Links, repository & detailsAbout
A static recompilation of Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (1 player, USA) built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui, set up as a native recompilation setup host. Release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64, and the v0.3.5 candidate targets Windows, Linux and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel).
Getting started
You must own the original game and provide your own supported disc image. The Windows setup host collects the required local inputs and builds the game on your computer. Retail BIOS files are not redistributed, and the game can also be managed through the RetComM Launcher.
Known issues & limitations
- Linux and macOS release jobs are deferred; release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64.
- Public v0.3.0 can request the wrong executable after the first local build.
- The three-platform packages are still candidates until their archives pass the required checks.
What you need to run it
How to install
- Run the title standalone using the release zip and the built-in Generate & Build flow.
