N64: Recompiled is an open-source recompilation framework designed to translate Nintendo 64 game binaries into modern, portable C code that can be compiled and executed natively on contemporary systems. Instead of relying on traditional emulation, which interprets instructions at runtime, N64Recomp focuses on static recompilation, converting MIPS-based N64 binaries into readable and buildable source code. This approach allows developers to run classic games with improved performance, lower latency, and better integration with modern hardware and operating systems. The framework provides tools for analyzing ROMs, reconstructing program logic, and generating code that preserves the original game’s behavior while enabling modifications and enhancements. ...

...The project addresses one of the most complex aspects of console reverse engineering, which is accurately reproducing proprietary GPU behavior in a portable and efficient way. By reconstructing the graphics pipeline, XenosRecomp enables developers to render scenes correctly without relying on emulation layers that can introduce performance overhead or inaccuracies.

PSX is a minimalist software project that emulates the visual and rendering characteristics of the original PlayStation 1 graphics pipeline, focusing on recreating its distinctive aesthetic rather than full hardware emulation. The project demonstrates how limitations of early 3D hardware, such as affine texture mapping, low precision depth calculations, and lack of perspective correction, contributed to the recognizable visual style of PS1-era games. It is often used as an educational or creative tool for developers interested in retro rendering techniques or stylized graphics design. ...
