TMB_Recomp 0.3.0

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

  • The launcher updates the game itself: when a new version is out, "Update" on the Play tab downloads it, checks
    it, installs it over this one and restarts the launcher; then "Rebuild now" prepares the game again (only what
    changed). Your saves and settings stay. Unzipping a new release by hand still works too.

Changed

  • Smoother frame times: the game does less work each frame (about 2 ms less per frame in our tests), so slower PCs
    drop fewer frames in busy fights. The lens flares no longer read the whole picture back from the graphics card
    each frame.

Known limits

  • Players on 0.1.0 or 0.2.0 update to this version by hand one last time (unzip it over the old one, then Rebuild);
    from 0.3.0 on, the launcher's Update button does it.
  • 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-0.3.0.zip below. Check its SHA-256 before running anything:
    Get-FileHash .\TMB_Recomp-0.3.0.zip (PowerShell) must print

    6A1E03ABDA3BA6ACF917E9AAF7C447D6EB85F6B47DA977A0BD0CA9E6E4A3226C

  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-0.3.0-sources.zip. For three years from this release we also provide it on request (GitHub issues).
