About this project

Scurvy Dog Port: an independent static recompilation of Banjo-Tooie for Windows, built with N64Recomp and N64ModernRuntime and rendered with RT64. It isn’t affiliated with the Banjo: Recompiled team. It’s in alpha: a launcher validates your ROM, but a full playthrough hasn’t been verified yet, and visual glitches and scene-transition pauses remain. There are no Linux or macOS builds yet.

What you need

Your own US 1.0 ROM in .z64 (big-endian) format, identified by its SHA-256. Other regions and modified ROMs aren’t supported.

N64Recomp
About this project

A native PC port that statically recompiles the US ROM with N64Recomp and renders through RT64, with widescreen, high refresh rates and an in-game settings menu. Boot, the intro, loading and saving are verified, and long sessions run without crashes; a separate project from the Scurvy Dog Port.

What you need

Your own US Banjo-Tooie ROM.

About this project

A native port of the Xbox 360 Live Arcade re-release, statically recompiled to C++ on the ReXGlue SDK, so no N64 ROM is involved. It plays from the title screen through the intro into free-roaming gameplay on Windows and a real Steam Deck. Built with Claude's help.

What you need

Your own copy of the Xbox Live Arcade game.
