Can I play Sega Model 1 games natively on PC?
Yes, for 1 game so far, including Virtua Fighter Recomp. Most need data from your own copy of the original game.
What is the difference between a Sega Model 1 decomp and a recomp?
A decompilation rewrites the game's machine code as readable C that rebuilds the original; a static recompilation translates the machine code mechanically into C/C++ that runs natively. Recomps arrive faster; decomps are easier to mod and port.
Are these Sega Model 1 projects legal?
They publish code only, and the ones that need game data ask you to supply it from a copy you own. Recomp never links to ROMs, ISOs or game files.
