EarthBound Beginnings / Mother

NES

A static recompilation scaffold for Mother (EarthBound Beginnings) on the NES using NESRecomp, for Windows. It holds the game-specific configuration, hooks, and a Dear ImGui launcher; it includes neither a ROM nor code generated from one, which you generate locally with the recompiler from your own ROM before building. The README warns that it is largely untested beyond boot and basic play, and that it was made at a community member’s request as a base for another developer to continue, not as a finished or supported port. It has no published releases: you have to build it. It includes the game’s box art, for the launcher only. 1 of its 10 commits lists Claude as a co-author.

You needYour own Mother ROM for the NES (mapper 4 / MMC3, payload CRC32 00F0FBBC, with battery-backed SRAM). You have to build the project: Visual Studio 2022 and CMake, generating the code with the recompiler first.
