# GBA-Recomp

> GBA-Recomp is a Rust static-recompilation toolkit and runtime for Game Boy Advance cartridges. It translates a ROM ahead of time into a native executable, and the runtime models the PPU, APU, DMA, timers, IRQ, saves, input, and RTC. The README says the user supplies a BIOS and a game, and that the project is dual-licensed MIT or Apache-2.0.
