Pokémon Stadium Recompilation

About

SS Anne is a static recompilation of Pokémon Stadium (US v1.0) into a native PC program rather than an emulator, built on N64Recomp with companion forks of N64ModernRuntime and rt64. The README marks it as no longer maintained since August 2026, with the repository and releases left available.

How it differs from the original

The README lists Transfer Pak support (reading a Pokémon party from your own Game Boy cartridge and saving back), a working GB Tower, saved registered Pokémon between sessions, and 4x MSAA anti-aliasing on by default with optional supersampling.

Getting started

The README says the latest release (v0.4.6-beta) remains downloadable and playable as-is, and the source stays public and buildable at pinned commits. An SS Anne launcher screen is shown before the game for choosing carts and controllers.

History
