Case study

Nightmare Creatures II: a PlayStation local recompilation kit

Nightmare Creatures II provides a title-specific psxrecomp setup kit for the USA PlayStation release. A setup wizard accepts the user's disc image and SCPH-1001 BIOS, then generates and compiles the game locally through psxrecomp and recomp-ui. The repository includes game configuration, symbols and setup code.
