Mega Man X

Super Nintendo · 2026

Fully playable and released: the first SNES game recompiled without an explicit disassembly as reference.

Mega Man X is SNESRecomp's most mature title: fully playable per the framework README and completable start to finish per the release announcement. It was also the first game recompiled without an explicit disassembly as reference, a milestone for the toolchain. The current release is v1.4.3 (2026-08-16).

What works today

The full game, start to finish, as a released native build.

Enhancements

Experimental true widescreen renders a wider field of view rather than stretching: 16:9 from the 4:3 presentation, or 32:21 from the raw 8:7 framebuffer. An MSU-1 audio mod adds CD-quality music.

A community port of this recompilation to original Xbox hardware exists as Mega Man X for Xbox. Video Game Esoterica covered the release on YouTube.

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