Star Fox 64 PC Port (Starship)

Starship is a native PC port of Star Fox 64 from the HarbourMasters team. It is not an emulator and it does not include any copyrighted assets: you must provide a supported copy of the game.

It also lets you use another region's voices: with a US ROM as the base, the voice-over can be replaced with the European (Lylat) or Japanese one, though only one at a time. There is also a Nintendo Switch version, which reuses the data file generated first on a PC.

• Windows (zip), Linux (AppImage) or macOS.
• The project's README does not publish hardware requirements.

1. Check that your ROM is US 1.0 or 1.1 Rev A and in .z64 format.
2. Download the latest release from Releases (the "Go to the official project" button) and extract every file from the zip into a folder.
3. On Windows, run starship.exe and select your ROM; on Linux, run starship.appimage (you may need chmod +x); on macOS, run starship and select your ROM. The program generates the sf64.o2r file.
4. Play.

• The Japanese and European versions are not supported as the base for generating the data: a US ROM must be used.
• Only one voice replacement can be used at a time (European or Japanese).
• Its latest published release is 2.0.0 (May 25, 2025); the repository is still receiving changes.

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.
