# MLB Power Pros 2008 Recomp: a Wii static recompilation and mixed analysis workflow

> MLB Power Pros 2008 Recomp translates the Wii game's main.dol and ovl_main.rel from PowerPC to C++ with Wiicompiled for Windows and Linux builds. It adds title-specific runtime patches and editing tools for rosters, textures and stadiums. Its analysis workflow uses REA through MCP, which supports x86/x64 PE executables.
