Case study

re:Blue — native static recompilation of Blue Dragon

re:Blue statically recompiles Blue Dragon into a native program. The setup checks a disc image from each of the three retail discs. Windows is x86-64 with DirectX 12. Linux covers AMD64 and ARM64, including SteamOS 3.6. macOS is ARM64 and needs macOS 13.3 or later. cmake --preset win-amd64-release and cmake --build --preset win-amd64-release build it. The same presets exist for linux-amd64, linux-arm64, mac-amd64, and mac-arm64. The build uses the ReXGlue SDK.
