# Recharged — a native PC port of Mario Strikers Charged
Play **Mario Strikers Charged** natively on Windows, Linux, macOS and Steam
Deck. **Recharged** compiles the reconstructed source code of the original
Wii game into a real PC program. It is not an emulator: the game's own code
runs unchanged, and Recharged supplies what the Wii hardware used to provide:
graphics, sound, controllers, disc access and saves.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **The downloads contain no game files.** You need your own copy of
> **Mario Strikers Charged** as an `.iso`, `.rvz` or `.wbfs` disc image: the
> USA version (game ID `R4QE01`, revision 1) or the European version, *Mario
> Strikers Charged Football* (`R4QP01`, revision 1 or 2). Japanese and Korean
> discs are not supported yet.
## Download
Get the package for your system from the
**latest release**:
 windows-x86_64.zip 
 linux-x86_64.tar.gz 
 steamdeck-x86_64.tar.gz 
 Steam Deck guide 
 macos-arm64.tar.gz 
 macos-x86_64.tar.gz 
1. Unpack the package into a folder of its own.
2. Start `recharged` (`recharged.exe` on Windows, `Recharged.app` on macOS).
3. In the launcher, add the folder with your game image (or choose the image)
 and press **Play**.
The **install guide** covers the first-start prompts of
Windows and macOS. Steam Deck owners should follow the
**Steam Deck guide**, which also adds the game to the
Steam library. Once installed, the launcher tells you about new versions and
updates Recharged in place when you agree.
## Highlights
- **The whole game.** Domination, the Road to the Striker Cup, Strikers 101,
 the Hall of Fame, cheats, movies, music and sound, with saves like on the Wii.
- **Up to four players** in any mix of keyboard & mouse, gamepads (Xbox,
 PlayStation, Switch Pro, GameCube adapter and more) and **real Wii Remotes**
 with Nunchuk, over Bluetooth or a Mayflash DolphinBar.
- **Sharp picture.** 3D at your window's resolution, 4x antialiasing, 4:3 or
 16:9, any window size or fullscreen.
- **High frame rates.** 120, 144, your display's refresh rate or unlimited,
 while the game keeps its original speed.
- **Optional tweaks**: skip the intro, fast menus, no Mega Strikes, unlock
 everything, CPU vs CPU, fast terrain, Thunder Island walls, mirror matches
 and blue Peach, all off by default. **Fair ball contests**, on by
 default, keeps the home team from winning loose balls more often. Three bugs
 of the original game are fixed.
- **A launcher** that checks your disc, keeps every setting in one place and
 updates itself in place.
See the **feature list** and the
default controls.
## Your game disc
Recharged needs your own, legally obtained copy of the game as an `.iso`,
`.rvz` or `.wbfs` disc image, which it reads directly from where you keep it. No game
files are included, and this project cannot help you obtain them. The launcher
lists the images in your game folder, checks each one and tells you which
versions it runs; renaming a file does not change its version.
