Tsumu Light Recomp v0.0.2

🛠️ Critical boot fix + self-contained package

If v0.0.1 failed to start or closed itself moments after launch, this release is the fix.

• Boot fix. v0.0.1 relied on a reference copy of the game's boot executable that only exists in a development checkout (it's game data, so it is never shipped in the zip). Without it, the runtime's text-integrity guard never armed — the guard the English-translation layer also depends on. The runtime now extracts that reference directly from your disc image (the same bytes the BIOS boots), so it works on every install.
• Self-contained exe. v0.0.1 shipped loose MinGW DLLs (SDL2.dll, libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, …) that could collide with copies elsewhere on your system (0xc000007b on launch). v0.0.2 is a single statically-linked executable importing only Windows system DLLs.
• The package now ships game.toml, the English translations/ tables, release notes, and a START_HERE.txt.

Everything from v0.0.1 carries forward: playable end to end via instant boot, runtime English fan-translation (launcher → Localization), integrated launcher, keyboard/DualShock support.

As always: bring your own legally obtained PS1 BIOS (SCPH1001.BIN — the standard US BIOS works; the default instant boot skips the console's region check) and Tsumu Light (Japan, SLPS-02253) disc image — see START_HERE.txt in the zip.

Tsumu Light Recomp v0.0.1

Caution

This build can fail to start on user machines (a reference file needed by the runtime's text-integrity guard only exists in development checkouts), and it ships loose MinGW DLLs that can collide with copies elsewhere on your system. Download v0.0.2 instead.

Tsumu Light Recomp — Release Notes

v0.0.1 — 2026-07-06

First public release. Tsumu Light (Japan, SLPS-02253) statically recompiled to a
native Windows executable on the PSXRecomp
framework.

Highlights

• Playable end to end — boots via instant HLE boot straight into the game.
• English fan-translation applied at runtime: HUD, menus, stage names, and
  the memory-card save/format/quit dialogs. Selectable in the launcher
  (Settings → Localization: English default, or Default for the
  untranslated original).
• Integrated launcher (RmlUi) for video, audio, controller, memory-card, and
  localization settings. Digital-pad only (Tsumu is a digital game), so the
  pad-mode picker is hidden.
• Controller support — keyboard or a DualShock/DualSense, chosen in the
  launcher's device dropdown.

Notes

• Requires your own legally obtained Tsumu Light disc and a PS1 BIOS
  (SCPH1001.BIN); NTSC-J region. Neither is distributed here.
• Generated recomp C, the disc image, BIOS, memory cards, and launcher cover art
  are produced/supplied locally and are not part of this repository.
