KoroKoro Post nin Recompilation

RecompilationActive

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

About

A native Windows static recompilation of KoroKoro Post nin: the game code is translated to C with psxrecomp and compiled into a native executable. The README says it is not an emulator and that the repository does not contain the game; you supply your own copy and a script builds a private copy on your PC. Boot, title, menus, intro, stage 1 and audio are reported as working, while stages 2-10, memory card and the ending are not verified yet.

How it differs from the original

An alpha Android version is described, with full-screen widescreen and mobile controls such as tilting the phone to turn the maze.

Getting started

Copy it into the data folder and run the included script; the first run downloads a portable toolchain, recompiles the game and then starts it.

Known issues & limitations

Stages 2–10, memory card, and the ending have not been verified.

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).

The Android version requires an Android 8.0 or newer phone with a 64-bit (arm64) system.

How to install

Put your CHD, or CUE and BIN, in the data folder, then run run.bat. The first run starts the game when setup finishes; later runs start it directly.
For Android, download and unzip the Android release package to a short path without accents, then put your disc files in its data folder and run run.bat.

Controls

On Android, tap a title-menu or yes/no dialog option.

Summarised from the project's README.

Additional notes

Private build: The README says never to publish the data, out or tools build folders because they contain your disc or files derived from it.
Android build: The Android version is labelled alpha, is built from a separate package, and its APK contains your disc, so it should only be installed on your own phone.
