redalert2-recomp
Static recompilation of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge (Westwood, 2000-01) to native C, with the remaster the engine never got: a D3D11 presenter, 720p to 4K, HD voxel units. Built on pcrecomp.

Could you build this?
No Static recompilation of a complex legacy x86 binary into C paired with custom Direct3D 11 rendering and high-res voxel pipeline requires world-class reverse engineering and low-level binary translation skills.
What it would actually take: Requires binary analysis tools like IDA Pro/Ghidra to map original game mechanics, control flow, and memory layouts. The pipeline uses static recompiler frameworks (e.g. pcrecomp) translating x86 machine instructions to C equivalents, combined with writing a custom modern graphics layer (Direct3D 11/Vulkan) and engine shims to replace legacy DirectX 7/DirectDraw calls.
