Recompiled Mega Man X (SNES) into a native PC port with Claude

Mega Man X Recompiled is a project that ports the SNES title Mega Man X to native Windows and Linux. The project implements a shared framework for host presentation, utilizing cached HLE frame composition by default on Windows x64 to optimize performance. Users can opt for a correctness-reference compositor by configuring a separate Release build with LLE, though this may reduce performance. The project supports features including adaptive widescreen, playable Zero, and two-player online netplay with rollback. Co-op mode allows X and Zero to play simultaneously with independent health and weapon energy. A Player 2 Learner Mode is available, which prevents the second player from taking damage or dying. The project includes contributions from Claude Opus 5.5, specifically regarding the implementation of Learner Mode and renderer adjustments. The project documentation notes that foreign compiler activity limits precision in performance measurements. Users must provide their own USA Rev 1 ROMs for the base game and optional X2/X3 mods. Further details on current limitations are documented in the project's co-op validation notes. See the project repository for full documentation.
