A native recompilation of the headerless North American release of Super Bomberman, using the pinned snesrecomp engine included as a Git submodule. The repository and its releases do not contain the game ROM or generated ROM-derived C sources. Building produces an interactive Win32 host with video, audio, keyboard input and SRAM persistence, plus a deterministic headless validation host.
Getting started
You must provide your own legally obtained ROM; only a 524,288-byte payload with the listed hashes is accepted, and an earlier Sample ROM is rejected. Clone with submodules, run the generate script with the ROM path, then run build.ps1; this needs Python 3, a Rust toolchain and Visual Studio 2022 with the C++ workload. Start BombermanRecomp.exe with the ROM path or use the file picker. Controls are arrows for the D-pad, Z/X for B/Y, S/A for A/X, Q/W for L/R, Enter for Start, Right Shift for Select and Escape to quit.
