Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (Game Gear)

Game: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (Game Gear) (Game Gear, 1995)

A native Windows port of the Game Gear version, made by static recompilation: the game’s Z80 code is translated into C and compiled for x64, with a small runtime that recreates the console’s video chip, sound chip, controls, and bank mapper. According to its README the whole game runs as native code, with no interpreter, verified by full playthroughs to the ending, and the recompiled code is identical to a reference Z80 interpreter, with RAM, VRAM, palette, and every frame compared across more than 400,000 frames. It has save states in ten slots, screen filters (none, LCD, or CRT), fast-forward, an infinite-health toggle, keyboard and gamepad support, and full screen. Version 1.0.0 is from October 27; the API’s release listing shows no attached files. The recompiled code is generated on your PC and not uploaded.
