# Let's Go Recomp: statically recompiling Pokémon Let's Go for Windows

> Let's Go Recomp ports the Nintendo Switch games Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! and Let's Go, Pikachu! to Windows through static recompilation. It translates their ARM64 code to C and provides a runtime for Switch services, NVN graphics through Vulkan, audio and controllers. The build uses the player's extracted game files.
