The Simpsons Wrestling Recompiled v1.0.0

The Simpsons Wrestling Recompiled v1.0.0

The Simpsons Wrestling (PlayStation, USA) as a native Windows and Linux program: the original game code translated to C and compiled for your PC, with a launcher and the options of a modern PC release.

No game files are included. You need your own disc image of The Simpsons Wrestling, North American release (SLUS-01227), as a .cue + .bin. The launcher asks for it the first time you open it and checks that it is the right disc; the game then reads it where it is.

What's in it

• 16:9 widescreen in matches, with real extra picture and the HUD at the screen edges
• HD rendering up to 8K, or matching your screen, with smooth outlines and stable (wobble-free) geometry
• 60 FPS in matches at the original game speed: jumps, throws and walking move exactly as far as at 30
• 120 FPS (experimental): an extra in-between frame drawn by the game itself; the launcher explains its limits when you pick it
• Intro skipped and everything unlocked (all wrestlers, both circuits, Bonus Match Up), both optional
• Fast loading for the loading screens
• Controllers picked up whenever you switch them on, automatic set-up for two players, button remapping, vibration strength and stick deadzone; full keyboard remapping
• Launcher: monitor choice, fill-the-screen, CRT filter and scanlines, volume and sound delay, save folder shortcut
• Updates: the launcher checks GitHub for new versions when it opens and installs them with one click, keeping your settings and saves

Install

Windows:

1. Unzip anywhere.
2. Run SimpsonsWrestling.exe, the only program in the folder. The launcher opens; the game, your settings and your saves live in the game folder next to it.
3. On the Game page, click Browse for the .cue file... and pick your disc image (or drop the .cue onto the window).
4. Press PLAY.

Windows may show a SmartScreen warning because the program is not code-signed: More info > Run anyway.

Linux: make the AppImage executable (chmod +x, or right-click > Properties > Permissions), run it, and pick your disc the same way. The program, your settings and your saves go into a SimpsonsWrestling-data folder next to the AppImage.

Known issues

• Pausing a match in widescreen puts the TAUNT labels back at their 4:3 positions and darkens only the middle until you unpause.
• 120 FPS (experimental): the ring spotlight can flicker, and on most PCs only some frames get an in-between image.
• The game's own Options menu starts with Vibration off; turn it on there.
• The Linux AppImage has been tested under WSL, not yet on a native Linux install or a Steam Deck.
