PortedGames

PortedGames is a directory of fan-made and AI-assisted ports of classic games: browser ports you can play online, and native PC recompilations and decompilations of console games (N64, Xbox 360, PS4, GameCube and more). Every port's status is re-checked automatically once a day, so you can see what still works, what went offline and what was taken down.

What's in it

• 120+ port pages with status, last-checked date and what you need to run each one (it never links game files)
• A list of 179 console-to-PC recompilation projects
• A takedown tracker with the evidence for each copyright takedown
• Open datasets (JSON/CSV, CC BY 4.0) synced daily to GitHub

How it was built
An Astro static site written with Claude Code. The prompts were mostly about the daily checker (detecting takedown notices on pages that still return 200), schema-validated data files, and keeping every claim sourced. The hardest part was not the code but the facts: checking each project's README and releases so the status is honest.
