About

A static recompilation of Destruction Derby 2 built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui, described as a native recompilation setup host. The README lists 1 player and USA region. Release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64, and the next release, v0.3.5, targets Windows, Linux and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) but remains a candidate until its packages pass the required gates.

Getting started

You must own the original game and provide your own supported disc image; retail BIOS files are not redistributed. The Windows setup host collects the required local inputs and builds the game on your computer. It can be run standalone from the release zip, or managed through the separate RetComM Launcher.

Known issues & limitations

Automatic relaunch from the exact ZIP remains a release gate.

What you need to run it

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

Additional notes

Setup relaunch: Public v0.3.0 can request the wrong executable after the first local build; the v0.3.4 source corrects this.
