Recomp / Games / Nintendo Switch 2
mkw-recomp
Static recompilation of Mario Kart World 1.0.0 to x86-64 C with NVN 2 reimplemented on Vulkan and SM86 shaders translated to SPIR-V ahead of time, grown out of the TotK Recomp runtime. The launcher builds the game from the player's dump; races and menus run at around 30 fps on modest GPUs, with some menus unfinished and no online play.

Mario Kart World
Separate static recompilation of Mario Kart World, targeting the 1.8.0 update, that lifts the ARM64 code to C and runs it on a TotK Recomp-derived runtime with NVN 2 on Vulkan. The intro, title screen and menus render and races load, but there are graphical faults and no prebuilt downloads; it is built from the player's own dump.
