A complete C decompilation of Mario Kart 64 that rebuilds byte-matching ROMs for USA and European revisions from extracted game assets. It serves as an educational and modding resource documenting the game's engine, audio, and course systems.

Use cases

  • rebuild a matching Mario Kart 64 ROM from source
  • study how an N64 game engine is implemented
  • create mods for Mario Kart 64
  • understand N64 libultra and RSP internals
  • port or hack Mario Kart 64 course data
  • learn reverse engineering of retro game code

When to choose

  • you want a byte-matching, well-documented decompilation of Mario Kart 64
  • you need a base for MK64 modding or research
  • you want to study N64-era C game code

When to avoid

  • you want a playable game without owning an original ROM for asset extraction
  • you need a decompilation of a different N64 game
  • you expect a permissive license - the repo has none
