This Majora’s Mask port now supports mods, and more recompiled N64 games are coming

It’s a great day for N64 fans, as Wiseguy’s incredible revamp of the N64: Recompiled tool is finally available to the public. The first game to show the full progress made over the past few months is version 1.2.0 of Zelda 64: Recompiled, which is now available on GitHub.

Without going too into the weeds, the N64: Recompiled tool makes it significantly easier to make native ports of N64 games. Previous decompilation efforts required painstakingly reverse-engineering a game’s code line by line, then building a port to render that code into a playable game. N64: Recompiled automates that first task and runs the code in the pre-built RT64 renderer. Recompiled games require further refining, but the process is much, much faster than manually decompiling code.
