# Recompia: a native Pokémon Pokopia build for Windows

> Recompia builds a native Windows version of the Switch 2 game Pokémon Pokopia from the user's extracted game files. The project extends pokopia-native with its own game-build code and launcher, and describes a setup process that compiles the game and prepares a shader cache. It also documents Linux use through Proton.
