# SaturnRecomp

> SaturnRecomp is a Sega Saturn research toolkit with a disc CLI, an SH-2 execution core, and a Windows SDL2 runner. The playable path runs SH-2 code through an interpreter and a fast path. The ahead-of-time decoder and module analysis are present, and a complete public AOT emitter is not. The Windows launcher uses Qt through PySide6. It boots a player-supplied game with a player-supplied Saturn BIOS.
