Head Hunter: Head Hunter (Dreamcast) recompiled into a native Windows x64 application with Claude

The Head Hunter Recompiled project has statically ahead-of-time recompiled the Sega Dreamcast game Head Hunter into a native Windows x64 application, written in C++20 and built with CMake, with users required to supply their own game discs since the repository contains no game data. Development commits credit Claude Opus 5.5 as a co-author on tasks including elevation of SDK functions such as atan2f, acosf and ldexpf and infrastructure for native rendering and interrupt handling. The project's architecture includes a SH-4 decoder, analysis and code generation tools, and native system layers, with progress tracked in STATUS.md and a master roadmap.

Head Hunter Recompiled is a project that performs static ahead-of-time (AOT) recompilation of the Sega Dreamcast game Head Hunter for Windows x64. The project is written in C++20 and requires the user to provide the original game discs to generate the native build locally. The repository does not contain the game or its data. The development process is tracked through a series of stages, documented in STATUS.md and a master roadmap. The architecture includes a SH-4 decoder, analysis and code generation tools, and native system layers. Development commits credit Claude Opus 5.5 as a co-author for tasks including the elevation of SDK functions such as atan2f, acosf, and ldexpf, as well as infrastructure development for native rendering and interrupt handling. The project maintains a suite of tests and uses CMake for build configuration. The repository is available at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcrecomp/headhunterrecomp/HEAD/README.md.
