Metroid PC port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Metroid?
- Yes. MetroidNESRecomp needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Metroid PC port finished?
- It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is v0.2.0.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. MetroidNESRecomp translates the original game code into native code, so it runs without an emulator.
