Just got even easier to play classic console games on PC. RecompLauncher is a brand new platform that's collecting all the fan ports of , PlayStation and Xbox games. All of these classic games are made easily playable on Windows//macOS thanks to static recompilation technology. This opens the retro gaming doors to PC for casual gamers.

New platform aggregates static recompilation ports for Windows, Linux, and macOS

The platform was initially named RecompStore. It was a homebrew hub for jailbroken consoles. Now the project switched to a wider view of multiple gaming ecosystems.

RecompLauncher already serves up playable Sonic Unleashed, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Skate 3, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD. It means much wider coverage for classic games in a single place. No more jumping around for every console.

The technology that powers the platform is static recompilation. It's all about rewriting console code in the language that PC CPUs can understand without any emulation-related losses. Developers emphasize, they don't serve copyrighted game files.

Everything should come from your side. Legit games, of course. It's all about software here.

RecompLauncher launch represents a new stage in making retro gaming easy. It gathers community-developed ports of games and serves them in one convenient place. First round of games consists of favorite titles from past two decades.
