TombaRecomp v0.11.0-alpha — CHD + Fast Loading mod

on GitHub

Tomba! Recompiled v0.11.0-alpha makes authentic loading and strict selected-device controller routing the baseline.

Highlights

• Direct .chd mounting with embedded track metadata and CD audio through integrity-pinned libchdr support.
• A new Fast Loading mod, disabled by default. One bounded dropdown makes host-pacing modes (2x, 4x recommended, 8x, 16x, uncapped) mutually exclusive with experimental guest-visible CD timing (2x, 4x, bounded instant).
• Turbo loads, disc acceleration, idle skipping, and the old warm-disc route are all off by default. Host acceleration stops immediately when the sustained load ends.
• PSX_DEV_INPUT is now explicit opt-in, preventing unrelated devices or keyboard state from leaking into normal Hybrid controls.
• Standards-compliant release ZIP paths, verified with zero backslash entries.

Implemented in Tomba PR #17 and PSXRecomp PR #100. The PR references #5, #10, #12, and #14; no comments were posted to those issue threads.

The package includes OpenBIOS and does not include Tomba disc data, a retail BIOS, or save data.

Experimental Linux AppImage

An experimental Linux x86-64 AppImage is available alongside the Windows ZIP. It includes OpenBIOS and the same six default-off preloaded mods, but no game disc or Sony BIOS.

Writable state is kept outside the read-only AppImage under ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/TombaRecomp: settings, memory cards, installed mods, keybinds, and caches persist across relaunches, upgrades, and moving the AppImage. Set TOMBA_RECOMP_DATA_DIR to override that location.

Make it executable before launching: chmod +x TombaRecomp-v0.11.0-alpha-linux-x86_64.AppImage.
