# Omega Boost Recomp

**Status: Complete / Playable**

The game has been successfully recompiled into a native application and is **complete and playable**.

## About

**Omega Boost** is a high-speed 3D action shooter for the original PlayStation. The game puts the player in control of the Omega Boost mech in a mission to travel through time and stop the creation of a computer virus threatening humanity.

This project uses **mstan's PSXRecomp tool** to recompile the original PlayStation game into native source code that can be built and run as a standalone application.
