# Wii Party: a native Windows and Linux recompilation

> This statically recompiles Wii Party to Windows and experimental Linux. The DOL and all 115 REL modules translate. 4,152 tests check every instruction kind the game uses. Graphics go from GX to Direct3D 11. The frame rate is locked at 60 fps PAL60, at up to 6 times the console resolution, using about 600 MB of RAM. Every one of the 79 Free Play minigames and a full 17-round Board Game Island session have been played. The offline Windows archive is wiipartyrecomp-offline-windows.zip, about 185 MB.
