Static recompilation of Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) to native Windows with Vulkan. Plays from the title screen through the first stage on an RTX 5060 Ti; still early, can crash. No game files included.

About the project

Static recompilation of Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) into a native Windows application with a Vulkan renderer. Not playable yet: it boots, reaches the title screen and tutorial, with no emulator at run time.

Useful for
  • Build the project from your own game dump to test on your GPU
  • Check how far the game gets past the tutorial and report crashes
  • Study the approach to ARM64 static recompilation and Ampere-to-SPIR-V shader translation

4.5 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 9, 2026, 02:18 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150November 1, 2026November 9, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-09 (UTC), 00:02–02:09: 468 → 480 stars (+12). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +130 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 2.8× that of the previous 6 days.
  • The repository is 8 days old and already has 480 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 470.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
