tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-11
Developer arcanite24 has open-sourced gb-recompiled on GitHub. The project acts as a static recompiler that transforms Game Boy and Game Boy Color ROMs into portable C projects.
- How it works: It analyzes LR35902 assembly code, emits generated C code, and links it with an SDL2-based runtime to handle video, audio, input, and hardware timing.
- Features: It supports a generated desktop runtime and host-native patches. The repository contains no ROMs, requiring users to provide legally obtained ROM images.
