jype0/dw_decomp
Work-in-progress decompilation of Digimon World for PS1. The README gives no further detail on target version or status.
Digimon World
repo TBD
A static recompilation of the US release for Windows, made with the author’s own fork of psxrecomp and the recomp-ui launcher, with the game’s functions mapped using the dw_decomp decompilation. It isn’t an emulator and isn’t published prebuilt: 0.3.5, from September 4, is a setup package of about 29 MB with no game data, and the first time you open it, it builds the program from your disc, a process of 10 to 30 minutes that downloads about 100 MB of build tools. It offers widescreen in 16:9 or 16:10 without stretching the picture, high resolution, save states, rewind, and a mod menu, all off by default: an expanded roster that adds 52 Digimon you can raise and evolve, training and care tweaks, quality-of-life changes, and 57 GameShark-style cheats. Saving works as in the original, by putting your partner to sleep. Widescreen has known rough edges, such as a brief return to 4:3 after battles. All 51 of its commits are on GitLab, and 48 list Claude as a co-author.
You needYour own US Digimon World disc (SLUS-01032), as a .bin and .cue pair (the .bin is 381,771,936 bytes with SHA-1 5611645da66183e30d11fb6c11a2784ff47e1fdb); a plain .iso doesn’t work. Plus 64-bit Windows, Python 3 added to PATH, about 5 GB free, and an internet connection to download the build tools.
