What was done #
Genesis Recomp is a static-recompilation framework that translates 68000 code into native C, enabling modern features like ultrawide rendering, save states, and rewind for various Sega titles.
Genesis Recomp is a beta static-recompilation framework designed for the Sega Genesis, Mega Drive, and Sega CD. The project utilizes a cartridge pipeline to translate 68000 code into native C, supported by a shared runtime that includes the VDP, audio, bus, and Z80 integration. The framework provides features such as adaptive ultrawide stages, modern controls, mods, multiplayer, save states, and rewind, though feature availability varies by game. The project documentation explicitly states that the command-line tools and source code are developed with no AI required. However, commit history credits Claude Opus 5.5 as a co-author on a specific commit related to renderer settings. The framework includes a clean-room runtime, debugger, and netplay integration. Validation is performed through synthetic harnesses, regression scripts, and recomp-vs-interpreter cosimulation. Users are responsible for supplying qualified disc and BIOS files for Sega CD support. The project maintains explicit coverage and qualification limits for its various game implementations, and widescreen injection status is tracked per game.
