Mega Man X
Super Nintendo · 2026
Play it start to finish today: fully released, and the first SNES game recompiled without an explicit disassembly as reference.
Mega Man X is SNESRecomp's most mature title. Fully playable per the framework README, completable start to finish per the release announcement, and the first game recompiled without an explicit disassembly as reference, a milestone for the toolchain. The current release is v1.4.3 (2026-08-16).
What works today
The full game, start to finish, as a released native build.
Enhancements
Experimental true widescreen renders a wider field of view rather than stretching: 16:9 from the 4:3 presentation, or 32:21 from the raw 8:7 framebuffer. An MSU-1 audio mod adds CD-quality music.
A community port of this recompilation to original Xbox hardware exists as Mega Man X for Xbox. Video Game Esoterica covered the release on YouTube.
