcome - expect them to be investigated the same way.

tl;dr AI writes the code, but I always test it myself before pushing

v0.1.1 three-platform candidate

This candidate targets Windows x64, Linux x64, macOS ARM64, and macOS x64. These setup packages require your legally owned game disc and a supported regional retail BIOS. They remain unpublished until their exact package tests and release authorization pass.
