About

A static recompilation of Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22 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 SLES-03736).

Getting started

Download the setup ZIP for your platform, extract it into a writable folder and start the launcher. 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

Linux and macOS setup and gameplay have not been verified.
Full-game completion, audio fidelity, and multiplayer support are not claimed.
Runtime snapshots from older builds are not confirmed compatible.
Build Up in the main menu crashed during Windows play testing on the private build; a DMA node-limit correction was accepted on a test candidate.

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).

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 Dragon_Ball_Z_Ultimate_Battle_22; use the .exe on Windows.
In the setup wizard, select your supported disc image and BIOS file.
Choose Generate & rebuild and wait for the game to start; the first run takes several minutes to compile.
