About

A static recompilation of Bomberman World built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui. The README lists it as a USA release for up to 5 players and describes the game's goal of collecting all Crystals on a map to open the exit door.

Getting started

It offers a standalone release zip with a built-in Generate & Build flow, or Retro Launcher for managing installs, updates and BIOS wiring, and OpenBIOS is used for Generate unless you supply your own SCPH BIOS.

Known issues & limitations

Battle armor is only used for boss battles and is lost when advancing to the next world.

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).

You must own the original game.

Features

Use bombs to destroy enemies and obstacles, collect all map crystals to open the exit, and advance through the areas.
Each world’s fourth area has a Dark Force Bomber and a world-themed boss; defeating the Dark Force Bomber grants battle armor with normal and special attacks for the next boss battle.

How to install

Run the title standalone using a release zip and the built-in recomp-ui Generate & Build flow.
