Original game imageAbout
A static recompilation for PC of Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout for PlayStation, based on PSXRecomp and recomp-ui. The original MIPS code is recompiled as native Windows code and integrated into an independent executable with a launcher, mod support and rendering settings. The README says it is not a traditional emulator and lists it as v0.1.1, 1-2 players, USA serial SLUS-00493, a 3D fighting game.
How it differs from the original
Widescreen can be enabled for 16:9 or adaptive presentation, while keeping it disabled gives a faithful 4:3 presentation. A Vulkan renderer is available as an experimental option, and a separate PGXP precision variant is included for testing.
Getting started
The game and its data are not distributed: you must provide files from your legally owned USA copy (SLUS-00493), as described in a baserom file in the repository. Download the setup-host zip for Windows, extract it, then run the executable or the included launcher, which may request the game files on first setup.
Known issues & limitations
- Some 2D menus may briefly show a 4:3 pillarbox transition when scenes change.
- Experimental FOV/culling is disabled for stability.
- Online ICE/TURN netplay is not enabled.
- The Little Goku vs Piccolo transition still needs manual in-game validation.
