Super Metroid PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Super Metroid?
- Yes. SuperMetroidRecomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Super Metroid PC port finished?
- It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Sep 2026, and the latest release is v0.3.9.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows and Linux.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. SuperMetroidRecomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.
