Wipeout XL Recompiled: PSXRecomp port of Wipeout XL
Wipeout XL Recompiled is an unofficial PSXRecomp project for Wipeout XL (USA), SCUS-94351. Setup kits for Windows 10/11 x64, Linux x64, and macOS 15 on Intel and Apple Silicon generate the game code on the user's machine from a Redump-style CUE and all 12 BIN tracks. The runtime uses OpenBIOS and SDL3.
