About

Tokyo Highway Battle Recompiled is a recompilation project that uses PSXRecomp and the shared recomp-ui launcher. The player must supply their own SLUS-00229 game disc and a SCPH-5502/5552 Europe BIOS, and the package contains no disc, retail BIOS, generated retail game code or saved game. Version 0.1.0 is a release candidate, with package setup and gameplay acceptance still pending.
