DKR-R is a static recompilation of Diddy Kong Racing for Windows and Linux, built with N64Recomp and drawn with RT64. It has a controller-friendly launcher and an in-game settings overlay.

An Accurate mode keeps the original 4:3 picture, 30 fps pacing and game behaviour. A Modern mode adds widescreen, interpolated high frame rates, a wider field of view, longer scenery distance and texture filtering. It also supports four local players with their own controllers, gyro steering, texture packs, save import and export, and two-player online races joined with a short code.

The download contains no game data. It needs Diddy Kong Racing (USA), v1.0 or Rev A, dumped from your own cartridge.

## How to set it up

2. Windows: extract the zip and run `DKR-R.exe`. Linux: run the `.AppImage`.
