# Extreme-G Recompiled: an incomplete N64 static recompilation

> Extreme-G Recompiled analyzes the N64 game's custom LZSS ROM blocks and prepares its MIPS code for N64Recomp translation to C for a native Windows build. The project includes function symbols and an SDL2/RT64 runtime scaffold; the author reports that startup reaches audio initialization before crashing because a data section is uninitialized.
