# Blue Stinger Recompiled: a Dreamcast static recompilation

> Blue Stinger Recompiled translates the Dreamcast game's SH-4 code instruction by instruction into C++20 for a Windows x64 port. Its builder extracts a user-supplied CDI disc image and generates the executable, while native PC implementations replace file, input, save, movie, audio and graphics services; the author compares behavior with Flycast.
