Case study

ssrecomp: a single-screen Pokémon SoulSilver static recompilation

ssrecomp statically translates Pokémon SoulSilver's ARM9 code to C++ and runs it with a patched melonDS core supplying Nintendo DS hardware. Its frontend combines play on one screen and adds widescreen presentation and controller support. Builds generate game-specific code locally from the user's US ROM or decompilation output; the author states development has moved to another project.
