MOTHER 3 PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own MOTHER 3?
Yes. Mother3Recomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the MOTHER 3 PC port finished?
Yes, the project calls it playable. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is v1.0.5.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. Mother3Recomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.

Leaving PlayPorted

You're opening a third-party site

  • PlayPorted doesn't run or check this site, and hasn't verified the software it offers. Download and run it at your own risk.
  • You need your own copy of the game. Legitimate projects never give you the game files.
  • If the site looks wrong or hands out game files, report the link and we'll look into it.
