i believe theres one for paper mario that already reached full decompilation for the US release

I know of that one, but currently it only exists as a means to rebuild the rom. I should clarify that I mean I want to list things that are playable or intend to make playable native on other hardware, otherwise all of the Pokemon decomps would be here too (i.e. Pokecrystal, but again that's only used for rebuilding the rom)

Actually yeah I'll just extend it to include those, but grouped separately at the bottom.

I am the one who added some of the Nintendo ones to IGDB. This is another one from snesrev: https://backloggd.com/games/sm/

@dleo thank you for adding those to IGDB, makes it less confusing to log I think.
