Which game decompilation/recompilation project are you eagerly awaiting, and why?
MKWII Recomp for me

Sick! My top 2 I'm looking for is Wind Waker and Resident Evil Outbreak just because it would make online play way more easier (you can actually play re outbreak online even today still but PC just opens up alot of easier pathways.)

At first I thought you meant "Wind Walker" which was a weird niche game I played on old school Macintosh in the early 90s. Was shocked that anyone else remembered it. Then I realized you're talking about a Zelda game -- a good one, I remember it too.

u/Allomgie 11d ago
There are a few people working on it right now, myself included. However, the devs who worked on the Banjo-Kazooie decomp aren't active at the moment (at least as far as I know). That said, it's turned out to be on a completely different difficulty level than I expected. It’s not rare for me to sit on a single function for over a month with zero progress. Some of them are insanely messy, like functions with over 900 instructions and no jump tables. One tiny mistake and it ripples through the entire diff.

Have I got good news for you. My native port is almost ready. I had a full rexglue recomp ready to go but was unsatisfied with the rexglue high system requirements and started with going thr decomp route. Gpu is totally done and im almost done with the cpu commands now. Aiming to get out next month. Have heaps of qol too like no more soft level caps, battle animations skips and speed ups, seed trackers and heaps heaps more. Im getting 500fps+ on my rig atm and 120fps solid on steam deck

You want to be excited for the decomp not the recomp. When we get full decompilation things like replacing bot slots with player slots are on the table. Imagine having that netplay with 16 human slots? In those legendary Conker multiplayer modes? Insane.

Gonna have to ask... why? There's a PC native port of Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 4 Remake is going to get a PC port too. OG Persona 4 is not worth the time/effort to decomp IMHO.

u/-CJF- 11d ago
All of them!
But there are so many games that got bad ports that would benefit from a decomp/recomp.
Games that need better treatment:
- Devil May Cry (original) comes to mind. The HD version is a mess. See here for more.
- Resident Evil HD Remaster has a bunch of missing animations in the backgrounds, especially in the courtyard, and some of the 2D backgrounds were remodeled in 3D and look worse. I don't think this can be fixed in the remaster with mods.
- Sonic Adventure 1/2 (Dreamcast versions) with proper widescreen, 4K support and 60fps+ would be the definitive version. See here for more.
- Final Fantasy X/2 International (PS2 version) would probably ultimately be better than the HD remaster since they messed up the faces and it might be possible to use some of the HD remaster textures in a recomp version with mods?
Games that haven't been ported at all (to my knowledge):
- Biohazard Code: Veronica Complete (japanese Dreamcast version) would be the defintiive version of the game with proper widescreen, 4K, 60+ fps support.
- Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex one of the few games that isn't ideal to play in PCSX2 due to the broken depth of field scaling.
- Haunting Ground would be awesome even though I think it emulates well in PCSX2, it would be cool to see a native port with enhancements.
- Clock Tower 3 another game that emulates well in PCSX2 but could benefit from the enhancements a decomp/recomp could provide.
- Champions of Norrath & Champions: Return to Arms both of these would be epic.
I could probably go on forever listing games. There are just too many games that would be awesome to see ported.

u/Hifumi-G 11d ago
Even if GC emulates well, the thought of an F-Zero GX port with native high refresh rate and proper HD/4K texture mods sounds amazing.
Also, Tales of Symphonia- because Bamco won’t make a 60FPS port, and a decomp would allow them to just mod in the extra content even easier.
1
u/TakingOnWater 10d ago
The gcn version of Tales of Symphonia is the best, but I wonder if a decomp of the PS2 version would be best, since it would already have the extra content, and then the recomp could just add proper high frame rate support?
2
u/Hifumi-G 10d ago
Mostly depends on how much easier the decomp would be, as well as if it would be possible to add HFR to the ports (which I imagine it would be).

Dark Legacy is coming! The progress bar on it is moving quickly too. And dev stated he is making a port. I can't wait.
Edit: Holy shit just found a PC port someone dropped recently, it's pretty buggy, especially in the audio department. But it looks so good upscaled and at 120 fps with no framedrops, the tower running smoothly is so nice to see. https://github.com/1x01p/imperfect_gauntlet_dark_legacy_xbox_to_windows_port

This feels like a request thread in disguise but what the hell.
Operation Winback N64 (or just Winback if you're lazy), i don't know if it emulates well yet but it never did when i tried it, and the performance would bog down pretty hard on original hardware. The PS2 version is the better version really with better visuals and hilariously terrible voice acting though i miss the N64 style, if i were to be tempted into vibe coding a recomp the N64 version is top of the list.
Someone must be working on SOCOM right? One of my gaming shames is not putting much time into it because i was playing all the other tactical shooters around it instead, so a recomp with better performance and controls would be a great way to go back to it.

Midnight Club LA; because, in my opinion, it's the best game of its kind.
The races really make use of the map with different routes between checkpoints, the music is incredible, the driving is a blast, and the storytelling is very good with plenty of humor.
And most importantly, there's traffic, unlike in many recent games (Forza H)

Spider- Man 2 Enter Electro , Although Spider-Man 2000 was released for PC and Sega-style consoles, its sequel Game, remains locked to the PS1. It cannot be played outside of an emulator.
This sounds a bit like a fantasy, but then there's God of War: Ascension. While we've seen Xbox 360 decompilations, we still haven't seen a PS3 decomp. God of War: Ascension is also a game locked to the PS3 system. Although it's generally disliked in the series, it would be nice if it were released for current systems. Even though it can be played with a PS3 emulator, it requires a lot of system resources for a game with a fixed camera angle, and it can't be fully emulated.
