# Moto Racer Recomp: a native Moto Racer port built by static recompilation

> Moto Racer Recomp translates the original Moto Racer Windows executable from a user's GOG installer into C and compiles a native program on the user's computer. Its runtime implements the Windows, DirectDraw, Direct3D, DirectSound and CD audio interfaces used by the game, with builds for Apple Silicon macOS, Windows x64 and x86-64 Linux.
