The recomp.board, public catalog of game recompilations, ports, and decompilations, listed 1,948 records in the October 14, 2026 query. The service gathers projects from different platforms and adds mechanisms to track repository activity and the progress of some decompilations.

In the official recomp.board page, the count is 1,098 recompilation records, 760 decompilation records, and 90 source ports. These are project lines, not 1,948 different games nor 1,948 playable versions. A game may appear in more than one initiative.

The creator of recomp.board posted an image of the table on Reddit during the project's presentation. This capture records an earlier phase of the catalog. The number of records has grown since then.

, Below, the original post allows seeing how the author presented the tool to the community, without confusing the historical capture with the numbers in this news item.

How recomp.board works

The catalog allows filtering by game, source console, target platform, tool used, status, and recent activity. In addition, each row points to a public repository, which helps distinguish a project with accessible code from a mere promise.

However, the maintainers themselves warn that most rows come from automated repository scraping. Therefore, names, platforms, and statuses may contain errors. The identification of a project as "claimed" means that the person in charge has taken ownership of their entry and can provide more accurate information.

To visualize how the catalog organizes projects, this table reproduces only a few rows checked in the official table on October 14th. It is neither a screenshot nor a full copy of the database.

The source system, type of work, and destination help interpret each project. However, the existence of a row does not guarantee that there is a playable version available for download.

Decompilation progress and .recomp.json file

A new feature is the reading of progress reports from objdiff published as GitHub Actions artifacts. According to the official registration instructions, the tool can display the percentage of original-matching code in projects that make this report available.

Developers can also include a file .recomp.json at the root of the repository. This way, they declare game, system, type of work, status, platforms, and responsible parties. The catalog reads this information without needing to distribute ROMs, ISOs, or commercial executables.

The numbers below show the distribution of the 1,948 records consulted for this news piece. The table is merely an editorial summary of the indicators published at that time.

These numbers represent cataloged works, not completed releases. Nor do they mean that each line corresponds to a different game.

What the number of projects actually shows

The total of 1,948 records does not mean that all projects are active or ready for use. The site itself reports 1,811 lines not yet claimed by their respective authors. Therefore, the data should be understood as index coverage, not as the number of completed ports.

As an example of the type of initiative tracked, Allves Games has already explained the Super Mario Galaxy decompilation milestone and the Nebula port for Windows. These projects show why decompilation, recompilation and porting need to be distinguished.

Finally, recomp.board is a reference tool. It does not replace the README, releases or tests of each project. To install a recompiled game, it is necessary to check the documentation and the existence of a public package in the corresponding repository.
