About

Koudelka Recompiled is a static recompilation of Koudelka built on the psxrecomp framework and the recomp-ui launcher, described as a native recompilation setup host. The README says release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64 and that a later release candidate targets Windows, Linux and macOS.

The planned Windows, Linux, and macOS packages remain candidates until their required tests pass.
