    This is not a romhack or a tool for romhacking. This lets the game run natively, on current PC hardware.

      Decomp projects accelerate the rate that romhacks come out through new or improved tools and fresh information about the inner workings of the game. Particularly when there was little experimentation previous to the decomp, as is the case here, to allow romhackers find the game’s kinks. It absolutely is not a romhack or romhacking tool, you are correct. It’s better!

      Doesn’t look like this is quite that, yet. The decomp is just the first step towards native porting. Banjo-Kazooie’s been fully decompiled for somewhere around a year at this point, and there’s still no ports afaik.
