Metal Slug X Recompiled

Metal Slug X Recompiled

Static recompilation of Metal Slug X built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui.

Metal Slug X is a run and gun video game in the Metal Slug series. The PlayStation version was released in North America and PAL regions by Agetec and features the same "Combat School" mode featured in the console versions of the first two games.

Players	2
Region	USA
Publisher	Agetek, SNK
Year	2001

Scaffolded with the New Project Layout. See psxrecomp/docs/GAME_PROJECT_SETUP.md for the full flow.

Retro Launcher

You can run this title standalone (release zip + the built-in recomp-ui Generate & Build flow), or manage installs, updates, ROM/BIOS wiring, and queued builds more intuitively with Retro Launcher — the Retro Compilation Manager hub for self-compiling recomps.

Downloads · Full README & features

Retro checks for updates, rebuilds with existing build data when possible, shares the portable toolchain used by per-title launchers, and automates BIOS/ROM/save plumbing so you are not stuck repeating each game’s wizard 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; OpenBIOS is used for Generate unless you supply your own SCPH locally.

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

Quick start (dev)

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
cmake -S . -B build-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build-release --target psx-runtime

Zip prefix for CI artifacts: msx.

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.
