A C++ tool that statically recompiles N64 game binaries into portable C code that can be compiled into native executables for any platform. It translates MIPS instructions one-by-one into literal C equivalents, enabling native ports and faster-than-emulation execution of N64 code.

Use cases

• port N64 games to PC as native executables
• run N64 binary code faster than an emulator
• recompile N64 ROM functions into standalone C code
• build native ports of retro games without emulation overhead
• analyze or instrument N64 game code in a standalone environment
• recompile RSP microcode for N64 games

When to choose

• you want to create a native PC port of an N64 game
• you need to execute N64 MIPS code with near-native performance
• you have symbol maps and metadata for the target binary
• you're doing N64 decompilation or reverse-engineering work

When to avoid

• you want a general-purpose N64 emulator for playing games
• you need dynamic recompilation for unknown binaries without symbol data
• your target binary uses modern MIPS compiler optimizations that trip up the recompiler
• you're working with non-N64 console binaries
