# Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare — a two-disc PlayStation recompilation

> Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Recompiled configures psxrecomp to build a native program from the European two-disc PlayStation release. Its setup host validates both disc images, handles their shared executable and uses a user-supplied regional BIOS. The author reports separate startup tests for both discs; an in-game disc change remains to be tested.
