NSMBWiicompiled: a Windows static recompilation of New Super Mario Bros. Wii

NSMBWiicompiled converts New Super Mario Bros. Wii PAL revision 1 into a native Windows game through static recompilation. Its translator parses PowerPC code from Wii DOL files and emits C++ for a native runtime, while the player's disc supplies game assets. The port adds resolution, widescreen, input and multiplayer options.
