Decompiled Games
Decompiled games are console games whose original source code has been rebuilt from the retail executable. This page lists every decompilation project on Recompedia, complete and in progress — projects rebuilding a console game's original machine code as readable C or C++, judged by one test: whether the rebuilt code compiles into exactly the original executable. Each entry names the disc or cartridge version it targets, and the status column shows how far it has come.

Decompilation differs from recompilation. A recomp translates a game's code automatically into a native PC program. A decompilation reconstructs the source code itself; it usually rebuilds the original console executable, and native PC ports are frequently built on top of it afterwards.
A few are effectively complete: Resident Evil Code: Veronica X and Perfect Dark rebuild the retail executable exactly, and Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is at 99.9%. Most others, like the Twilight Princess and Persona 4 decomps, are still matching, and their pages show the current share of matched code where the project publishes it.

Decompilation vs recompilation
| Decompilation | Recompilation | |
|---|---|---|
| Input | The game's retail executable | The game's retail executable |
| Method | Reconstructed by hand into readable C and C++ | Translated automatically into C and C++ |
| Output | Source code that rebuilds the original executable | A native PC or browser program |
| Runs on PC directly | Only through ports built on top of it | Yes: that is the output |
| Example projects | zeldaret/oot, OpenGOAL, pmret/papermario | Zelda64Recompiled, Unleashed Recompiled, PS2 Web Recomp |

By platform
Recompedia does not host or link to ROMs, BIOS files or game assets. Every project listed requires a copy of the original game owned by the player.
Decompilation FAQ
What are decompiled games?
Games whose original machine code is being rebuilt as readable C or C++ by a community project, so that compiling the source reproduces the original executable exactly. Some projects listed here are complete; most are works in progress, and every row shows its current status. The result is source code and knowledge, not a PC port by itself.
Is a decompiled game playable on PC?
Usually not. Most decompilations rebuild the original console executable, which runs on hardware or an emulator. Native PC ports are usually separate projects built on top of a decompilation; where one exists, the game's page lists it.
Do I need my own copy of the game?
Yes. Every decompilation listed here ships no game code or assets and needs a dump of a disc or cartridge you own. Recompedia does not provide ROMs, ISOs, BIOS files or game assets.
Which games have been decompiled?
As of Oct 18, 2026, this list covers 39 projects, from Super Mario 64 and GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64 to Persona 4, Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 on the PlayStation 2. The ones marked Playable rebuild the retail executable exactly: Resident Evil Code: Veronica X (recvx-decomp), Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (OpenGOAL), Jak II (OpenGOAL), Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (ProjectCane), The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Ship of Harkinian), Mario Kart 64 (SpaghettiKart), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Dusklight), Perfect Dark (n64decomp/perfect_dark) and Super Mario 64 (sm64-port).
