TMB_Recomp 0.3.1

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

Changed

  • Faster: the game now needs about a third less processor time per frame than in 0.3.0 (in our tests a busy
    match went from about 7.5 to 5 milliseconds of work per frame, out of the 16.7 a frame lasts at 60 frames per
    second). Older or slower PCs that dropped below 60 in big fights or in split screen should hold it much better.
    Nothing changes in how the game looks or plays.

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-0.3.1.zip below. Check its SHA-256 before running anything:
    Get-FileHash .\TMB_Recomp-0.3.1.zip (PowerShell) must print

    58A6382E17E1DF6C194F69285CF05979B42ABAFF0E95F5494E315D863F5C9E35

  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-0.3.1-sources.zip. For three years from this release we also provide it on request (GitHub issues).
