About

A static recompilation of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for modern systems, built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui. It requires your own game disc and a legal SCPH-1001 BIOS dump, and the README says it was developed by a hobbyist with substantial AI assistance and validated against hardware-oracle comparisons.

Getting started

Setup packages require your legally owned game disc and a supported retail BIOS, and are described as targeting Windows x64, Linux x64 and macOS. Developers can generate the game from a disc image with the psxrecomp command line tool and then build the runtime with CMake.

Known issues & limitations

The setup packages are not yet published; release depends on package tests and authorization passing.
