# WiiCompiled: a static recompilation of Mario Kart Wii for PC

> WiiCompiled turns a user-supplied Mario Kart Wii disc image into a native PC application through PowerPC static recompilation. Its translator parses Wii DOL files, lifts instructions through IR and SSA, emits C++, and compiles the output with a runtime; project manifests select game revisions and input layouts.
