Based on Mega Man Legends
Links, repository & detailsAbout
A static recompilation of Mega Man Legends built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui, shipped as a source-only Windows setup-host release for the Europe region. The README says the ports were developed by a hobbyist with substantial AI assistance. Release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64, and a v0.3.5 candidate targets Windows, Linux x64 and macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel.
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. The RetComM Launcher can optionally manage installs, updates and queued builds.
Known issues & limitations
- Linux and macOS release jobs are deferred; release 0.3.0 supports Windows x64.
- Exact-ZIP automatic relaunch remains a release gate.
What you need to run it

- The project accepts the canonical two-file Redump disc layout and the older merged dump.

- Alternatively, use RetComM Launcher to manage installs and updates.
