Dr. Mario

NES · 2026

MMC1 puzzle title among NESRecomp's ten supported commercial games.

Dr. Mario is one of the ten commercial titles supported by NESRecomp, maintained by the core team, and was among the first four the framework brought up. It is an MMC1 cartridge that exercises CHR ROM bank switching.

What works today

The game runs as statically recompiled native code through the shared NESRecomp runner, with save-state slots available. Windows x64 is the primary platform; macOS support is experimental.

Known limitations

A minor audio timing issue was noted in the team's 2026-03-28 write-up.

No game data is distributed; the project builds from your own legally dumped ROM.
