Rocket Knight Adventures

MD

A static recompilation of the Mega Drive Rocket Knight Adventures with segagenesisrecomp: the 68000 code is translated to C, and whatever isn’t covered yet runs on the engine’s interpreter. A custom renderer rebuilds the wider scenery from the level layouts, with fit-to-window or fixed 16:9, 21:9, and 32:9 widescreen across all seven stages, and an option for enemies to activate earlier or on their original timing. It has rewind, nine save-state slots with previews, remappable controls, and cheat mods (start stage, infinite lives or health, invincibility). Its author calls it an early release: it has been tested across all 54 areas of the seven stages, and some visual glitches remain in the margins of a few scenes and bosses. 0.1.14 (October 18) is Windows-only; 0.1.13 (October 5) also shipped for Linux. 15 of its 56 commits list Claude as a co-author.
