Medal of Honor PSX Recomp

Medal of Honor Recompiled + Full 6dof VR

Static recompilation of Medal of Honor built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui.

Play the original game on a flat display, or opt into the experimental native VR alpha with head tracking, per-eye rendering and tracked-weapon controls. Flat play is the default; VR is enabled through a separate launcher.

The v0.1.6 Windows native alpha is available from this fork's releases. See alpha installation and controls before testing.

Retro Launcher

You can run this title standalone (download the release zip, point it at your disc, play), or manage installs, updates, and disc/BIOS wiring with Retro Launcher — the Retro Compilation Manager hub for self-compiling recomps.

Downloads · Full README & features

Retro checks for updates, installs the prebuilt release zips, and automates BIOS/ROM/save plumbing so you are not stuck repeating each game’s first run by hand.

Legal

You must own the original game. Disc images under disc/ are gitignored and must never be committed. Retail BIOS dumps are not redistributed and no C derived from one may be committed; releases run on the bundled MIT OpenBIOS.

generated/ (the recompiled game C) is committed: releases ship the compiled game, built by CI from that tree. Regenerate and commit it whenever seeds or the framework pin change.

Default app icon: assets/psxrecomp.ico (and .png / .svg) — Retro-themed controller mark from psxrecomp/assets/. Windows builds embed it via APP_ICON.

Optional box art under launcher_assets/img/ may come from libretro-thumbnails (Named_Boxarts); see BOXART_SOURCE.txt when present.

Flat play

Launch Medal_of_Honor__Recompiled.exe normally and select your own disc image in the launcher. No headset is required. The supported disc is SLUS-00974 (NTSC-U); game data is not included. The Windows release also includes RunFlat.bat, which clears VR overrides.

For a local Windows build, launch from the project root in a fresh terminal:

.\build-release\Medal_of_Honor__Recompiled.exe --game game.toml --disc "C:\Games\Medal of Honor\medal-of-honor.cue"

Replace the example disc path with your own. Add --no-launcher to boot directly. OpenXR support can be compiled into the same executable while ordinary launches retain flat rendering and normal controller input. VR environment overrides should be absent for flat play; the VR wrapper restores its process environment when it exits.

RunVR-VDXR.bat -Desktop is a stereo diagnostic mode, not the ordinary flat launch.

Experimental VR alpha (Windows)

The current v0.1.6 Alpha fixes the missing nearby floor and world shakiness during head movement, and prevents overload shedding from flashing black frames. It retains tracked weapons, the hand-anchored native HUD, desktop spectator mirror, barrel laser, and 1080p default. Production builds disable heavyweight debug instrumentation. The owner considers this build playable on Quest 3 through Virtual Desktop with VDXR; demanding scenes can still slow down.

Setup and launch

Download the Windows release and extract the entire ZIP. Connect your headset and double-click the launcher for your runtime: RunVR-VDXR.bat (Virtual Desktop VDXR), RunVR-SteamVR.bat or RunVR-Oculus.bat (Meta Quest Link / Air Link). Each selects that runtime for the launch and leaves the system's active runtime unchanged. Select your own SLUS-00974 (NTSC-U) CUE/BIN image when prompted; the launcher remembers its location. Keep the BIN files beside the CUE.

Boot videos, menus and briefing appear on a screen in VR; gameplay switches to per-eye rendering. No save state, Python installation or development tools are required. The game runs until you close it, and startup errors remain visible in the console. Keep your saves/ folder when updating.

To select a disc explicitly:

.\RunVR-VDXR.bat -DiscPath "C:\Games\Medal of Honor\medal-of-honor.cue"

Use RunFlat.bat for ordinary flat play. See ALPHA_README.md for further installation details and alpha limitations.

Current Touch controls

Control	Gameplay
Left stick	Move / strafe
Right stick	Smooth turn
Right trigger	Fire
A	Use
B	Cycle weapon
X	Reload / use, according to game context
Right stick click	Toggle crouch
Left stick click	Jump
Left Menu button	Pause / Start
Right grip	Hold to show the barrel laser (ends on the surface it hits)
Left grip	Hold to aim a mounted machine gun with one stick

In menus, the left stick navigates, A or right trigger confirms, and B goes back.

The barrel laser is a laser sight on the tracked weapon: hold the right grip and the beam runs from the muzzle to whatever it hits, with a dot marking the impact. It appears for firearms only.

A mounted machine gun aims with a single stick: hold the left grip and one hand covers both traverse and elevation. Let go and normal movement returns.

Report issues and contribute

Report problems in this fork's issue tracker. Include the build version, headset, OpenXR runtime, connection method, mission/location, steps to reproduce, and any relevant captures. Mention whether the issue also occurs in flat play. Do not attach disc images or retail BIOS dumps.

For development context, start with the VR handoff and alpha todo list. Game-specific weapons, controls and HUD changes belong here; generic framework work is tracked in the upstream inventory.

Development build

git submodule update --init --recursive
./psxrecomp/tools/ci/build_emitters.sh
python3 psxrecomp/psxrecomp_cli.py generate \
  --config game.toml --project-root . --disc disc/<your>.cue
git add generated && git commit -m "Regenerate game C"
cmake -S . -B build-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DPSXRECOMP_BIOS_STEMS=OpenBIOS
cmake --build build-release --target psx-runtime

For Windows VR, configure the Release build with -DPSX_OPENXR=ON, or use RunVR-VDXR.bat -Build after preparing the build tools and generated game C. Compiling OpenXR support does not automatically enable VR when launching the executable.

Releases v0.1.0 through v0.1.3 use locally verified Windows alpha packages. CI builds its platform matrix without replacing those tested assets. Other tags vX.Y.Z (or the Release builds workflow) build the committed generated/ C on Linux, Windows and macOS and attach moh-<version>-<platform>.zip, the compiled game. Locally: scripts/package_release.sh build-release linux-x64. Windows packaging requires OpenXR and TCP startup inspection to be enabled (-DPSX_OPENXR=ON -DPSX_DEBUG_TOOLS=ON), and includes both launchers.

Symbols

Progressive map: symbols.toml → python3 tools/sync_symbols.py → psx_symbols.h (PSX_FN_*). See psxrecomp/docs/SYMBOLS.md.

Framework pins

Submodule gitlinks (psxrecomp, optional recomp-ui, nested recomp-net) are authoritative. framework_pins.txt is an optional scaffold snapshot; release CI logs SHAs with record_pins.sh but builds whatever the gitlinks resolve to. Bump submodules deliberately — do not float on main/master in release CI.
