# fefw-recomp: a static recompilation of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave

> fefw-recomp translates the Nintendo Switch 2 game Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave into C++ for a native Windows port. Its AArch64 recompiler processes game modules, and a companion runtime supplies console services and Vulkan graphics. A launcher prepares the program from the user's decrypted game dump.
