Can I play iPod games natively on PC?

Yes, for 1 game so far, including iPod Click Wheel Recomps. Most need data from your own copy of the original game.

What is the difference between a iPod decomp and a recomp?

A decompilation rewrites the game's machine code as readable C that rebuilds the original; a static recompilation translates the machine code mechanically into C/C++ that runs natively. Recomps arrive faster; decomps are easier to mod and port.

Are these iPod projects legal?

They publish code only, and the ones that need game data ask you to supply it from a copy you own. Recomp never links to ROMs, ISOs or game files.
