Strike Remastered Collection HD
Icedomega13/StrikeHDCollection
Native PC versions of the three Sega Genesis Strike games: Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf, Jungle Strike, and Urban Strike. Each game’s original code is statically recompiled to C and verified instruction by instruction against the Musashi 68000 core in lockstep tests; sound (YM2612 and PSG) is emulated with ymfm. It adds widescreen from 16:10 to 32:9, HD graphics packs with a built-in builder (4× upscaling with xBRZ), a status HUD, a minimap, a pause menu with save slots, cheats, rewind, autosave, gamepad rumble, stats, and a launcher with a game picker. A difficulty prototype for Desert Strike and a work-in-progress Amiga edition that uses your own Amiga disks round out the list. Version 0.8.1 is from October 26, with an installer and a portable zip for Windows; the README also documents building on Linux. The recompiled code is generated on your PC and is not in the repository. 7 of its 9 commits list Claude as a co-author, and the README says development relied heavily on AI.
You needYour own copies of the Mega Drive/Genesis cartridges (US or Europe) for the games you want to play, checked by SHA-1: Desert Strike d7e7d8c358eb845b84fb08f904cc0b95d0a4053d, Jungle Strike 7a7568e39341b1bb218280ee05c2b37c273317b5, and Urban Strike 897a8f6a08d6d7d6e5316f8047532b3e4603e705. Windows, or Linux by building from source.
Jungle Strike (SNES)
Junior-Jones/Jungle-Strike-SNES-Static-Recomp
A native Windows version of the Super Nintendo Jungle Strike, made by static recompilation: the ROM’s S-CPU (65816) and audio driver (SPC700) code was translated ahead of time into C, with no interpreter or emulator fallback, and the repository includes that generated code, which comes from the game’s ROM. The rest of the machine (PPU, DMA, timers, S-DSP) is reimplemented in the project itself, with a Windows launcher that saves and loads states, configures controllers and audio, and takes screenshots. It adds a 16:9 widescreen mode (512 × 288), flagged as experimental. According to the README, mission 1 has been tested at its corners and with weapons and mission 2 only partly; the remaining game transitions are still being tested. The latest release is 1.1.0, from October 17; the first, 1.0.0, is from September 1. The published Windows build is a prebuilt executable made from that generated code.
You needYour own Jungle Strike SNES ROM, the USA/Canada (NTSC) release, unheadered, in .sfc format, 2,097,152 bytes with SHA-256 8d812ea4fa897274116f7f43bc689e110f1cfbd3f7eb3a1737c2a85d36369159; the launcher checks the full identity before allowing play. Windows 10 or 11.
