About decompdex

- Static recompilation
- The original executable, translated to native code and paired with a runtime. Most N64 and Xbox 360 projects work this way.
- Decomp or source port
- A native build from a decompilation or from source code the developer released.

What we never host
No ROMs, disc images, game assets, keys, or BIOS files, and no links to them. Nearly every build here needs files from your own copy of the game.
