# SMM2 Recomp: a Super Mario Maker 2 static recompilation

> SMM2 Recomp translates Super Mario Maker 2 v3.0.3 AArch64 code into C ahead of time and builds it for native platforms. Its runtime supplies Switch system services and renders NVN graphics through Metal or Vulkan. The launcher generates game-derived code and data locally from the player's dump.
