Building & Enhancing Recomps: Ecosystem Updates

An ecosystem update spanning shared mod loading, adaptive widescreen, new console support, and experiments beyond faithful ports.
Once a recompilation framework can bring up games reliably, correctness becomes the starting point rather than the finish line. Matt's ecosystem update follows that shift across PlayStation, SNES, GBA, Genesis, Nintendo DS, and several early research targets.
The common theme is reuse. A shared mod-loading model can serve multiple consoles; adaptive widescreen can reveal more of worlds designed for small screens; and native performance headroom makes experiments possible without preserving every original hardware limit. The update also covers enhancement-chip work, unusual GBA sensors, and the first steps toward newer or less familiar systems.
For the Toolkit, the article is a snapshot of the broader ambition: frameworks should make the next game easier to port and give finished ports room to become more than replicas.
