# James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod — an Amiga static recompilation

> James Pond 2: Codename RoboCod — Recompiled turns the Amiga game's 68000 instructions into native C++ using a user-provided disk image. Its runtime models Amiga memory, display, audio, and disk behavior, with an interpreter for code the recompiler has not reached; the port also adds widescreen rendering and save controls.
