Generative AI Usage Disclaimer
Every line of code in this port has been generated using either Claude Code or Codex.
Port Progress
The port is fully playable, but is very much a work in progress.
The game's logic is being rewritten in C and validated against original ROM execution.
Some of the game is still being emulated, and only a very small portion of what is running natively has been translated into what could be called "readable" C.
