Tomba! Special Edition - Githubissues

The game itself is located in ./assets/data/ There is a "t_data_e.car" (PAL) and "t_data_u.car" (NTSC) file. Both of these are actually just .bin files. Renaming them to be .bin files made them playable in Duckstation.

Some bonus information:

Every single .pak file found in the game can easily be opened & extracted with 7-Zip.
They seem to be using some version of PCSX ReARMed to emulate the game.
Replacing the .car file with a different .bin file (any game) will work ONLY if you dummy out the "t_start_u.stt" file found in ./assets/game/ as this file seems to have some sort of protection in it that won't allow other games to boot otherwise.

Does it contain BIOS files as well?

RealRelativeEase commented 2 months ago

I don't have the game myself, but PCSX Rearmed doesn't seem to require a PS1 BIOS because it's listed as optional. None of the files listed on SteamDB look like they're a BIOS so I guess there isn't one in this game. But you can extract a PS1 BIOS from a PS3 update using a fanmade tool.

as far as I can tell, it does not. Previous poster is right as well, PCSX ReARMed doesn't require a BIOS.
