Star Fox 64 on PC: Starfox 64 Recompiled

Starfox 64: Recompiled is a community project that uses N64: Recompiled to turn the code of Star Fox 64 into a native PC program. Rendering is done by RT64, which enables improvements such as high frame rates and widescreen. According to the project, it was developed alongside Starship and the two are sibling projects that evolve independently.

The repository and its releases contain no game assets: you need your own copy. GigaROM hosts neither the port nor the game; the download comes from the project’s official page.

• A GPU that supports Direct3D 12 (Shader Model 6), Vulkan 1.2 or Metal (Argument Buffers Tier 2). Oldest supported: GeForce GT 630, Radeon HD 7750 and Intel HD 510.
• On x86-64 PCs, a CPU with SSE4.1; ARM64 builds run on any ARM64 CPU.
• On Mac: Apple Silicon, or a 7th-generation Intel, with macOS 13 or later.

1. Go to the project’s official page (“Go to official project” button) and download the latest release for your system.
2. Open the program and provide your copy of the game in the main menu.
3. Play: the project loads the assets from your copy with no separate extraction step.

• Continuous-integration test builds are for playtesting only and may break.
• If the game crashes at startup, update your GPU drivers.
• The repository does not state a clear license.

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.
