Mario's Tennis Recompilation

About

A static V810-to-C recompilation of Mario's Tennis (Virtual Boy, 1995) running as a native Windows binary, built with the vbrecomp framework. The README includes a shared launcher, persistent controls and settings, a mod catalog and an optional full-color renderer, and gives its status as Playable.

Getting started

The README says to download the Windows release zip, extract it entirely and run the executable with --rom pointing to your own Mario's Tennis cart dump, which is CRC32-verified at launch (CRC32 0x7CE7460D, 524288 bytes).
