# TetrisGBRecomp: a static recompilation of Game Boy Tetris

> TetrisGBRecomp statically translates the Game Boy Tetris version 1.0 ROM into C for native PC execution. Its configuration identifies the ROM and entry points, while a dispatch manifest supplies harvested function seeds; the gb-recompiled runtime models Game Boy graphics, audio and memory. The author reports all game modes playable.
