## What it is
SpaghettiKart is a PC port of Mario Kart 64 built from a decompilation, requiring users to supply their own legally dumped US ROM to generate game assets. It supports modding, custom tracks and characters, and runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Nintendo Switch.

## Use cases
- play mario kart 64 on pc
- port n64 game to windows and linux
- make custom tracks for mario kart 64
- create custom characters for mk64
- play mario kart 64 on nintendo switch
- mod a decompiled n64 game

## When to choose
- you own a legal US Mario Kart 64 ROM dump and want enhanced PC play
- you want to mod MK64 with custom tracks or characters
- you want higher-resolution, portable MK64 on desktop or Switch

## When to avoid
- you don't own the original game, since no assets are included
- you need a from-scratch kart racing game rather than a port
- you want support for non-US ROM versions
