The author's reported result and independent confirmation are separate checks.\n\n- AI involvement\n- Model not reported. Tools: psxrecomp, recomp-ui, CMake, Ninja, Python. The writeup below describes the work attributed to AI.\n- Reported result\n- Partial. This is the directory's source-based outcome classification.\n- Independent confirmation\n- Not reported.\n- Human work and limitations\n- The project is actively maintained with recent commits as of September 2026. It uses a modular approach with submodules for core frameworks.\n\n### Original sources\n\n## What was done\n\nDriver Recompiled is a static recompilation project for the PlayStation game Driver, utilizing psxrecomp and recomp-ui to enable native execution on modern systems.\n\nDriver Recompiled is a static recompilation project for the PlayStation game Driver, built upon the psxrecomp and recomp-ui frameworks. The project functions as a native recompilation setup host, requiring users to provide their own original game disc images and retail BIOS files. The author, a DevSecOps engineer, reports that the project relies on substantial AI assistance for code generation. To maintain quality, the author states that all AI-generated code undergoes manual validation, including boot testing, hardware-oracle A/B comparisons, and deterministic replay probes. The project is associated with the R.A.I.D. (Retro AI Development) community. While Windows x64 support is established, release jobs for Linux and macOS remain deferred under a \"Wave 2 Windows-first exception.\" The project documentation notes that while AI writes most of the code, the author performs all final testing before pushing changes.
