NESRecomp reaches ten commercial games and begins to look like a framework rather than a sequence of isolated ports.
Reaching ten games changed the meaning of NESRecomp's progress. The milestone covered different mappers and game structures, turning repeated bring-up work into shared discovery, translation, and runtime behavior.
The significance is not the number alone. A broader set of games exposes hidden assumptions and makes the next title more likely to be a translation job instead of a fresh engineering project. That is the same maturity test the Toolkit now uses when describing every console ecosystem.
