Tekken 3 Recompilation

About

A static recompilation of Tekken 3 (USA) for the PlayStation 1, built on the PSXRecomp framework, which turns the MIPS R3000A code into C and then native x64. The game runs as a single binary without an emulator, and the README describes it as playable with full rendering, input and memory-card saves.

How it differs from the original

Includes a patch to the CD audio handler that ignores repeated Play commands, which the README says otherwise cause the music to stutter or restart. It is also configured for HD scaling through settings.toml, with 2x supersampling and nearest-neighbor filtering, and the window title shows the game's real internal frame rate.

Getting started

Download a release, extract it, place your own .cue and .bin files in the release folder, set the disc path in game.toml, and run Tekken3Recomp.exe.
