  "description_en": "Compiles Paper Mario decompilation sources, credited to the pmret and Paper Mario DX projects, into a native US-version application on libultraship. Torch converts the user’s own ROM into a local asset archive, and the port adds rendering backends, enhancements and archive-based mods. Desktop releases are published, while Android, iOS and web builds are documented on the development branch.",

    "The reviewed develop snapshot follows release 1.0.3 (2026-10-11), whose packages cover Windows, Linux and macOS. CMake compiles the decompilation’s game C sources for VERSION_US with port code replacing the N64 boot and most OS layers. This is a native port that deliberately adds enhancements and fixes, not a matching ROM build or a static recompilation.",
    "Requires the user’s US Paper Mario ROM with the SHA-1 listed in the README; config.yml carries recipes for that hash only, and the README states no copyrighted assets are included. Torch generates the pm64.o2r game archive on the user’s machine or device; that archive never ships with the app.",
    "Source builds need the Torch and libultraship submodules, CMake 3.24+, Ninja and C99/C++20 compilers. Windows uses Visual Studio 2022 with clang-cl, because plain MSVC cl.exe is unsupported for the C99 decompilation sources. Renderers are DirectX 11, OpenGL and Metal. Android arm64-v8a, iOS 16.3+ and Emscripten builds are documented, with scripting and native mods disabled there.",
    "The CI workflow builds Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and web artifacts and checks package contents; the platform guide states CI never touches a ROM, and its named desktop check script is absent from the reviewed tree. Nightly builds are labeled playtest-only with expected bugs and crashes. No gameplay-equivalence or performance results are reported.",
    "The repository carries CC0-1.0 text, but GitHub detects no license for the credited pmret and Paper Mario DX repositories, and submodules have separate terms; the CC0 file is not treated as a grant over inherited code or game content. The README says AI-assisted pull requests are accepted under a HarbourMasters policy."

    "所审 develop 快照晚于 1.0.3 版（2026-10-11），该版本提供 Windows、Linux 和 macOS 安装包。CMake 以 VERSION_US 编译反编译项目的游戏 C 源码，并用移植代码替换 N64 启动层和大部分系统层。这是有意加入增强与修复的原生移植，不是生成一致 ROM 的构建，也不是静态重编译。",
    "需使用者自备美版 Paper Mario ROM，且 SHA-1 与 README 所列一致；config.yml 仅包含该哈希的配方，README 声明不包含受版权保护的素材。Torch 在使用者的电脑或设备上生成 pm64.o2r 游戏归档，该归档从不随应用分发。",
    "源码构建需 Torch 与 libultraship 子模块、CMake 3.24+、Ninja 及 C99／C++20 编译器。Windows 使用 Visual Studio 2022 的 clang-cl，普通 MSVC cl.exe 不支持这些 C99 反编译源码。渲染后端为 DirectX 11、OpenGL 和 Metal。文档还说明 Android arm64-v8a、iOS 16.3+ 和 Emscripten 构建，这些平台禁用脚本与原生模组。",
    "CI 工作流构建 Linux、Windows、macOS、iOS、Android 和网页产物，并检查打包内容；平台指南称 CI 从不接触 ROM，且其提到的桌面检查脚本在所审源码树中并不存在。夜间构建标明仅供试玩，可能出现错误和崩溃。项目未报告游戏行为等价或性能结果。",
    "仓库附有 CC0-1.0 文本，但 GitHub 未识别出所致谢的 pmret 和 Paper Mario DX 仓库的许可证，子模块也另有条款；因此不把该 CC0 文件视为对继承代码或游戏内容的授权。README 说明在 HarbourMasters 政策范围内接受 AI 辅助的拉取请求。"
