Overview
Up to 240 FPSWidescreenFast Forward
Trouble Makers is a native port of Treasure’s Mischief Makers for Windows, Linux and the Steam Deck. It is made with N64Recomp and drawn with RT64, so the game runs as native code rather than through an emulator.
It renders at high resolutions, can interpolate up to 240 frames per second while the game still runs at its own 60, and has an experimental widescreen mode that draws real scenery into the extra space. It has remappable controls, fast-forward and a launcher that remembers your settings.
It is in early development, and every release so far is marked as a pre-release. The download contains no game data. It needs Mischief Makers (USA) version 1.1, dumped from your own cartridge.
