# WinFish: decompilation of Insaniquarium Deluxe 1.1

> WinFish decompiles Insaniquarium Deluxe 1.1 from the Windows executable. The README says the result is fully playable and still has bugs. The solution WinFish.sln uses the Visual Studio 2022 v142 toolset. A 32-bit build needs bass.dll from the original game, plus the data, properties, and fishsongs folders copied beside the solution.
