Based on Twisted Metal
Original game imageAbout
A work-in-progress matching decompilation of the 1995 PlayStation game Twisted Metal (NTSC-J, SIPS-60007). It matches code and data against a ROM made by removing the PSX-EXE header from the original code and data, so the result can be shifted and freely modified rather than being a byte-matching PSX-EXE or .SYM file.
Getting started
Building needs a digital copy of the PlayStation game, a Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux or WSL environment, the system packages listed in the repository and uv for Python packages. Windows is currently unsupported.
