# BombermanRecomp: statically recompiling Super Bomberman for Windows

> BombermanRecomp statically recompiles the North American SNES release of Super Bomberman into a native Windows program. A pinned snesrecomp engine generates C from a hash-checked user ROM; the project adds an interactive Win32 host with video, audio and SRAM persistence plus a deterministic headless host. Its changelog reports battle gameplay in a 3,000-frame test.
