About

DisruptorRecomp is a native PC static recompilation project for Disruptor (USA, SLUS-00224), built on PSXRecomp. The original PlayStation MIPS code is translated to C locally and compiled into a native x64 executable, so it is a static recompilation rather than an emulator wrapper, a source-code decompilation or a conventional source port. It is not yet a public release.

Getting started

Copy SLUS_002.24 and the original Mode 2 .bin and .cue files from your own Disruptor disc into the input folder, then run the build script (build.ps1 on Windows, build.sh on Linux) and the run script. The README says not to convert the disc to a 2048-byte ISO. Modern controls and widescreen are enabled with run options such as -ModernControls and -Widescreen.

Known issues & limitations

The project is not yet a public release.
The current frame interpolator crossfade is too blurry for release.

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).

Use the original Mode 2 disc layout; do not convert it to a cooked 2048-byte ISO.
A proprietary PlayStation BIOS is not required.

Features

Optional modern controls add WASD movement, mouse turning, and mouse fire and psionic actions.
The menu offers windowed, borderless fullscreen, and exclusive fullscreen modes.
The menu has an experimental draw-distance control with Retail, 1.25x, and 1.5x presets.

Controls

Modern controls use W/S to move forward/back, A/D to strafe, Space to jump, and E to use.
Modern controls use F for psionic, Q/R for weapon or psionic selection, Tab for the map, and P to pause.
Modern controls use the left mouse button to fire and the right button for psionic actions; mouse actions reach the game only while captured.
Press backquote to open or close the developer menu; Escape also closes it.
In gameplay, middle-click captures the mouse; middle-click again or press Esc to release it.

Summarised from the project's README.

Licensing & legal

No separate redistribution license has yet been selected for the project-authored source.

Additional notes

Validation: Native play through the first level is established; later levels, save/load behavior and live vertical-camera coverage remain open.
Frame cadence: The README notes the game renders one frame per two VBlanks, so unique world images advance at about 29.97 Hz.
