What was done #
NXAevora uses the ScarletNX static recompiler to translate Pokemon Legends Arceus from ARM64 to x86-64 for native execution on Windows 11 x64. The project incorporates AI-assisted development and review, with current status in alpha.
NXAevora is a project designed to run Pokemon Legends Arceus natively on Windows 11 x64. The game code is translated ahead of time from ARM64 to x86-64 using the ScarletNX static recompiler. The project is currently in alpha and is not ready for general use. The author reports that the base game and update 1.1.1 recompile in approximately 11 minutes. Testing on a machine with Windows 11 and an NVIDIA GPU shows the game runs at about 30 frames per second through the opening scenes and the first minutes in the Obsidian Fieldlands. Known issues include a one-second at startup, one untranslated shader, and one undrawn texture, though the author notes no visible fault has been observed from the latter two. Video, long-duration play in open areas, and late-game wild Pokemon battles remain untested. Development involves AI-powered coding and review, with contributions from Claude Sonnet 5.5 and GPT-6.1-Sol (Codex) as documented in commit messages. The project maintains a policy of human review and real-world testing, noting that successful compilation does not guarantee correct game functionality. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nxaevora/nxaevora-main/HEAD/README.md
Reproduce it #
Clone the repository with submodules using `git clone --recursive`. Build steps for Windows 11 x64 are documented in `docs/SCARLETNX_BUILD-NOTES.md` using MSYS2 and the CLANG64 environment. The process requires a user-dumped copy of the game (NSP or XCI) and console keys.
