About

Bigodao: WL SM3 is a static recompilation study and native PC port of Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 with native widescreen support. The README calls it a personal study project in static decompilation and recompilation of Game Boy binaries, running natively on Linux and Windows.

How it differs from the original

The README says it renders with native widescreen instead of stretching, applying a widescreen field-of-view patch during the CMake configuration.

Getting started

You must provide your own legally acquired Game Boy ROM plus the DX v1.2 IPS patch by korxo, both matching the SHA-256 hashes listed in the README. The executable validates the ROM by hash and applies the patch in memory, leaving the ROM on disk untouched; the README gives CMake and Ninja build steps.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game (Game Boy version).

You must provide your own legally acquired Game Boy ROM and a matching patch file.

Features

The port supports native widescreen rendering without the distortion of standard emulator stretching.
