# SuperMetroidSNESRecomp: a selective 65816 static recompilation

> SuperMetroidSNESRecomp translates selected Super Metroid 65816 functions into native C with snesrecomp and executes other paths from the user's ROM through an interpreter. Its game-specific runtime adds optional rendering and gameplay features plus replay capture for diagnosing divergences. The author reports boot, demo, door traversal, pause and ship-save checks while broader progression testing continues.
