# WarioRecomp: a native Wario Land: Shake It! port by static recompilation

> WarioRecomp builds a native PC port of the US Wii release of Wario Land: Shake It! by statically recompiling its PowerPC code to C++ with WiiCompiled. Native libraries replace Wii video, audio, controller, disc and save services, while the launcher imports the user's disc and builds the port locally.
