Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt: a GameCube static recompilation

The Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt port translates the USA GameCube game's PowerPC code into a native module with DolRecomp, while ModernGekko supplies graphics, audio, input and timing. Its scripts validate the user's disc and build the module; the author reports gameplay with a narrow interpreter fallback.
