A static recompilation kit for the European PS1 release (both discs, SLES-01370 and SLES-11370) for Windows, Linux, and macOS, built with psxrecomp and the recomp-ui launcher. It’s a separate project from coccofresco’s. The published releases are setup kits: a wizard checks your disc and your BIOS, generates the game’s code, and builds it on your PC; on Windows it can download portable build tools. It isn’t confirmed to be playable yet: the README says gameplay testing is still pending and that building it doesn’t prove the game works, and v0.1.1 states that it makes no claim about gameplay quality. On Windows, automated checks cover disc verification, generation, building, launch, and closing; the Linux and macOS packages haven’t been tested on those systems. The game uses the OpenGL renderer, in 4:3. v0.1.1 (September 30) is the latest of 2 releases: it fixes 0.1.0, which asked for the wrong BIOS and looped back to the setup screen after building. The README says the project was made with AI assistance on code, documentation, and investigation, and that Alex tests the game and decides what gets released.
You needYour own images of both Metal Gear Solid discs for PS1, European release (SLES-01370 and SLES-11370), as Redump CUE/BIN; the wizard checks the exact BIN, so CHD and other formats won’t work, and the second disc is needed when the game asks for it. Also your own European SCPH-5502 or SCPH-5552 BIOS (524,288 bytes). Plus Windows x64, Linux x64, or macOS (Apple silicon or Intel); Linux and macOS need CMake, Ninja, Python 3, and a C and C++ compiler.

If this is your project, you can add it to its README: it shows its status on Recompendium and updates itself when the status changes.
