DK64 Rekongpiled is a native PC port of Donkey Kong 64 made with N64: Recompiled, which translates the game's machine code into C automatically. It is drawn with the RT64 renderer.

It supports widescreen, high resolutions and frame rates, and modern controllers. The macOS build is for Apple Silicon Macs.

The download contains no game data. It asks for a ROM dumped from your own copy of the game.

## How to set it up

1. Extract the whole archive to a folder you can write to.
2. Run `DK64Recompiled`.
3. Select your ROM of the US version in the program's menu. Files in other formats than `.z64` are converted automatically if they are the right ROM.
4. On Steam Deck, extract the Linux build, then in Desktop Mode right-click the `DK64Recompiled` executable and choose "Add to Steam".
