About

A static recompilation of Driver built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui, described as a native recompilation setup host. The README lists it as a 1-player, USA-region title. Release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64, and a v0.3.5 candidate targets Windows, Linux and macOS.

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 or managed through the RetComM Launcher.

Known issues & limitations

Linux and macOS release jobs are deferred; Release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64.
Public v0.3.0 can request the wrong executable after the first local build; exact-ZIP automatic relaunch is still a release gate.
The next-release packages for Windows and macOS remain candidates until they pass the listed checks.

What you need to run it

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

You must own the original game and provide a supported disc image.
Release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64.

How to install

For standalone use, get the release zip and use the built-in Generate & Build flow.
