Port Type: Recompilation
Game: Duck Hunt

What you need: A ROM of Duck Hunt (World), dumped from your own cartridge.

DuckHuntNESRecomp is a native Windows port of Duck Hunt, made by static recompilation with mstan’s nesrecomp, which translates the game’s 6502 code into C.

The mouse stands in for the NES Zapper: move it to aim and click to shoot, with a crosshair on screen. The Zapper’s light detection is simulated, so all three game modes work. The author says AI tools were used heavily in making it.

The author lists it as playable. The download contains no game data. It needs Duck Hunt (World), dumped from your own cartridge.

How to set it up

  1. Download the Windows zip and extract it.
  2. Run DuckHuntRecomp.exe and pick your ROM when asked. The path is remembered for later launches.
  3. Remap keys in keybinds.ini, which is created next to the program on first run. F6 and F7 save and load states.
  4. Aim with the mouse and click to shoot. Tab and Enter pick the game mode.
