    Megaman X for the SNES gets native PC Port

    For anyone who was followed along on initial release, I've made a few updates and addressed a few bug reports. Audio and certain visuals (like fade in/out) are improved.

    Pokémon Crystal gets a PC port titled "suiCune" based on C/C++ language

    You're probably only familiar with talking to Claude or ChatGPT in a browser window. You can also use tools like Claude Code or Codex. Those run on a command line, or basically on your computer, and can be run from a folder. the AI knows enough to then navigate through all the folders so it...

    Paper Mario PC recompilation "ReCut" gets its first pre-release build

    Opus racks up costs quickly, but it is the far most capable. I've been working on making various system static recompilers with it and I found that Sonnet can't keep up with the complexity.

    Megaman X for the SNES gets native PC Port

    In theory, the dumped ROMs could be gotten to work. Most of the glue is there. There'd be some rediscovery on offsets and perhaps some functions that aren't discovered by the heuristic finder, but it's not unreasonable to think it could be done.

    Megaman X for the SNES gets native PC Port

    Got that mentioned elsewhere! Personally, I was totally unaware. It's my understanding that one has some differences to it (I think I read someone saying it didn't have ride armor, perhaps?). Being pedantic, the title is still right in it being the first SNES port to PC, since I'll assume...

    Megaman X for the SNES gets native PC Port

    Megaman X has just received it's first ever fully playable native PC port through static recompilation. This was made possible through an actively in development tool known as snesrecomp, which allows for static recompilation of SNES games. Currently, the ecosystem is still early, with Megaman...

    Feedback Review & Editorial Suggestion Box

    Not sure if the editorial team would want to pick this up given the nature of the tooling, but I figured this could be an interesting article (if not several). In short, I have 5 functioning static recompilers that are all capable of running at least one commercial title (NES, SNES, Genesis...

    SegaGenesisRecomp gets first playable title: Sonic the Hedgehog

    For sure. The spaces also interest me and I'm trying to see how I can help move the needle along. I did a tech demo for psx that had Tomba going, but I wasn't happy with the foundation, so I'm trying again but starting from the BIOS this time. Have memory cards and all that loading, but trying...

    SegaGenesisRecomp gets first playable title: Sonic the Hedgehog

    I'm not as familiar with Genesis's broader library, but I believe there are a few. I want to say Rocket Knight Adventures does in places. I think some tougher parts of the Sonic games may be here or there. My primary ambition is that this opens up extensibility and porting to other platforms...

    SegaGenesisRecomp gets first playable title: Sonic the Hedgehog

    The primary reason Sonic 1 was the game of choice wasn't due to notoriety, but the fact it has a full disassembly already available. It was one of the easier choices to ground validation on a Sega Genesis Recompiler. It'll make games 2+ easier. The real takeaway here is another Sonic the...

    SegaGenesisRecomp gets first playable title: Sonic the Hedgehog

    Sonic the Hedgehog has seen no shortage of PC ports over the years, official and otherwise, but this one is interesting for a very different reason. SegaGenesisRecomp is an early Sega Genesis / Mega Drive 68000 static recompiler, and Sonic the Hedgehog is currently serving as its first major...

    The NES game Faxanadu is now playable on PC using nesrecomp, a tool that converts NES ROMs into C code that can be compiled into native applications. The project already runs in a playable state and aims to add bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements over time. More details and technical...

    PS1 static recompiler experiment brings Tomba! closer to a native PC port

    A developer has published a write-up documenting the creation of a PlayStation 1 static recompiler despite having no prior experience with decompilation or recompilation. The project uses AI tooling (Claude Code) to assist with static analysis, debugging, and iteration while recompiling the PS1...

    "Quest 64" recompilation project is now available in alpha stages

    Nintendo 64 games are significantly easier to approach because, to my (limited) understanding, N64 games used compilers for most of the code and it allows for a predictable basis of reversing the majority of the games. The https://github.com/N64Recomp/N64Recomp tool allows for a considerable...
