About

Martian Gothic Recompiled is a recompilation project that uses PSXRecomp and the shared recomp-ui launcher. The player must supply their own SLES-01350 game disc and a SCPH-5502/5552 Europe BIOS, and the package contains no disc, retail BIOS, generated retail game code or saved game.

Getting started

Extract the setup ZIP into a writable folder and start the launcher executable. In the setup wizard, select your CUE file and the required BIOS, then run Generate & rebuild and wait for the game to start. On Windows the wizard can download portable build tools; on Linux and macOS CMake, Ninja, Python 3 and a C/C++ compiler must be installed first.

Known issues & limitations

Package setup and gameplay acceptance are still pending; native build checks do not establish gameplay support.

What you need to run it
