Rising Zan Recompiled

What you need: A disc image of Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman (USA, SLUS-00829), dumped from your own copy, as .cue/.bin.

Rising Zan Recompiled is a native port of Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman for Windows, made by static recompilation with mstan’s PSXRecomp and the recomp-ui launcher. It targets the USA release (SLUS-00829) and is one of a batch of PlayStation recompilations omegakatana92 published in September 2026.

The launcher selects the disc and settings, and the open-source OpenBIOS is built in, so no BIOS dump is needed; a retail BIOS can be chosen instead. The PSXRecomp runtime also offers optional enhancements such as faster loading and PGXP geometry correction.

The README gives no playability status, and there are no independent reports of how far it runs. The Windows zip is a copy of the author’s build folder rather than a packaged release. The download contains no game data. It needs Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman (USA, SLUS-00829), dumped from your own disc.

How to set it up

1. Download the Windows zip.
2. Extract the zip (it holds the author’s whole build folder) and run Rising_Zan___The_Samurai_Gunman_Recompiled.exe inside it.
3. In the launcher, select your disc image; a .cue with its .bin tracks beside it is preferred.
4. Keep the built-in OpenBIOS selected, or browse to a BIOS dump from your own console, then start the game.
