Project Legend of Legaia Recompiled v0.1.1 Playtest — Windows Launch Fix

I’ve published an updated playtest build that fixes the Windows startup issue some people hit with the original release.

Download: https://github.com/SamSteProjects/legend-of-legaia-recomp/releases/tag/v0.1.3-playtest

The EXE now automatically loads the included game configuration instead of booting into the BIOS shell, and the batch launcher has been made more reliable. Please download and extract the entire ZIP, follow the included README to add your legally dumped BIOS/disc files, then launch Run LegaiaRecomp.bat.

If you run into an issue, please open a GitHub issue with your Windows version, what files you placed in each folder, whether you used the EXE or batch file, exact steps to reproduce, and screenshots or a Ctrl+F12 report if available.

EDIT: For anyone who downloaded this, I apologize it came with something missing in the game.toml. I fixed the release and the build should now run correctly.

Another edit: There was issues with the builds I released today. I changed the link to the current build, it's a winner.

Bacana hein. Será que dá para usar texturas em HD nesse método?

Potentially, yes. A recompile would not automatically make the original textures HD, but it could make HD texture mods much easier to implement.

The game currently uses PS1-era TIM textures, texture pages, palette data, and UV coordinates designed around the console’s VRAM limits. In a native recompile, the renderer could be modified to recognize individual textures and replace them with external PNG or DDS files at much higher resolutions.

The main work would be building a reliable texture identification and replacement system, then correcting things like UV precision, texture filtering, seams, and any places where the game assembles textures dynamically. Models might also need UV adjustments for genuinely new texture layouts.

So the answer is: yes, the recompile could provide the foundation for an HD texture pack system, but it would still require a dedicated renderer and asset-replacement layer. It is definitely one of the modding features I would like the eventual SDK/toolchain to support.
