Do I need the original game files to run Devil Dice Recompilation?

Yes. The project does not include the original game's assets, so you need your own copy.

Devil Dice Recompilation

RecompilationActive

The original game's compiled code translated into a native program for a new platform, usually a PC port.

About

A static recompilation of Devil Dice built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui, distributed as an owned-input setup kit. You supply your own disc image and BIOS dump, and first-run setup generates and compiles the game on your machine. It targets the European release (disc serial SCES-01312).

Getting started

In the setup wizard select your disc image (a Redump CUE/BIN or a CHD) and your SCPH-5552 (Europe) BIOS, then run Generate & rebuild; the first run compiles the game and takes several minutes.

Known issues & limitations

Full-game completion, audio fidelity, and multiplayer support are not claimed.
Linux and macOS packages are built, but native setup and gameplay have not been verified.
Runtime snapshots from older builds are not confirmed compatible.
For discs with audio tracks, use the CUE or a CHD of the full dump; a Track 01-only BIN fails verification.

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).

On Linux and macOS, install CMake, Ninja, Python 3, and a C/C++ compiler.

Features

Ordinary memory-card saves are preserved across updates.

How to install

Download the setup ZIP for your platform from Releases and extract it into a writable folder.
Start Devil_Dice (use the .exe on Windows).
In the setup wizard, select your disc image and BIOS file, then choose Generate & rebuild and wait for the game to start; the first run takes several minutes.
