Lighthouse is a native PC port of Banjo-Kazooie from Harbour Masters, built from the Banjo-Kazooie decompilation.
It adds widescreen, higher resolutions and frame rates, a settings menu, custom controls, and support for texture packs and mods.
The download contains no game data. On first launch it asks for a ROM dumped from your own copy of the game.
How to Set It Up
- Extract every file from the archive into a folder you can write to.
- Windows: run
lighthouse.exe. Linux: runlighthouse.appimage(you may need tochmod +xit first). macOS: runlighthouse. - Select your ROM (in
.z64format) when asked. - On first launch it builds its game data (
bk.o2r) from the ROM, then the game starts. - Optional: other regions can be added later as language packs under General > Languages in the in-game menu.
