AI Usage Notice

This project may use AI-assisted tools for development, documentation, artwork, or other supporting materials.

All AI-assisted content is reviewed before inclusion.

Legal

This repository does not include the original game disc images or a retail PlayStation BIOS. You must provide your own legally obtained copy of the game.

No ownership claim is made over the original Valkyrie Profile game or its copyrighted assets.

Disc images, saves, local BIOS files and build outputs are excluded by .gitignore and must not be committed to this repository.

Getting the source

Clone the repository with its submodules:

git clone --recursive <repository-url>
cd ValkyrieRecomp

If you already cloned it without submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Disc setup

The project expects the two USA discs at these relative locations when building or testing locally:

disc/Disc1/Valkyrie Profile (USA) (Disc 1).cue
disc/Disc2/Valkyrie Profile (USA) (Disc 2).cue

The disc/ directory is intentionally ignored by Git.

Building

A typical Release build uses CMake and Ninja:

./psxrecomp/tools/ci/build_emitters.sh
python3 psxrecomp/psxrecomp_cli.py generate \
  --config game.toml --project-root . \
  --disc "disc/Disc1/Valkyrie Profile (USA) (Disc 1).cue"
cmake -S . -B build-release -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build-release --target psx-runtime

On Windows, use an environment with the required compiler/toolchain and PowerShell 7 where required by the project scripts.

Widescreen

The launcher currently offers:

• 4:3 — original aspect ratio
• 16:9 — optional widescreen mode

Known issues

• Compatibility and performance testing across different PCs is still ongoing.
• Some framework/runtime behavior may differ depending on hardware and drivers.
• Mid-session disc swapping may still depend on the current PSXRecomp runtime implementation; disc selection between runs is supported by the launcher.

Releases

Prebuilt binaries are distributed through the repository's Releases page. Build directories and executables generated locally are not stored in the main source tree.

Framework

This project uses the following repositories as Git submodules:

• mstan/psxrecomp
• mstan/recomp-ui

Keep the pinned submodule revisions when creating reproducible releases.
