Static recompilation of TwistedMetal4 built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui.
Twisted Metal 4 is the fourth installment in the Twisted Metal series and the second and last installment to be developed by 989 Studios. The game's plot centers on Sweet Tooth, the long-time mascot of the titular Twisted Metal competition, overthrowing Calypso, the mysterious organizer of the competition, in a coup d'état. He then takes over the mantle of granting the winner of the competition a single wish, regardless of price, size or even reality.

Scaffolded with the New Project Layout. See
psxrecomp/docs/GAME_PROJECT_SETUP.md for the full flow.
You can run this title standalone (release zip + the built-in recomp-ui Generate & Build flow), or manage installs, updates, ROM/BIOS wiring, and queued builds more intuitively with RetComM Launcher — the Retro Compilation Manager hub for self-compiling recomps.
Downloads · Full README & features
RetComM checks for updates, rebuilds with existing build data when possible, shares the portable toolchain used by per-title launchers, and automates BIOS/ROM/save plumbing so you are not stuck repeating each game’s wizard by hand.
You must own the original game. Disc images under disc/ are gitignored and
must never be committed. Retail BIOS dumps are not redistributed; OpenBIOS is
used for Generate unless you supply your own SCPH locally.
Optional box art under launcher_assets/img/ may come from
libretro-thumbnails
(Named_Boxarts); see BOXART_SOURCE.txt when present.

Submodule gitlinks (psxrecomp, optional recomp-ui, nested recomp-net)
are authoritative. framework_pins.txt is an optional scaffold snapshot;
release CI logs SHAs with record_pins.sh but builds whatever the gitlinks
resolve to. Bump submodules deliberately — do not float on main/master
in release CI.
