# Mother1NESRecomp > _This recompilation is a **byproduct of developing > [nesrecomp](https://github.com/mstan/nesrecomp)** — the games are the proving ground, the framework is the goal. > **These are in-development previews, not finished ports — expect rough > edges**, and depth will keep landing over months, not days. My time for any > one title is limited, so I ask for your patience. Contributions are welcome — > testing, issues, and PRs to the game or framework all help and will > accelerate this game's polish. More on the why at: > [Recomp + AI: 5 Months Later »](https://1379.tech/recomp-ai-5-months-later/)_ > **Development status:** This is largely untested beyond its initial boot and > basic-play bring-up. It was created at a community member's request as a base > for another developer to continue, not as a finished or supported port. > Expect incomplete behavior, bugs, and regressions. Static recompilation scaffold for Mother 1 / EarthBound Zero (NES) using NESRecomp. This project contains Mother-specific configuration and game hooks plus a Dear ImGui launcher wired through the shared `recomp-ui` submodule. It does not include a ROM or ROM-derived generated code. ## ROM You must supply your own legally obtained ROM. The configured ROM has: - Mapper: 4 / MMC3 - Payload CRC32: `00F0FBBC` - Battery-backed SRAM: yes - Controllers: one player Generate the local, ignored `generated/` directory before configuring the game build: ```bat nesrecomp\build\recompiler\Release\NESRecomp.exe C:\path\to\your\game.nes --game game.toml ``` ## Build Fetch pinned submodules first: ```bat setup.bat ``` ```bat cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 cmake --build build --config Release ``` ## Third-party material Mother, EarthBound Beginnings, Nintendo, and the associated game artwork and assets are trademarks or copyrighted material of Nintendo and their respective owners, including APE Inc. and Pax Softnica.
