What it is

DKC3Recomp is a native recompilation of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! (SNES, USA, English and French), built the way DKC2Recomp was: the game’s code is statically recompiled to C with snesrecomp, the shared runtime executes through its interpreter anything the analysis cannot prove, and the project’s own hosts present the game natively on macOS and Windows. Levels are presented at 16:10, 16:9 and a 21:9 ultrawide mode (446x224).

The project is at the bring-up stage. It includes no ROM or game data: GigaROM hosts neither the port nor the game and the download is from the official page.

What you need

Your original copy: Your own Donkey Kong Country 3 ROM (SNES, USA English/French, headerless, 4 MiB). The project does not include game data.
  • Windows or macOS.
  • Your own headerless North American (English and French) Donkey Kong Country 3 ROM, 4 MiB, SHA-256 2277a2d8dddb01fe5cb0ae9a0fa225d42b3a11adccaeafa18e3c339b3794a32b.

How to install and run it

  1. Download the latest release from the official page (“Go to official project” button).
  2. Provide your ROM when the program asks: it is checked against the supported image.
  3. Choose the presentation (16:10, 16:9 or 21:9) in settings and play.

Current limitations

  • It is a 0.0.x bring-up release: see the project’s status record.
  • Only that exact ROM is supported.
  • In 21:9 mode, screens the map does not cover are centered with black margins.

Port or emulator?

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.
