decompbuddy.com Visit website

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free Mac, Windows, and Linux app that sets up native PC ports and decompilations from game files users already own.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-01 issue.

For: Players setting up PC builds of games they own
Worth noticing: The page says it checks dump hashes and console headers, and warns on mismatches rather than marking them as verified.

Field notes

The catalog is described as combining more than 300 projects from decompilation catalogs, with projects grouped by console and labeled for the platforms they build on. Users can also paste GitHub links instead of selecting from the catalog. For verification, the page distinguishes repository-published hashes, console headers, and documented BIOS sums, and says mismatches trigger warnings rather than a pass.
