Recompiled Games for PC

PC builds come from two directions. Static recompilers translate a console game's machine code into C or C++ and compile it for Windows, Linux and macOS; ports built on decompilations compile reconstructed source code instead. Since October 2026, PS2 Web Recomp has added a third target: recompiled PS2 games running in the browser through WebAssembly.

  • 29 projects
  • 14 playable
  • 14 in progress

N64Recomp is behind Zelda64Recompiled and the Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness recomp, XenonRecomp behind Unleashed Recompiled, and PS2Recomp behind the PS2 ports of God of War, Urban Reign, Def Jam Vendetta, Killzone and Dragon Quest VIII. Each runs the game's original logic as native code and reads the assets from the player's own copy.

Ports built on decompilations include Ship of Harkinian (Ocarina of Time), SpaghettiKart (Mario Kart 64), sm64-port (Super Mario 64), Dusklight (Twilight Princess), OpenGOAL (Jak and Daxter), ProjectCane (Sly Cooper) and ico-pc (ICO). All but ico-pc are listed as Playable.

PC recomp FAQ

What are recompiled games for PC?

Console games whose original code has been turned into native code for Windows, Linux or macOS, either by a static recompiler or by compiling a decompilation. This page lists every project on Recompedia with a PC or browser build: 29 as of Oct 18, 2026.

Are recompiled PC games emulators?

No. In a recomp or a decompilation port, the game's main code runs as native code compiled for your computer rather than being interpreted at runtime. Some projects reuse emulator components for graphics or sound, which the notes on each row mention.

Do I need my own copy of the game?

Yes. Every project listed here needs a copy of the game you own and ships no game code or assets. Recompedia does not provide ROMs, ISOs, BIOS files or game assets, and does not link to them.

Which recompiled games can I play on PC now?

As of Oct 18, 2026, the PC and browser builds marked Playable are: Conker's Bad Fur Day (Conker BFD Reloaded), Pokémon Snap (Snap64Recomp), 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), Urban Reign (urban-reign-recomp), Mario Kart 64 (SpaghettiKart), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Dusklight), The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (Zelda64Recompiled), Star Fox 64 (Starfox64Recomp), Skate 3 (Skate 3 Recomp), Sonic Unleashed (Unleashed Recompiled) and Super Mario 64 (sm64-port).
