# ndsrecomp

> ndsrecomp is a pre-alpha static recompiler for the Nintendo DS. It lifts guest ARM code to C ahead of time, and a runtime supplies the memory bus, two-CPU scheduling, and hardware models. The README's demonstrated path includes the original firmware menu and experimental Mario Kart DS online play through Wiimmfi.

## Requirements & limits

- Version 0.6.11 is a very early pre-alpha developer snapshot without a stable API or turnkey clean-clone game build. Demonstrated targets need locally supplied BIOS, firmware, ROM and generated code banks.
- Current project code uses PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0; earlier commits and releases remain under MIT.
