# Bunghole in One: statically recompiling a Win32 mini-golf game

> Bunghole in One statically recompiles the 1998 Windows mini-golf game's EXE and DLL into C with pcrecomp, generating the lifted code from a user's own disc. A 32-bit host binds the modules and provides software DirectDraw, while a conformance harness tracks boot and play milestones.
