What was done #
A native port of Mario Strikers Charged for the PS Vita, built using AI coding agents and verified through console testing. The project avoids emulation, utilizing a custom renderer and Vita-specific code.
Mario Strikers Charged for the PS Vita is a native port that avoids emulation by rebuilding the game's code for the Vita processor and implementing a custom graphics renderer. The project was built with AI coding agents; the README credits "Claude, with help from other assistants," while commit trailers explicitly include "Claude Opus 5.5" and "Claude Sonnet 5.5." The port features performance optimizations, including support for up to 60 fps, dynamic resolution, and optional HD character textures. Development was directed and play-tested on real hardware by a human. An X post reports that the project is included in the 'awesome-rea' list, which identifies it as an example of AI-assisted reverse engineering. Known limitations include variable frame rates in menus and specific game scenes, with ongoing work documented in the project's issue tracker.
