Mario Kart Super Circuit Recomp is a native Windows and Linux port of Mario Kart: Super Circuit for the Game Boy Advance, made by mstan by statically recompiling the game's ARM and Thumb code into C, with the GBA video and sound hardware emulated around it.

It adds optional 60 fps, adaptive widescreen and link-cable netplay. It is an early release.

The author says AI tools were used heavily in making it.

The download contains no game data. It needs Mario Kart: Super Circuit, dumped from your own cartridge, and a BIOS dump from your own Game Boy Advance.

## How to set it up

1. Download the Windows zip or the Linux AppImage and extract or unpack it.
2. Run the program and point it at your Mario Kart: Super Circuit ROM and your GBA BIOS file.
3. Change widescreen and the other options in the settings.
