About

ShrekGBAVideoRecomp is a static recompilation of Shrek Movie (Game Boy Advance Video, USA) to native PC, built on the gbarecomp framework and the recomp-ui launcher. The README marks its status as playable: it boots, reaches the menu and plays the movie in a native PC window.

Getting started

You must supply your own legally dumped cartridge image and Game Boy Advance BIOS, which the README says are not included and are checked against known SHA-1 hashes. Build from source with CMake and Ninja, run the resulting executable, and press A on Play. Keyboard controls and save states are supported.

Known issues & limitations

The runtime refuses inputs it does not recognize.

Features
