TMB_Recomp 0.2.0

Twisted Metal: Black (USA) as a native PC game, built on your PC from your own disc: nothing of the game is in this download.

What's new

Added

  • Smoother picture on high-refresh monitors, experimental (F2, Video, "Frame rate": "Match the monitor"): on a 120, 144, 165
    or 240 Hz monitor the window shows that many frames a second, the ones between the game's 60 drawn in between (the
    cars, the camera, the scenery and the smoke and sparks move smoothly; the HUD stays as the game draws it). The game
    itself still runs at 60, as it always did, and this costs one game frame (about 17 ms) more input lag. Off by
    default: "60 (the game's)" stays exactly as before. Experimental: a few effects (rain, snow, lens flares, some
    trails) still move at 60 against the smoother rest.

Changed

  • New icon for the launcher and the game window: The Bozos' clown, with its head on fire.
  • The project moved to The Bozos' GitHub organisation (github.com/TheBozos/TMB_Recomp). The launcher's update check
    and links follow; the 0.1.0 launcher still finds new releases through GitHub's redirect.

Known limits

  • Story levels 2 to 8 are not checked to the end yet.
  • No widescreen yet.
  • Only the USA disc (SCUS-97101) is supported.
  • The launcher and the game are not signed: Windows SmartScreen asks for "More info", then "Run anyway".

Download

  1. TMB_Recomp-0.2.0.zip below. Check its SHA-256 before running anything:
    Get-FileHash .\TMB_Recomp-0.2.0.zip (PowerShell) must print

    FB12CE6BAE3507F4EFD3BAB456DAA581FD5524EE112C006DD8FDC9A6E2202BC6

  2. Unzip it anywhere you like except Program Files, with about 10 GB free, and double-click TMB Launcher.exe. It is not signed: on Windows protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway.

  3. Select your USA disc image (SCUS-97101), Prepare the game (a few minutes, once), Play.

Updating from an earlier release: unzip this one where you unzipped it (the zip holds a TMB_Recomp folder; replace the files), then Rebuild now when the launcher offers it: only what changed is built again. Saves and settings are in %APPDATA%\TMB_Recomp and stay.

Source code and licences

The code is in the zip (source\) and at the commit above: our own code under the MIT licence, PS2Recomp (the runtime and recompiler it is built on) under GPL-3.0, which makes the game you build a GPL-3.0 combined work. The build kit redistributes unmodified GPL / LGPL programs (GCC, binutils, mingw-w64, the DLLs CMake loads) and FFmpeg (LGPL-2.1+): LICENSES\ in the zip has their licences, and LICENSES\SOURCES.txt lists each package with its exact source on repo.msys2.org. Their corresponding source is attached to this release as TMB_Recomp-0.2.0-sources.zip. For three years from this release we also provide it on request (GitHub issues).
