Just wondering if Skies of Arcadia is playable on Riecast ...
 
I wonder if a similar approach would work to do static recompilation of game console ROMs, to get just a bit of extra speed compared to dynamic recompilation. So instead of using an emulator, you would essentially specialize (emulator+rom) into one native executable, where as much of the recompilation as possible is done statically (I guess you cannot get rid of it in general because there could be self-modifying code etc.). If you can get near-native execution in the performance-critical loop bodies, this could theoretically enable "emu-compi-lation" of more game consoles (as long as their hardware is not more powerful than the Pandora's), albeit with potentially a lot of manual game-specific effort if the approach cannot easily be fully automated.need a custom conversion tool.
It could be done, but again, not in all cases for the same reasons as mentioned above. If you want to target many games it requires too much effort and is certainly not worth it.
