# adriadam10/mkw-recomp

> Static recompilation of Mario Kart World (Nintendo Switch 2) into a native program for Linux and Windows: AArch64 code is translated to C and NVN2 is reimplemented on Vulkan. Requires your own game dump.

- Magnitude: 5.4 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 288 total · +38 stars measured 2026-11-10, 14:55–20:23 UTC, ≈ 47 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Build a native PC version from your own game dump via the launcher and play races
- Benchmark the recompilation on your GPU and submit a performance report
- Study the AArch64→C lifter and the SM86 SASS → SPIR-V shader translator for your own projects

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-10 (UTC), 14:55–20:23: 250 → 288 stars (+38). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +47 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 288 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #177.
- About 9 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 11
- Issues and pull requests: 51
- Watchers: 4
- Average over the last week: 123 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 7
- Latest release: v0.1.6 (2026-11-10)

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
