What the data says

The catalog read as numbers: what people reconstruct, for which machines, how fast the field is growing, and who, or what, is writing the code.

When the repositories were created

A long tail of a dozen or two a month until mid-2025, then a climb that peaks at 1,106 in Oct 2026. The static recompilation tooling (N64Recomp, XenonRecomp and their successors) and AI coding agents arrived in the same window; the catalog records the count, not the cause.

Repositories created per month, Jan 2016 to Nov 2026. Repositories created, latest 106.

By approach

A project can use more than one. Decompilation still leads, but static recompilation, which skips recovering source and translates the binary ahead of time, is close behind and is where most of the new repositories go.

By system

The twenty systems with the most projects. Windows games are the single largest group (classic PC decompilations and native ports); among consoles the Nintendo 64, PlayStation and Xbox 360 lead, the last two carried almost entirely by recompilation.

Every system, by maker →

Activity

A project is active when its default branch was pushed to in the last twelve months. Removed means GitHub answered 404 or 451 at build time.

AI use

Reviewed projects carry an AI-use level from 0 (none) to 5 (an AI agent is credited with the code): 168 are rated and 119 of those are level 5. A further 418 carry only a yes/no flag, set to yes. The rest is unrated, not AI-free.

Languages

The repository's primary language, plus any the reviews list.
