Metroid Prime Hunters recomp: the DS shooter runs native on PC, with early online play

mstan, the developer behind the Super Metroid, Mega Man X and Pokémon Emerald recomps already on the wire, has shipped Metroid Prime Hunters Recomp v0.7.12-alpha (1 November). It runs the USA revision-0 release of the 2006 Nintendo DS shooter as a native recompilation on Windows, built on mstan's ndsrecomp toolchain. The README calls it a public alpha: crashes, hangs, rendering and audio issues are expected. Online play through Wiimmfi is marked tentative, but testers have reached an in-game match between two players. You provide your own ROM; no Nintendo ROM, BIOS, firmware or ROM-derived source is distributed.
