# Rogue Squadron 3D: a native PC port by static recompilation

> Rogue Squadron 3D recompiles the Steam PC release of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D from x86 machine code to C with pcrecomp and runs the result in a 32-bit Windows host. The host adapts DirectDraw display handling and input, while generated code and original game files are produced or copied from the user's installation.
