About

A static recompilation project for Armored Core (USA) on the original PlayStation, built with PSXRecomp and recomp-ui. The repository contains no game, disc images, BIOS files, extracted executables or generated game code, so you must provide your own copy of Armored Core.

Getting started

Clone the repository with its framework submodules and provide your own Armored Core (USA) disc dump locally. Run the PSXRecomp generate command with the project config and your disc image, then configure and build with CMake and Ninja. Generated files stay local and are not part of the repository.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (PlayStation version).
