BattleTanx: Global Assault PC Port (Native)

This repository is a native port of BattleTanx: Global Assault built from the game's completed decompilation. On Windows it runs with RT64 and Direct3D 12, with SDL2 audio and keyboard and controller support; on Linux it uses RT64's Vulkan backend. It uses N64Recomp, RSPRecomp, N64ModernRuntime and RT64 and is not an emulator.

According to the README, it has been played through the original menus into campaign gameplay. Validation of split-screen multiplayer and the game-specific HUD is not yet complete. You must provide your own ROM at launch.

• Windows x64 with a Direct3D 12 GPU, or Linux with Vulkan.
• The README does not publish minimum hardware requirements.

1. Download the verified Windows package from the project's releases page (the "Go to the official project" button).
2. Provide your USA Rev 0 ROM (.z64) at launch.
3. To build it yourself, the README includes Windows scripts and a Linux setup guide.

• Only the USA Rev 0 ROM is stated as supported.
• Validation of split-screen multiplayer and the game-specific HUD is still pending, and duplicated multiplayer HUD elements are yet to be fixed.
• The published release is 0.2.5.

If your computer does not meet the requirements, you do not have the exact version the port asks for, or you prefer the classic route, you can play the original with a console emulator: see emulators and its install and setup guide.
