Mario Kart 64: Recompiled is a native PC port of Mario Kart 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 and ultrawide, high resolutions and high frame rates, and modern controllers.

The download contains no Nintendo 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 `MarioKart64Recompiled`.
3. In the main menu, select your ROM of the US version. 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 `MarioKart64Recompiled` executable and choose "Add to Steam".
